Life is life, regardless of nationality, religion, skin color or any trait you want to name. And suffering does not discriminate. But to social and other media, the value of life appears to depend on one or combination of traits, such as nationality and religion.
Additionally, the suffering of some are more of a suffering than those of others. Not to me.
And, what's more, some believe that ones pain and suffering can be alleviated by causing pain and suffering to others. I don't.
A Graph is Worth a Thousand Words…It Seems
How do some Nepalese see statistics about composition of different bodies in Nepal?
While a few explain away the disproportionate representation of the High Caste by ascribing it to education, others are against disseminating such information because, according to them, they promote animosity and inter-caste hatred etc. These "educated" Nepalese fail to see/understand -- among other things -- how information is actually educational and empowering!

But there is a solution!
“Putting Someone In Their Place”…Nepalese Style
If only a human being were reducible to a stereotype...if only a human being could be completely defined by the mere social construct of social status...if only.
Social Justice: Social (Media) Status Upgrades
Birth as a low caste, a Dalit, in Nepal means that you are not only expected, but also made, to live in shame and poverty. In an effort to escape from that, they go looking for foreign employment but lacking in funds and education, fall victim to loan sharks and trafficking.
