मेरो थर थापा श्रेष्ठ, सबैले सोध्छन्– म कसरी नेवार? A lookback on history! #ThapaShrestha #Newa setopati.com/opinion/359600
Serpents (Nāga) are deities deeply intertwined with the existence of the Kathmandu Valley. Their long historical significance in religious scriptures and folklore is closely connected to the daily life of the people in the valley. So, they have been worshipped in various forms.
Despite a comprehensive evidence from Nepal to Art Institute of Chicago, they continue to ask for more proof. This raises a troubling issue: Why must communities bear the burden of proving what they already know to be theirs? sworupsth.substack.com/p/in-exile-awa…

पानीलाई निकास दिन चोभार (छो बहा:) को गल्छीलाई विस्फोट गरेर चौडा बनाउने भन्ने 'एक्सपर्ट' को को हुन ? उपत्यकावासीको मनोभावना गाँसिएको सम्पदा हो चोभार - ऐतिहासिक, सांस्कृतिक, भुगर्विक . . . यस्तो चोर बाटो समाउने काम नगरौं। (चित्र करीब सन् १८६०, हेनरी एम्ब्रोस ओल्डफील्ड)
Sometimes, I see AI like Aalu (potato), trying to be fit all over the place. Like Nepali can mix up alu in every recipe, AI can be mixed up everywhere.
