Justice for Dalits in Nepal


Justice for Dalits in Nepal
The Issue
Nepal is a small Himalayan country known all over the world for the highest mountain peak Mt. Everest and Lord Buddha , who spread the message of peace to the world. Nepali society has centuries old discrimination on the basis of religion,region and caste. Dalit community who comprises of around 14% of total population faces discrimination on the basis of caste and treated untouchables have to face inhuman behavior every day.
Nabaraj Bishwakarma a young man belonging to dalit community fell in love with Sushma Malla from so called upper caste community and wanted to marry but parents of the girl objected to it on the basis of cast and planned her marriage of their same cast. When the girl came to know about it, she informed Nabaraj Bishwakarma to come her house with a group of friends and take her away. When Nabaraj came to her village with his friends, the village as a whole along with local elected ward president got together and attacked him and friends with local arms and killed six people including Nabaraj and threw their dead body in the river Bheri. 12 other were injured.
Now, the police has arrested 28 people but the due to some political influence, the victims may not get justice. I would like to appeal all the people of Nepal and the world to raise their voice against the killing of Nabara Bishwakarma,Tikaram Nepali, Ganesh Budhamagar, Lokendra Sunar, Sanju(Sandip) Bishwakarma and Govinda Shahi. The government authority has not taken any actions to help injured Bhola Bk, Mahesh Karki, Bibhag Pun, Sudip Khadka, Govind Sunar, Indrajung Sahi, Jiwan Bk, Dilli Bk, Sunil Sunar, Saroj Bhadel and Lal Bahadur Khadka. Let us all help the victims get justice.
