Something else I find
amusing/sad about fellow Nepalis:
Things you are doing or saying
that few or hardly any Nepali
does or says they find/think/
believe to be "wrong" or "bad"
for no reason other than
d fact that...so few--or no--
fellow Nepalis do or say!
It's as if like d whole world
of ppl beyond d borders
of #Nepal doing & saying
different things didn't exist
& being a human being
mattered little...
while also wanting d best
education for their children,
both within & beyond
d confines of national, cultural,
& social borders!
To tie that to
something personal...
Nepalis with nowhere near
as much education &/or
life experiences (work in 5
& travel in +30 countries)
have questioned what I’m
doing &/or saying, & have
told me I’ve got it wrong even
abt things they clearly have
little to no idea abt.
That is NOT to insinuate
that I know better &/or
more than them abt
everything or even most
things.
No sir!
I have learned a
great deal in d last 7 yrs
in d country, & am still
learning from them,
as well as about them. #Nepal#NepaliCulture
Following my experiences abroad & in #Nepal I have come to the following conclusion about #closed & #InwardLooking peoples:
Closed and inward-looking people (such as many of those in #Nepal) disprove of things that a minority say or do partly b/c they know their society expects & rewards conformity, & they do conform.
But what many of them never realize is the following:

2/ As you can tell (see image), Rato Bangala Kitab is the publisher. And this one is the 5th edition, published a year ago. The 1st Edition came out in 2062 BS (16 years ago).
There are MAJOR issues with the image below depicting #equality & #equity, HOWEVER, there are Nepalis (including an association of private school teachers in the country) that think/believe d third method is the way to go when it comes to providing equity in education! #Nepal 1/n
First, the MAJOR issues with the image.
"Imagine if you will, 3 people —all the same goddamn size. [...] The foundation on which these people stand is unequal, [....]"
In d context of education in #Nepal, what lies beyond d wall is QUALITY education...education which imparts #CriticalThinking skills, among other things, to a majority or a significant percentage of students. What we have, on this side of the wall, in d country is... #equity 3/n
You seemed to be making a gender-based argument for how violence is NOT just a male domain. And yet, your supporting argument seems to be that women with power can be violent. I can see how if power were something ONLY women had then...
@aavaas_412@ritinewa 2/ ...it would bolster your your gender-based contention about violence. But it's not. When there is power differential between people, the more powerful (whether a man, a woman, a child, able bodied, disabled, a trans etc.) has the potential to be and can be violent on a less...
@aavaas_412@ritinewa 3/ powerful individual(s) regardless of their gender (sex, age, sexuality, physical capabilities etc.!
I agree with you and @RITiNews about that violence. The violence that woman metted out was based on race where she, thinking of herself as a superior race & feeling more...
Many (mostly privileged?) Nepalis on Twitter, on Facebook, & in real life have argued with me that there is no or hardly any #CasteBased#discrimination in #Nepal. That #Dalits (& other lower castes) r NOT discriminated. Here are some evidence countering that. 1/n
Here's a recent article detailing how a #Dalit MP has struggled to find a tenant to rent to her. She shared this with her fellow Parliamentarians. #Nepal 2/n onlinekhabar.com/2018/06/683695
