From 2052 to 2063, Nepal was engulfed in a brutal civil war between the Prachanda-led Maoists and the King-led Royal Nepali Army. This conflict claimed thousands of lives, displaced millions, and left an indelible mark on the nation’s history. But how did a rebel movement on such an unprecedented scale come to life?
In this video, we take you *inside the secret world of the Nepali Maoists* — uncovering how they planned, strategized, and motivated everyday citizens to join their cause. What drove them to challenge the monarchy, and how did they rally people under the vision of democracy?
Join us as we explore the human side of this conflict and the secrets behind one of Nepal’s most turbulent times.
