A video of caste discrimination in Jumla has been going viral since Sunday evening. The incident, which took place at a hotel in the Kalekholi area of ​​the district headquarters, Khalanga, has openly challenged the new government, which has announced an apology for all past discrimination.

Kavita Budha of Jumla Guthichaur-3 is seen openly calling Raj Bahadur Sunar, who had gone to the hotel to have hot water, a doom. In the one-minute and 34-second video that has been made public, she says, ‘Doom is doom. Buffalo meat is eaten. I roasted it. Why didn’t I roast it? They come to my house to buy tails during Dashain.’

She says to other women nearby, ‘Can you not roast doom, do not roast doom?’ She even expresses her anger by saying that she has to hide her behavior.

Raj Bahadur, who is standing nearby, seems to be giving a normal rebuff by saying, "Teroma, tell me who is coming to get your tail." Again, Kabita says, "I couldn't tell you when I was supposed to tell you." So, brother, I'm going to tell you, brother. "I swear, I'm also over." Pointing to a woman nearby, she says, "During Dashain, brother Surya used to come to play the drum and I didn't tell her. My brother came to ask for seeds during my wedding and I didn't tell him." She says in a loud voice to the people sitting in the nearby hotel, "Brother, don't feel bad, I didn't tell you." Those sitting around seem to be suggesting that this way of speaking is not polite. 'I will not tell you (currently in the police) my elder brother will be taken out', she instead makes threatening statements. 

Now that this video of caste discrimination has gone viral, those concerned with the Dalit community are objecting and demanding legal action.  They have even warned that they will protest if legal action is not taken against the woman immediately.
