1 of d many legacies of d 250-year history of #StructuralDiscrimination & #SystemicCasteism in #Nepal is not only that d #StructurallyPrivileged are DISPROPORTIONALLY represented in the most powerful social, economic, & political structures, but also in the pool of experts!
How is she even comfortable to accept the tag of a "policy expert"?? Hater huna khojya haina Ki but masters gardaima you don't become a POLICY EXPERT 😭
Ajja bideshko 2 barsha course padhera Nepalko policyma bahas garne expert rey?

Nepalis (more often than not #KhasAryas, d #StructurallyPrivileged):
“#Nepal is changing. #Change does not happen overnight—it takes time.”
Meanwhile #Nepal: (see chart of breakdown of d Parliamentarians elected through d FPTP electoral system over d last several decades) 😂 😂

If, as a member of d #StructurallyPrivileged
(whites in d US, hill so-called high caste Hindus in #Nepal),
you regularly encounter acts/speech/writing
that make you UNCOMFORTABLE,
then be thankful b/c that means
you don't live in a bubble &/or
are getting opportunities to grow.

Argument below is similar to one that goes along these lines:
'There are hill so-called high #caste (poor) Hindus slaving away in the deserts of the Gulf as unskilled/semi-skilled laborers. How are they (high castes) "ruling class/caste"/"#StructurallyPrivileged"?!' 😂😂 #Nepal

Ankit, quite some time ago, I discovered that there are #StructurallyPrivileged Nepalis who don't even know or understand d meaning of #Privilege. One argument they kept making, for eg, was? #NotAllKhasArePrivileged. So I tweeted this thread! #Nepal

A series of tweets about (structural) #privilege…the topic of a lot of exchange in the last 24 hours. 1/24

Another thing you should do if you belong to #StructurallyPrivileged group, stop making false-equivalent arguments saying how you didn’t have it easy either, that you also had to work hard and even were poor etc. etc. etc. dorjegurung.com/blog/2020/01…

Has anyone in a powerful social, economic, or political position in #Nepal belonging to d #StructurallyPrivileged (d Khas-Aryas) EVER shared a story of revelation such as this?
Has anyone heard or read anywhere a similar story shared by a Khas-Arya in Nepal?

Please correct me if mistaken but...
what I have noticed
being on #SocialMedia
(FB since 2007 & Twitter since 2012)
is that there maybe more
#StructurallyPrivileged Nepalis
who are offended by (& take
umbrage at) ppl talking abt/
pointing out #StructuralIssues
in #Nepal...

There may be some truth to that.
BUT it's also true that Brahmins &
Chhetris are d #StructurallyPrivileged
groups in d country. As for d Newars,
being indigenous to d valley, they
have enjoyed many privilege that
others don't. #Nepal #Discrimination dorjegurung.com/blog/2016/11…

What it triggers in a
non-khas-Arya, on average, is
far worse than what it does in you.
Based on the many MANY reactions
I have seen on social media & heard
in face-to-face interactions in real life,
I have come to conclude that if you
come from a #StructurallyPrivileged ... 4/

One of only 2 articles I have come across that bravely point out issues with those objecting to the EU's statement on the affirmative-action provision in d constitution for Khas-Aryas, the #StructurallyPrivileged! This one is by @Shreya_Paudel. #Nepal nepallive.com/story/20840 1/2
