Abstract: This paper investigates the enduring political instability in post-insurgency Nepal, focusing on the legacy of the Maoist insurgency (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006) and its ramifications for the country's democratic transition.It critically analyses how the conflict's aftermath-characterized by political fragmentation, ethnic tensions, and unresolved grievances-has obstructed Nepal's journey toward stability.Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the research incorporates a comprehensive review of secondary sources, including government reports and scholarly articles.The findings elucidate key challenges related to governance, federalism, and transitional justice, providing valuable insights into the prospects for achieving political stability and fostering national reconciliation in Nepal.
