In d 250-year-history of the country, it has had a few different regimes BUT all led by &/or under the control of old Hill so-called High Caste Hindu (aka Khas-arya) men.
Will history repeat or will the political landscape change completely as required or demanded by the times?

#Europe has NOT undone the gains made by the 15th century Renaissance & the 17th century Enlightenment.
In #Nepal, however, there are those who want to reinstate the #ShahMonarchy and/or revert back to a #HinduState from #secularism to regain the little bit of #power & #control they lost.

👇is something many around the world struggle to understand, including MANY in #Nepal. Nepalis are highly tribal--one of d many sources & causes of mental, social, economic,& political corruption in d country. (One of the many reasons Nepal is not for me & I'm not for Nepal.)

12 years ago, in May 2013, a Qatari father had me held in police custody for 12 days in Doha, Qatar for allegedly #InsultingIslam based on the words of his 12-year-old son. That just caught up to me. 2 days ago a recruitment agent told that they won't register me for that reason.

After a decade in #Nepal I've decided that there may be more Nepalis who believe that they have a right to be "hurt", "offended", or "angered" by what others say abt something associated w/, or tied to, their identity than those who believe in freedom of expression/speech/press.

In open & outward-looking societies where people have a #growthmindset, being independent-minded is an #ASSET.
In closed, inward-looking, tribal societies where people have a #fixedmindset (such as #Nepal), being independent-minded is a #LIABILITY.

There's so much #beauty & #humanity in this world!
But, unless you have seen/experienced--or are looking/searching for--them, you won't see/experience/encounter/find them.
&, if you have, you will have been AWESTRUCK by them.
If you haven't been, you haven't seen enough!😁😁😁

Finished the run...but took my time this time (image 3). #Halfie
