Driven by the sting of childhood discrimination, I sought to "escape" Nepal at a young age. Over two decades of living and working across the globe transformed me, allowing me to find a sense of humanity that transcends borders. I finally broke free from the cultural constraints that tried to define my potential, discovering that I am a human being first and a nationality second.
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.
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.
Excluding the brief direct rule by former King Gyanendra following a 2005 coup, in its 250+-year history, Nepal has had four regimes, all led by the Khas-aryas, the Tagadhaaris (the Hill so-called high caste Hindus). The result: the country remains one of the poorest in the world.
One of the main reasons for this poverty is the deliberately suppressed and low level of education among the population.
The New Nepal must have a representative government and prioritize education above all else if it hopes to make progress.
