Autocratic Shah monarchy and feudal Rana oligarchy entrenched structural discrimination and systemic casteism in Nepal for more than two centuries, structurally privileging the ruling caste, the hill so-called high caste Hindus. Shackled by their legacies in the twenty-first century, Nepal still struggles to make progress. But, even as challenging and daunting as fighting against and correcting them in order to create a just and equitable Nepali society for all may appear, there are ways forward. Education has a major role to play.

In a three-post blog series, I am reproducing the answers Grok 3 provided on the subject. This one--the second one in the series--details the legacies of the deliberately instituted structural discrimination and systemic casteism.

In this first of a three-post blog series, I am reproducing the answers Grok 3 provided on the subject. This one details how all that happened and/or how they were all deliberately instituted.
