Have you had any bad experiences because you are a dalit?
I had a Jaisi-Bahun acquaintance in my village. When I was told to step down from the threshold of his house, I almost felt as if I had died… Once, on the way from Pokhara to Baglung, I met a pundit on the road. I discussed the scriptures with him. While we were taking leave from each other he asked me which bahun I was, and I said Biswokarma. After that he began to address me as timi, not tapai. I felt bad but such instances are common.
