While we hear so much negativities about Nepal, we should not ignore good news that come out of Nepal. For example, here's one good news I read today in eKantipur.com. I'd like to believe we are making strides towards just and equitable society. Casteist Brahmin gets 3-month jail
HARIHARSINGH RATHOUR DAILEKH, April 14 - District Court Dailekh has slapped a local Brahmin priest three months imprisonment and Rs. 1,000 fine on the charge of practicing untouchability in the district.
The single bench of district judge Thakur Prasad Sharma on Sunday gave the verdict against priest Dipak Upadhyay of Rum VDC finding the latter guilty of casteist discrimination against Shanta Bahadur Bishwokarma. Saying it was part of age-old tradition, Upadhyay had refused to tie the sacred thread around Bishwokarma's wrist during Janai Purnima festival on Aug. 16, 2008.
Bishwokarma and Janaklal Sunar, a dalit rights activist, filed a complaint at the district court demanding strong legal action against Upadhyay.
Upadhyay, who had been absconding since the case was filed, surrendered to the local administration after political parties assured the dispute would be settled outside court. The court released him on general date two months ago. Upadhyay went on record at the court saying he had simply continued an age-old tradition.

Ofcourse good things happen in Nepal too. Beside the news above, recently a principle of a rural VDC School was suspended for her misbehaving with a local woman in accusation of being a witch. The only different is the thread you have created today can be barely seen coz the thread lacks news.
