Having grown up in Nepal, I know why Nepalis take pride in all the things they do and celebrate all the different things they do. But, returning to Nepal after almost twenty-five years abroad, most of my adult life, I discovered how much all of those things were holding the society and country back and how urgently Nepalis need to rise above them all.

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.

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.
