About this episode
The episode discusses the political landscape in Nepal amidst the new year celebrations and upcoming elections.
Happy new year again time, since we just wrapped up Sonam Lhosar on Monday, and marked the beginning of Kirat Sambat 5086 on Maghe Sakranti last Wednesday. But new year’s resolutions and working on new goals with renewed josh jagar can wait until we change our Bikram Sambat calendar. New year, new beginnings can wait until April, re kya ;)But not if you identify as a Nepali man, who until recently was either a minister, a (rapper) mayor or a former ageing prime minister with tall claims about retiring from active politics cos it’s election season, yo!Listen to our bishesh tippani about how the new parties could reshape Nepal’s political landscape, and a recap of our 2025 and the long list of unaccomplishments ;) Read more about election fever in Nepal on the latest issue of Cold Takes by Boju Bajai https://bojubajai.substack.com/p/take... .Boju Bajai regularly works with reporters and researchers to bring compelling audio stories that center and amplify women’s experiences.
