Description
The exportable ready-made garment industry of Nepal is an industry suffering from two major fallacies. The first fallacy, which prevails in the policy and academic discourse, is the one that depicts it to be a shadow of the Indian garment industry. The second fallacy is the optimistic conviction of the majority of junior managers and workers as to its sustainability. These erroneous beliefs underestimate its contribution to Nepali society and disregard the serious implications the potential collapse of this industry may have for its managers, workers and society at large. Drawing on an ethnographic study of the industry, and in-depth interviews with the key stakeholders, this article aims to question the rhetoric about the garment industry of Nepal and its role in modern Nepali society.
