My trolls keep asking me why I’m so opinionated and I guess I am in the mood to answer, so let’s go,
A thread:
A thread:
Being raised by a single parent and brought up in the community with the patriarchal mindset, I have observed and also gone through the hardships faced by women and/or Queers in the domestic and professional life.
And realized the sheer amount of struggles for women and/or Queers is comparatively greater than their male counterparts. The hardships and struggles from assigned home chores just to females and/or Queers to delegation of intellectual task force duties to males.

I have observed the plans brought by the government which is nothing but just another stunt to oppress and dominate Madhesh:
I have talked how youths especially from Madhesh are always pushed backed and how we can roar ahead:
During my tenure at @sanskritibrj as Chairperson, I got the first-row seat to observe and learn about diverse faćets of socio-cultural and economic aspects of Nepal, especially of the Southeastern Madhesh region where the issues related to gender-based discrimination are rising.
By co-organizing large scale public dialogue events such as @TEDxBirgunj, it has allowed me to understand how creating an open platform for healthy discussion helps in institutionalizing democratic values in society.
By collaborating and working with different organizations and government bodies at different layers, I have personally learned the courage required to overcome stigmas in the community is tremendous. These lessons have helped me to take my responsibilities with earnest intent.
I have talked on how the Government is trying to oppress Females and Madhesh by placing the Citizenship Bill and earning the “Nationalism" points from pseudo-nationalists.
I know how difficult it can get as a Queer while coming out of the closet:
