Sudeshna Thapa on the Shadow of Majoritarianism: Nepal's Minority Struggles

#Ep.100

Sudeshna Thapa is a human rights lawyer and holds an LLM in International Human Rights Law from Lund University, Sweden. She is currently working as Research Coordinator at Social Science Baha, where she is involved in research on a range of issues including gender and social inclusion, minority rights and labour migration. She has previously worked as Research Assistant to the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Toxics.

Khushi and Sudeshna discuss majoritarianism in Nepal and recounting its historical and contemporary manifestations. They explore the illusive nature of Nepali majoritarianism as it persists and grows despite despite multiple efforts like electoral reforms. The conversation also explores effects on marginalized groups, and the role of social institutions in perpetuating it and considers future scenarios for creating a more inclusive society in Nepal.
