Mahendra Ranawat, 44, originally from India's Rajasthan state and a cloth merchant for 20 years in Kathmandu was travelling with his family: "We had no choice but to flee our home," he said.

FIVE years after it abolished Hinduism as the state religion, Nepal is working on a new criminal code forbidding a person from one faith to “convert a person or abet him to change his religion.”
