@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?
