to Understand vested in Nepalese. The use of which shall be as
provided for in this constitution
[Part 1, Article 2 of Constitution of Nepal 2072.]

Nationality refers to the states belonging to a particular nation, birth or naturalization.
It is also the membership in the community of particular nation. It is the psychological
feelings of the people towards their nation. It is the relationship between a person
with the state of origin, culture, association, affiliation or loyalty.
In Nepal the people of various castes, languages, religions and classes live together.
The nationality of Nepal is the emotional and mental commitment determination
and dedication and the behavioural presentation of the community living together in
Nepal. People of Nepal have contributed equally to the national development. It is the
responsibility of every Nepalese citizen to maintain balance and coordinate to each
other for the protection of national integrity and nationality. The history of Nepal,
several times, Nepalese people have proved their strong feeling of nationality.
Nepalese people want to live with self-respect. The history shows that they never
bow down to any one. It has become our glorious tradition. The bravery shown by
Balabhadra Kunwar in the war of Nalapani, the bravery shown by Bhakti Thapa in
the fort of Malau and nationality of Amar Singh Thapa proved that there is a feeling
of high self respect in the Nepalese people. All of us should have the thinking centered
on nation and nationality. We need co-existence rather than self existence on the
subject of national concern. The issues of National concern are the matters associated
with a state which needs to be accepted by every citizen.

National integrity is the state of being undivided. Nepal is a sovereign country, secular
inclusive, democratic, republican state. Nepal has always been an independent,
indivisible, sovereign and an inclusive country. There is a great role to be played
by both the government and the citizens to maintain integrity in the country. To
maintain national integrity there must be good governance, rule of law, peace and
harmony, equal distribution of means and resources, etc.

Nepal is a multi- ethnic country. So, the government should try to practice inclusiveness
to bring all the ethic groups into the mainstream. State should not discriminate
the people on any basis, but treat them as a valuable human resource and become
responsible to fulfill their genuine needs and demands. The states responsibility is
to protect and preserve the language, culture, religion, etc. of all races. All citizens
