Непал являлся единственным в мире государством, в котором индуизм имел статус государственной религии. На фоне падения монархии страна была провозглашена светской, но этот шаг встретил противодействие определённых слоёв населения страны. В статье анализируется связь между индуизмом и государственными институтами в Непале, рассматриваются аргументы сторонников и противников провозглашения южноазиатской страны светской. Автор приходит к выводу, что на протяжении столетий непальские короли использовали индуизм для сакральной легитимации своего правления и построения национальной идентичности. В результате процесс ликвидации института монархии обусловил и необходимость провозглашения Непала светским государством. При этом сама дискуссия о статусе индуизма началась задолго до 2006 г. и была вызвана недовольством государственной религиозной политикой со стороны представителей низших каст и неиндуистов. После достижения ими своих целей тон в дискуссии начинают задавать противники провозглашения Непала светским государством, которые пытаются понять последствия данного шага. С одной стороны, функции короля, в том числе религиозные, перенял на себя президент страны, Конституция трактует данный пункт в довольно выгодной для индуистов формулировке. С другой, в Непале наблюдается рост популярности иных религий, особенно христианства. О незавершённости дискуссии свидетельствует и то, что тему статуса индуизма поднимают в своих выступлениях не только отдельные активисты, но и представители крупнейших политических сил страны.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Until 2006, Nepal was the only Hindu state in the world. During the abolition of the monarchy, the country was proclaimed secular, but this step was opposed by certain segments of the country's population. The article analyses the relationship between Hinduism and state in Nepal, examines the arguments of supporters and opponents of the proclamation of a secular state. The author comes to the conclusion that for centuries Nepalese kings had used Hinduism for the legitimization of their rule and the creation of national identity. As a result, the process of eliminating the institution of the monarchy necessitated the proclamation of a secular state. At the same time, the discussion about the status of Hinduism itself began long before 2006 and was caused by dissatisfaction with the state religious policy on the part of the representatives of lower castes and non-Hindus. Now, however, the opponents of Nepal's status as a secular state begin to set the tone in the discussion. They are trying to understand the consequences of this step. On the one hand, the functions of the king, including religious ones, were taken over by the president of the country, interpretation of a secular state in the Constitution is rather favorable for Hindus. On the other hand, the popularity of other religions, especially Christianity, increases in Nepal. There is still an ongoing debate, and lack of closure in the discussion on the subject is also evidenced by the fact that not only individual activists, but also representatives of the largest political forces of the country bring up the topic of Hinduism in Nepal in their speeches.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Непал</kwd><kwd>индуизм</kwd><kwd>монархия</kwd><kwd>светское государство</kwd><kwd>дискуссия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Nepal</kwd><kwd>Hinduism</kwd><kwd>monarchy</kwd><kwd>secular state</kwd><kwd>discussion</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Альбедиль М.Ф.
