Should a new, federal Nepal be divided into states along a north-south axis, as the ruling parties prefer, even though this would give the dominant hill castes of the north a majority everywhere? Or should the new states be delineated according to local ethnic identities, giving minority groups a sense of ownership of at least part of the country?
各政党在一些根本问题上仍存在尖锐冲突。新的尼泊尔联邦应该按照执政党偏好的那样沿南北轴线分割成州，即使这将导致北方主宰种姓在所有地区都赢得多数？或者，新州应该根据地方民族成分划分，让少数群体成为这个国家至少一部分的所有者？
