We live in a society where we still view the same people made of flesh and blood differently. The way people are treated is extremely discriminatory.

"I am Vikas Rasaili! A student of sociology. I have been actively playing my role in the Gen-G movement. In the past, politics was done to remove class contradictions, but the problem is still there. I see the same thing today."
Even within Gen-G, they try to hide the fact that they should not talk about caste or identity. Why? For me, developing a country is not just about erecting buildings that touch the sky, but also about ending all kinds of class, caste, and gender contradictions in society. Politics today should eliminate all kinds of social contradictions that have arisen in society and introduce a concept that will ensure the equal existence of all castes.'
At a program organized in Kathmandu, former Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai had expressed this view. His understanding of the country, society, and political consciousness seemed a little different from others. His statement had some important implications. To bring peace to society, the disorders and internal conflicts of society must be uprooted. The ten-year 'people's war' started by the Maoists was a protest against the injustice, injustice, inhumane behavior, contemptuous tendencies, and exploitative behavior of society.
How have we understood the development of our society? It seems that the Gen-G generation, who grew up with information technology, should study that development. If we listen to the words of the leader of the Gen-G generation, Rasaili, even though gender equality, ending caste discrimination, and class equality have been the slogans of political transformation since the past, there is no roadmap for that solution.
‘The woman who was in the kitchen of the house was brought into politics after the people’s movement of 2062/063. But, she was made a ward member. Why was a woman who covers half the sky not allowed to participate in the mayoral election with half a percent?’ Rasaili’s curiosity is worth thinking about.
Society has been transformed. The daily life we eat and live is being absorbed into the digital age. In such an era, talking about caste may be a very narrow understanding for some. But, in fact, this is where the foundation of thinking begins.
Sanjog Thakuri, who has been raising his voice in favor of gender equality for a long time, is engaged in the campaign 'No Vote to Violence' i.e. 'We will not vote for those who commit violence'. Why should someone who insults a community or caste and is not human-friendly win? The main argument of Thakuri's campaign is. Social transformation happens with ideas, the broader the thinking, the more prosperity there will be.
We are in a society where we still look at the same people made of flesh and blood differently. The behavior we do is discriminatory. The situation of losing one's life in the dark room of a chhaugoth during menstruation because of being born as a woman is still very common. The situation of losing one's life in addition to being a victim of daily discrimination in caste-based untouchability is the same.
The government is not positive on the international level in favor of human rights either. The recommendations submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in 2021 (third phase) show that Nepal has not implemented 67 percent of human rights, while 33 percent are partially implemented, and the implementation aspect is zero. Roop Sunar, President of the Dignity Initiative, says, "The state only says that it is working on human rights on international platforms, but it gains a foothold in terms of implementation."
Nepal has been systematically advancing development plans since 2013. The government has also implemented many poverty alleviation schemes. However, there is no radical change in the pattern of poverty in Nepal. The average population below the poverty line in Nepal is 18.7 percent. The situation of the Dalit community is still critical in this. If we look at government figures, about 42 percent of the population is struggling in the cycle of poverty. According to government statistics, 15.32 percent of the Dalit community in the hills and 44 percent in the Terai are landless.
The Gen-G movement should focus on including the communities at the bottom of society. Being Dalit, being poor, facing discrimination, and being humiliated is not a matter of anyone's desire or desire. The Gen-G generation has an important responsibility to have an ideology that encompasses the common nature of society.
Where there is discrimination and inequality, there should be a single voice of Gen-G. Gen-G, which stands against injustice and injustice, should be more active in eliminating the disorders of society. Those who ask why they talk about caste should be able to explain why they don't talk about caste. It is also necessary to interact openly on the issue of caste to eliminate the existing caste discrimination, distortion, and inconsistency in society. Rather than oppressing any caste or class, the Gen-G generation will have an important role in awakening harmony in society.
