Excellent write-up explaining (white) privilege using the analogy of cycling in Michigan. In #Nepal too there are those who are born into privilege (#StructuralPrivilege) just like the whites in the US. They are the hill so-called high caste Hindus. qz.com/257474/what-riding-my…

Nepali social, economic, and political structures are completely warped. The hill so-called high caste Hindu men are disproportionately highly represented in wp.me/p2Jbro-3Cx #Nepalhistory #structuralequality #structuralinequality #structuralissues #structuralprivilege

And, in #Nepal's context, "privilege," is synonymous w/ #StructuralPrivilege enjoyed by d Tagadharis, #KhasPrivilege or #TagadhariPrivilege if you will. In the US "privilege" is also synonymous w/ #StructuralPrivilege, privilege enjoyed by the Whites, i.e. #WhitePrivilege.

That's NOT to say that no one else apart from d Tagadharis enjoy any privilege. Ofc, others also enjoy a privilege here & a privilege there etc. A wealthy Gurung/Tamang/Rai enjoy/benefit from #ClassPrivilege but they still DON'T have #StructuralPrivilege. ONLY the tagadharis do.

I am NOT surprised by the fact that so many of the systems in Nepal are so thoroughly corrupt. Reason? Select ethnic/caste groups(s) monopolizing State structures wp.me/p2Jbro-5P1?utm_source=… #highcaste #highcastehindu #structuralinequality #structuralissues #structuralprivilege

So many in #Nepal are clueless or don't care to learn abt #StructurIssues (& related concepts such as #StructuralPrivilege,#StructuralInequity, #StructuralInequality, #SystemicDiscrimination/#InsitutionalDiscrimination) I've decided to maintain this thread to share info abt it.

If, as someone with the surname of Khanal, you actually believe that "मैले न केही त्यस्तो विशेषाधिकार [privileges] पाएको छु", then you have no idea what #StructuralPrivilege is & how ONE of the goals/purposes behind #Reservations in #Nepal is to bring about #StructuralEquality.

Or the existence of wealthy #Dalits is NOT evidence of absence of #systemic #discrimination, NOT evidence of lack of #StructuralIssues. Or NOT all Khas-Aryas being rulers does NOT indicate that only some Khas-Aryas enjoy #structuralprivilege. #Nepal

This argument AGAINST #Reservation/#AffirmativeAction never gets old it seems! The existence of poor Khas-Arya’s is NOT evidence of lack of #systemic #CsteBasedDiscrimination, #StructuralIssues in the country, & #structuralPrivilege enjoyed by them more than by others. #Nepal
