Did you know what Nepal was divided into six ethnic groups? Because I sure didn’t.

And no, I don’t think this is relevant to the Maoist insurgency in Nepal, at least not looking at maps of Maoist-controlled territory—although I’m speculating.

Guys – No comment about Nepal here; however, I did want to point you towards my review of Kaplan’s Imperial Grunts. It served as a nice break over my 1L reading for sure! On average this Kaplan book was as good as his past books relative to its writing style, but I missed his typical insightful commentary and analysis like that from Coming Anarchy or Warrior Politics. My review is here. Sorry for linking on an unrelated blog entry. Best of wishes to you all.
