Abstract
This article explains how Nepali Hindu women‟s oppressive position was created in
the past and how they are still struggling for their full liberation – mukti. It also
reflects that Hindu women‟s long journey towards freedom and equality has been
moving through a thorny path. Deriving mainly from literatures, this paper discusses
how Nepali Hindu women‟s identity „Aimai‟ was constructed and how, through their
continuous struggle, they are getting better condition as dignified „Mahila‟ yet far
from their reach to the position of fully liberated women –mukta mahila.
