Mimraj Pandeyaकसरी फर्कूं म मेरो गाउँ? | Poem By Mimraj Pandeyaकसरी फर्कूं म मेरो गाउँ?
परालको छाप्रोभित्रको जीवन
सधैँ प्यारा लाग्ने डाँडाकाँडा
अनि त्यो छहराभित्रको इन्द्रेणी
अहिले पनि म सम्झिन्छु- त्यो खोला
जहाँ हामी लुकामारी खेल्ने गर्थ्यौं ।
प्रकृतिले हुर्काएका मेरा सपना
आज सहरमा गुमाउँदैछु
सिरु दाइको गाडी चड्ने रहर
अझ अधुरै छ
बाले खोजेको असल पाठशाला
अझै गाउँमा पुर्याउन सकिनँ
आमाले खोजेकी सुशील बुहारी
अझै भेट्टाएको छैन...

Boju Bajai#54 Cold Takes by Boju Bajai feat. Shova Sharmaके नयाँ नागरिकता अध्यादेश साँच्चै प्रगतिशील छ? आमाहरूले बाबुको पहिचान नभएको स्वघोषणा गर्ने भनेको के हो? यो कसरी गर्ने ? तपाईको यी सबै प्रश्नका उत्तरहरू पत्रकार Shova Sharma सँगको हाम्रो नयाँ एपिसोडमा।
On May 23, President Bidhya Devi Bhandari promulgated Nepal Citizenship (first amendment) Ordinance 2021. The heated debate on the ordinance has slowed down. So it's time for our cold takes on Nepal's latest citizenship law, featuring journalist Shova Sharma. She is a reporter at Setopati. She covers politics and parliament and has written extensively on citizenship laws. She explains what the ordinance means for women’s right to confer citizenship to their children, and how the Nepali state continues to treat women as 'दोस्रो दर्जाको' नागरिक.

the Home Ministry on April 2 issued a circular to all 77 chief district officers across the country, telling them to grant citizenship by descent to those individuals whose parents are citizens by birth.
