Untouchability in Nepal? Shocking!!!

This article came as a shocker to me. Didn’t know Nepal had the same evil caste system as India.

Some of the highlights of the article are:

1. Public Taps for so called ‘upper caste people’ throughout the village, Dalits forced to fetch drinking water from river
2. Dalit women trashed for touching a public tap
3. This is how so called ‘upper caste’ people seize land from helpless Dalits
4. Discrimination practiced in front of regional administration office
5. Dalit runs Republican Hotel

It is so sad to see Untouchability being practised in India and even in Nepal…When will this end?

    If I am not mistaken Nepal used to be the only Hindu kingdom in the world till the Maoists decided otherwise. So should it surprise if there is caste system alive in Nepal?
