New Nepal: Break the Chain, Make Education Everything

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.

How to Fight Legacies of Monarchy-Entrenched Structural Discrimination And Systemic Casteism For a More Just And Equitable Nepal

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 third and final one in the series--details the way forward.

It's virtually impossible to address a social ill without the society first acknowledging it for what it is. When the education system does NOT do that, what chance is there at all of there even being a discourse about it, forget take steps to address it?! That is the situation with the caste system in Nepal.

What percent are even knowledgeable about what caste privilege is? This blog post summarizes some of that which constitutes caste privilege.
