Abstract
Nationalism is not an ideology, yet Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) used it to mobilise the masses. In using it they joined it with the programme of Mao’s New Democratic Strategy, raising the stature of Nepalese nationalism near ideology if not to full-fledged ideology. This perhaps explained their success in leading the decade-long movement which started in 1996. Suchtactics; however, lights up another area of research. If nationalism can be so changed, can ethnic movements similarly claim in their mobilising ability the presence of some form of programmes?
