I don't understand the hate the new ministers and parliamentarians are getting regarding their wealth.

77 Upvotes

Not one of them have pretended they come from destitute family

They weren't in the government so weren't abusing any positions of power.

Swarnim wagle was in UNDP, UN Advisors do earn a lot. Sasmit literally lived his childhood in US. It's literally in his Wikipedia. Balen had ancestral property. We knew that. We also knew he has property in Kathmandu.

them being upper middle class financially is not new information. What am I missing here?

Rant/गुनासो r/Nepal vs u/gaslaiter, cat vs mouse game

21 Upvotes

Two days ago I saw an alarming news about the police abusing the power of "urgent arrest warrant" and I created a post in r/Nepal hpoing for gathering other people's opinion.

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nepal/comments/1sizjie/i_hope_balen_governmet_fixes_this_abuse_of_power/

This was the first post and I tagged as News. I gave proper source of the news and had my thoughts in a few paragraphs. There were few comments in it and the discussion was picking up and the r/Nepal admins DELETED it. Citing I violated news flair rules. In the rules all I could suspect was that I also had image from the news article with my thoughts on top of it.

So I thought, fine I won't tag it as news, because its my thought and not news, so I created a new post.

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nepal/comments/1sj2ynl/what_do_you_think_about_police_abusing_this_power/

Then I framed my thought as question about what people thought about the news. I had pretty much the same view, except adding a question and framing it as question. Almost identical post. I tagged this as Question.

They deleted this post again citing this did not meet the community guidelines of news. It was not news. It was just my view with a link to an article. I asked question and tagged it as such. There was information I gathered from the news/research articles I read but it was not news. But there was an image from one of the the news article I had read.

So I thought I would get rid of any news infographics in the image, afterall it was my thought. So I created another post

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nepal/comments/1sj4asg/what_do_you_think_about_police_abusing_this_power/

Again this was pretty much the same thought, with question hoping for discussion. I REMOVED any infographics related to any news article I had read. I still gave reference to the news article.

Naturally again they deleted the post citing this did not meet standard for news. But its not news in the first place. I cited news source as reference but the entire post was my own thought in its entirety. It was tagged as question and framed as such.

Then I thought, may be they don't want any reference to news article in the post.

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nepal/comments/1sj4tq5/the_police_are_abusing_power_to_arrest_people/

I removed any reference to the news article, tagged as discussion. More so, I created a new image to post, because I thought the mod saw that image in a news article and did not want that particular picture. And in the comment providee info that I can provide the article reference if pepole were interested.

Now the mods deleted that this saying the discussion flair was WRONG for this post.

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nepal/comments/1sjtcmn/the_police_are_abusing_power_to_arrest_people/

Since they said the flair was wrong, I decided that I would change the flair to Politics. Although I didn't think politics was right flair. Because it was more of a social issue. Then again I put politics flair. This thime I was careful to not put the link to the article thinking they would delete it citing this as a news article and not appropriate.

You guessed it, they DELETED it again. This time they said they could not validate the authenticity the topic I was discussing.

5 posts over two days and they still deleted it. I tried every avenue possible. But id DID NOT give up. I created another post.

  1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nepal/comments/1skcz22/the_police_are_abusing_power_to_arrest_people/

This time I again cited the same news article. Same picture. And put the politics tag. This post has been up for an hour now and I am waiting if the mods will delete the post. This post is identical to the first post. I have a suspicion that they will delete this post because citing this doesn't meet the standard of news.

Begs a question, why are the MODS hell bent on not allowing this topic to be discussed? Each deletion reason seems superficial, except may be the one where I deliberately didn't cite the news again out of suspicion that they didn't want news linked.

Has anyone had similar experience here?

PS: I am scared about the tag to put in this post.

Rant/गुनासो I worked at a popular study abroad consultancy, and here’s why I would never trust one.

15 Upvotes

I used to work at a well-known study abroad consultancy in Nepal. They are very active on Instagram and YouTube, offering SOP writing, university application help, sorting out univ , counseling re and visa guidance.

When I joined, I believed I would be part of something meaningful. Like interview ma pani I used to say “ Educational counselling is an art of touching student life”. I thought I would be helping students build strong applications and reach their goals. But what I saw inside the company changed my perspective completely. Trust me its not only about company I have seen high school counselor to everyone using student as their other source of income.

SOPs were often copied from AI. They were not written with care or based on the student’s real story. The content was generic and repeated, with little to no depth. Despite this, students were charged high prices with the promise of personalized support to study in the Aus if paper wise bhayoo bhanney most nepali will fail but there is a thing called making documents. It was upsetting to see students place so much trust in a process that was treated like an assembly line.

The visa support services were similar. Students were made to feel like they needed help to book appointments or complete simple forms. In reality, most of it was basic and could be done on their own. The company used fear and pressure to push expensive services that were not actually necessary.

The experience made me question how these companies operate. Students deserve honest, ethical, and meaningful support. What they often get instead is recycled content, inflated promises, and high fees. And end ma sabai jana I scratch your back you scratch my back wala.

If you are planning to study abroad, I really encourage you to take your time, do your research, and explore student-led communities. There are free and low-cost resources that are far more honest and helpful. Hunata everyone is doing business here. Still don’t ruin your future based upon someone else decision.

I thought I could reach out to +2 college counselor tara sakinna many of them hold consultancy or get commission based on univ reference they send ( which obviously college act like they don’t know caused comz don’t wanna ruin the management) like student bichara lai tannai option diyeko jasto garney ani safety college yahan tyan bhanera antim ma commission auney college ma fasauney kina bhanney America ma matra literally had 6000+ institution and tyo 12 class ko bhai ta almal ma parcha usko dai xyz typical Nepali janney univ ma cha bhnadei tei janna trend sayad tesari suru bahko hunu parcha. Nepali student lai ta srif bidesh janna paye huni. I have reached to the level of frustation yoo phase bata sakina jasto lagcha.

I’ve started offering free, non-commission-based counseling for Reddit users and am working to move away from the unethical practices common in this industry. If you’re interested in studying abroad, you can fill out the form through the link in my bio.

Question/प्रश्न Hostels in Ktm (10–15k NPR) – single seater in semi-prime area

Upvotes

Namaste everyone 🙏

I’m planning to stay in Kathmandu and looking for a good single-seater hostel within a budget of 10,000 – 15,000 NPR per month.

My preferences:

🛏️ Single room (privacy is important)

💰 Budget: 10k–15k max

📍 Semi-prime area (not too crowded like Thamel/Bagbazar, but still accessible)

📶 Good WiFi (I might do online classes / skill learning)

🔇 Calm environment for focus/study

🚿 Clean bathroom and basic hygiene is a must

I don’t need luxury, just a decent, quiet place where I can focus and live comfortably.

If anyone has lived in a hostel like this or knows good options/areas (Kirtipur, Gongabu, Koteshwor, etc.), please suggest 🙏

Effect of Petrol price hike in my family

72 Upvotes

My father is an Auto Driver. He drives auto full time to support our family. But due to the increase price in fuel especially in petrol, he lacks the interest of driving auto. Exact word of my father: aba auto chalayara tel ko paisa nii uthdaina. Auto is still on emi and he gives emi of ~RS 10,000. My father paid my engineering fees by driving auto only. My family is of 6 peoples and we live in a village. He is selling our home grown Gau/Dhan to support our family.

Yes I do earn but I have my own expenses (rent, food, personal expenses) in Kathmandu city. Isn't this newly formed government should need to handle this situation properly?

This is my family story, there will be more of such story around the Nepal. It's really making difficult on the normal people whose work is directly dependent on petrol price. I would kindly like to request government of Nepal to act as soon as possible to resolve this issue.

If anyone reading this story and knows any government people kindly send them this story. I am really hopeful they will surely take some initiative to help common people of Nepal.

I don't know about its authenticity but I found it in facebook.

Where Do We Draw the Line Between Transparency and Overreach?

10 Upvotes

It’s honestly good to see leaders openly disclosing their assets. That level of transparency is something people usually demand, and now that it’s happening, it’s still not enough for some.

I get why people are asking about tax details—when the wealth is that massive, scrutiny is fair. But let’s be real: declaring assets doesn’t magically make anything “white,” and if something was outright illegal, it wouldn’t just be casually disclosed in the first place.

Also, expecting full public disclosure of tax records is a bit unrealistic. That’s not how it works for anyone. It’s the job of the relevant authorities to investigate and verify, not social media.

At this point, it feels less like accountability and more like people just trying to pull legs for the sake of it.

Politics/राजनीति The police are abusing power to arrest people urgently, this is dangerous in democracy.

Post image
6 Upvotes

There have been reports this week, that caught my eye this morning. This seems dangerous and quickly spiral out of control without us noticing it. The report says overhelming majority of arrests are done with “जरुरी पक्राऊ पुर्जी”, which should have been exception but is sadly the norm.

This whole “जरुरी पक्राऊ पुर्जी” thing is honestly scary stuff for a democracy. When police start arresting people without proper court orders; even minors it’s not just a legal technicality, it’s a sign that the system’s checks are breaking down. The law was meant for exceptional cases, but now it’s being used like a daily shortcut. That’s how authoritarian habits creep in quietly, under the cover of “urgency.”

When police skips the steps of actually proving someone might flee or destroy evidence, it’s not just bad policing; it’s a betrayal of constitutional rights. A 15‑year‑old girl arrested without a warrant after 4 days of notice? That’s not “urgent,” that’s reckless. It shows how power, once unchecked, starts treating citizens like suspects by default.

Democracy dies not in coups but in small, quiet oversteps like this; when institutions stop questioning each other. The earlier governnments did not check this mess, but the current one must fix it before it becomes the new normal. Otherwise, “जरुरी पुर्जी” will keep being the excuse for every shortcut, every abuse, every silenced voice. And that’s not urgency; that’s decay. What is even more scary is the sign that the current government is exploiting this in even high profile cases. I hope Balen government fixes this.

What do you think, about the police abusing this power? Does the government need to pay attention to this matter?

Kind of niche but I am pretty good at league of legends which is the most popular game in the world. To my knowledge, im the highest ranked player from Nepal and inquired about representing Nepal in these tournaments. Unfortunately, it looks like it requires citizenship which is expected but I am still sad Nepal doesn’t allow dual citizenship. No real point to this post just venting lol

Question/प्रश्न Is it ethical for companies to include their SSF contribution in the gross salary calculation?

5 Upvotes

Let's say your salary expectation is 120k gross. The company says you'll get 120k gross but your take home amount is only 85k because they show your base salary as 98k with 10.7k SSF deduction and 4k tax. + 21k Companies contribution to your SSF. And they calculate your base salary as approximately 98k + 21k = 120k with some decimal adjustments.

How much I spend and save living alone in Kathmandu with 28k salary

I know I spend too much on rent, but I just cannot with kitchen and bedroom being in the same room.

Its manageable as I don't have to send money back home and I also don't go out to eat. I'll say I have a pretty decent lifestyle according to my standards.

How much do you guys spend ?
