There is Poor Representation…and Then There is Nepal
The incredibly homogeneous power structure of Nepal is an anachronistic slap in the face of the equally incredibly diverse population of the country.
Birth is a beginning…not an end, unlike how the Caste System in Nepal treats it.
A Graph is Worth a Thousand Words…It Seems
How do some Nepalese see statistics about composition of different bodies in Nepal?
While a few explain away the disproportionate representation of the High Caste by ascribing it to education, others are against disseminating such information because, according to them, they promote animosity and inter-caste hatred etc. These "educated" Nepalese fail to see/understand -- among other things -- how information is actually educational and empowering!
The Silenced…Go Silently
The biggest killer of Nepalese girls and women is suicide. Part of the reason has to do with Nepalese society not valuing female lives anywhere near as much as those of males in general and other social issues arising from cultural practices and mentality. There are things we, the Nepalese men, can do to change things around.
Nepal: No Country for Women
Nepal is a country by men, for men. But it's time to recognize why that is so and to move forward.
