The 2026 Mirage: Why Nepal’s Upcoming Elections Won’t Break the 250-Year Cycle

nepal is going nowhere featimage

Throughout Nepal’s 250-year history, the nation has endured a persistent internal colonization by the Khas-Arya—specifically, Khas-Arya men. This hierarchy remained immutable even after the hereditary monarchy was toppled in 1990; the Khas-Arya elite simply metamorphosed from royal subjects into democratic hegemonists. The upcoming March 2026 elections fail to signal a departure from this legacy. By orchestrating a selectively educated populace, the ruling caste has ensured that the mechanisms of their power remain both unchallenged and, for many, invisible.

A Legacy of Structural Discrimination And Systemic Casteism: The Nepal Army

population vs COAS featimage

The entire history of Nepal is characterized by structural discrimination and systemic casteism, initiated by Prithvi Narayan Shah, the founder of the country. Evidence of these structures—from the highest levels of federal government to the smallest local offices—abounds, if you care to look. The Nepal Army, the institution responsible for the nation’s safety and security, is just one example. A disproportionately high percentage of those who head the institution are hill so-called 'high-caste' Hindu men.

Nepal’s Digital Shame: How Government Incompetence Exposes Every Citizen’s Data

An incompetent and negligent government can compromise not just the physical safety and security of the population, but now, in the twenty-first century, the century of data, personal data can also be compromised by them.

This post focuses on how the Election Commission of Nepal has not only compromised the personal details of MILLIONS of citizens in the run up to the 2022 elections but continues to do so even now in the run up to the 2026 elections.

The Price of “Nepali Time”: How Disrespect for Time Reveals Disregard for Life

time and movement featimage

If you value time and human life, then you would respect the time of another human being.

"Nepali Time," a famous local concept, to those who value time and life, is a sign of disrespect. That is: disrespecting a person's time is disrespecting them, and a persistent pattern suggests you don't sufficiently value their life.

In order for Nepal to make progress, the country must mass educate the population so that they learn to value time considerably more and therefore the lives of others.

The Sham Authority of Tanka Dahal’s “Federation of International Journalist”

FIJA appears to be a toothless non-profit organization registered in the US. It also appears to be of, for, and by the hill so-called high caste Hindus of Nepal. It purports to champion "freedom of the press" around the world. But, pathetically, one of the recent things it did was to lend support to the work of Tanka Dahal, its General Secretary, a known purveyor of misinformation. Ironically, Dahal is also a staunch monarchist. The 250-year history of the Khas-arya monarchy in Nepal was characterized by the regime stifling rights and curtailing many freedoms, including freedom of press!
