In this blog post, I share the results of using AI to analyze the population of Nepal for its composition by ethnicity/caste/social group. I had AI analyze 2021 national and provincial data o the population disaggregated by different groups.
Nepali society is highly dysfunctional, hollow, and deeply flawed. There are many reasons behind that.
One is that Nepalis struggle greatly to empathize with fellow Nepalis even while they take pride in being born in the same country as the historical Buddha.
Another is that accountability for one's words and actions are virtually nonexistent. The reason? The level of education of the population is low, and even that education is of poor quality, the products of which are people unable to think and reason logically.
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.
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.
The pattern in Nepal's population distribution by single year age, whether one from 1961 or 2011, is peculiar! They have spikes and there's a pattern to them--two too! So the question is why?
Of course, such patterned spikes in age distribution data do NOT generally exist because there's NO reason to!
Nepal is NOT a knowledge-based economy. As a matter of fact, the aim of those in positions of power and influence--for whom power and money trumps everything--has always been to keep the population poorly education in order to control and manipulate them. So, view towers are prioritized over schools and libraries.
Closed and inward-looking people are "offended" or "hurt" by anything they perceive as an attack on anything even remotely connected to or part of their identity. Many even go on the offensive in reaction instead of introspecting.
Closed and inward-looking Nepalis are no different. This is an example of their reaction to protests by indigenous population against Dassain, the biggest national festival of the country, which, to many of them, is a symbol of oppression and suppression.
Dassain, a Hindu festival, is recognized and celebrated by many in Nepal as the biggest and most important national festival. As per the historian Bhagiraj Ingnam the festival has a dark history -- a history of past regimes wielding it as a tool to subjugate and control the indigenous population. As such, to many the festival is actually a symbol of oppression and suppression.
