Research paper, abstract: Since the beginning of the 21st century, the expression “Nepalese diaspora” has increasingly been used by the Nepalese government, expatriates, reporters and intellectuals.

Analysis of authoritative websites and links between different websites helps understand the structure of the Nepalese diaspora and the issues at stake.
