Something that stands out to me, as a Nepali. Point being University is capable of suing a ruling administration for its unwarranted meddling!

The last thing the world needs right now is one more war!

[Kalpana Jha @kjhaktm]

@parajulilr That was precise!

[Kalpana Jha @kjhaktm]

How interesting to see all men come together in defence of a fellow MAN although he isn’t without a questionable image! I hope these men speak up as loudly, clearly and boldly for women too when they are deprived of citizenship but also raped, murderdered, vilified, undermined!

[Kalpana Jha @kjhaktm]

@CsifNepal @niha_pandey @MohnaAnsari @RojeeKattel Interesting! Was there any discussion on what is feminist foreign policy at its core? What does it mean for Nepal? We are a peace zone, part of NAM… etc. tie into the debate. It would be useful to know more! Please share if you have any publications.

[Kalpana Jha @kjhaktm]

If this is of interest! https://t.co/PTuts48M9K

@NepalPoliceHQ this guy should be put behind bars without delay. His profile should be banned too!

बांके जिल्ला प्रशासनले नेपालगंजमा निकालेको सद्भाव जुलुसमा 'शान्तिप्रिय' मुस्लिम युवाहरूले छतमा पहिले देखि जमा गरेको ढंगा पत्थरले प्रहार गरेर शान्तिपूर्ण माहौल कायम राख्नको लागि आफ्नो अमूल्य योगदान दिंदै गरेको दृष्य

@PantDinesh1991 @NepalPoliceHQ I agree @NepalPoliceHQ should find this person and punish them!

काठमाडौं यस्तो सहर हो, जसले सधैं सबैलाई आत्मसम्मानपूर्वक बाँच्ने आधार दियो। जसले सधैं सबैलाई अपनायो। जहाँ सबै आए र यहीँका भए, कसैले पनि बाँच्न नपाएर यहाँबाट फर्किनुपरेन।
यही नै काठमाडौंको आत्मा हो।

This fear is becoming real by the day. In such a situation it becomes an imperative that citizens exercise their highest morality and consciousness and not let the country fall into the loop of hate and disdain!

[The Record @recordnepal]

ICYMI, this week's newsletter takes a close look at an unknown Nepali political party being heavily promoted from across the southern border. What does this portend? @inkthink takes a stab.

“बालविवाहका कारण सामाजिक, आर्थिक, मानसिक, शारीरिक रुपमा असर गर्नुका साथै पुरानो अन्धविश्वास र रुढिवादी संस्कार यहाँ जकडिएर बस्दा झन् बढी समस्या थपिएको सिस्ने गाउँपालिका–१ का वडाध्यक्ष रजबहादुर बुढाले बताए।” https://t.co/LhOW56ynuu

"Nijgad is not an airport project, it is a scam to log thousands of hectares of hardwood forests. Even as an airport, it presents risks to the economy, ecology, food and water security."

Timely piece as my own village in Panchrauta is confronted by appalling shortage of water! The combined failure of state policies and flawed vision of development is what I see at the crux of this issue!

A thread on an implosion foretold?

Over the last few yrs I've closely followed the steadily deteriorating political & security situation in India's near east. Here's some articles that trace the (geo)political run-up to the mess we are in today.

Looks like Nepali nationalists only have two agenda left; Citizenship and Sita! Interestingly both revolve around women!! I wonder what they would for votebank without these two?!
