Hindutva's Growing Influence in Nepal Fuels Inter-Religious Tensions

Nepal is witnessing a rise in Hindu-Muslim clashes, fueled by the growing influence of India's Hindutva ideology. At least 17 documented clashes have occurred in the past decade, often triggered by religious processions. This trend is concerning given Nepal's history as a Hindu kingdom that transitioned to a secular state in 2006, with recent political shifts impacting inter-religious relations.
