NOT Surprised Nepal’s Judiciary is Corrupt; Would Have Been if NOT — Here’s Why
I am NOT surprised by the fact that so many of the systems in Nepal are so thoroughly corrupt. Reason?

A Primary School Poetry Textbook: Another Evidence of the Failure of Nepali Education System?
A primary school poetry textbook contains 108 poems by 66 poets representing only 44 surnames. All but three were male poets. A vast majority (88%) of the poets were Bahun/Brahmin, hill so-called high Hindu, men who make up 6% of the population. And that's not even the worst.

So, view towers are prioritized over schools and libraries.
