Birth is a beginning…not an end, unlike how the Caste System in Nepal treats it.
A vast majority of poorly educated Nepalis raise their sons by pampering and pandering to them. Consequently, Nepali society ends up with an inordinately high percentage of arrogant and ignorant males who believe they deserve -- or are entitled to -- all the male privileges society affords them. One entitlement they believe in is to the bodies of females.
Of course, quality education for the masses is the solution.
Because of the LONG social, political and economic casteist history of Nepal, the hill co-called High Caste Hindus benefit from many (structural) privileges, while others are disadvantaged. But what percent in Nepal are aware of that, forget doing something actively in their everyday lives to counter their devastating impacts? What percent are even knowledgeable about what caste privilege is? This blog post summarizes some of that which constitutes caste privilege.
In the 2022 elections, Nepali voters elected a highly non-representative 165 FPTP members of the House of Representative...or did they?
Of course, while data show that, the reasons or explanations are a little more involved.
So, how does one explain the warped results of the 2022 election for the 165 FPTP members of House of Representatives?
Some can be explianed by statistics.
Analysis of Nepal's 2022 Election data for the House of Representatives seem to indicate that Nepali voters prefer their politicians to be old Khas-arya men. How and is that really the case? This is the first in a series of blog post on the subject.
In times of major conflict between different States or between peoples of different nationalities or faith etc., people around the world are divided. But, those NOT involved in the conflict directly must remember what is right and wrong and to not lose one's humanity.
