In this week’s deep dive, we trace the complicated history of squatter settlements in Kathmandu Valley—why people migrated here, how urban pressures pushed them to riverbanks, and the repeated government attempts to address the issue, often through force.

From #January 2025, where @inkthink reflects on the early January 2025 earthquake that shook central and northern Nepal raising important questions about whether we have learned anything from the 2015 earthquake.

From #April 2025, a guest post from @Pri_ttygood, where she spoke to numerous people about their experiences of the 2015 earthquake and reflects on what it means to remember and what it means to be resilient.

@neorohit I disagree with this framing. Young Nepalis did not die because they mistook real life for a video game. They died because they were shot and killed.

Finally, what does this election portend for women? Since September, Nepal has embarked on a very macho path, with chest-thumping from the mostly male candidates. But women constitute nearly 50% of the electorate. What does this mean for them?

Then, move into personalities. Three individuals are currently in the running to become the next prime minister. They each represent different stress democratic points, writes @SanjeevSatgainy. Read the full piece here: https://t.co/6mar00p1nY

Then, you can take a look at the party manifestos of six major political parties. We've broken each manifesto down by section and provided some commentary on each. Here is also a quick and easy cheat sheet comparing the six parties on major issues. https://t.co/DhkBWstzad

In this newsletter, we explain the FPTP and PR election process and the post-election process to elect a new prime minister. Read the newsletter here: https://t.co/2DKvGEGa0t

Two days to go for the election and if you're still undecided on who to vote for, you can go back and read our election coverage on @WeeklyKalam. A good starting point would be our explainer on the entire federal electoral process.

महिला एकाङ्की नभएजस्तै महिलाका मुद्दा पनि एकाङ्की छैनन् । पहिचानको अन्तरसम्बन्धलाई विचार गर्नु उत्तिकै महत्त्वपूर्ण कुरा हुन्छ । लिङ्गलाई मात्र हैन, जातीयता, भूगोल, वर्ग र यौनिक��ालाई पनि ध्यान दिनु पर्दछ।

I love the actors and the first 15 mins of the movie but I’m so disappointed I don’t even know where to begin :(

[Pranaya Rana @inkthink]

Initial thoughts on The Red Suitcase: an experimental leap that doesn't quite stick the landing. The slow pacing feels unnecessary, as if the actors are simply waiting to say their lines because the director asked them to pause for a few beats. The plot is hokey, almost farcical.

My apologies for not replying to your email sooner, every time I looked at it I was overcome by existential dread and ennui, and had to go lie down.
