Скачать или смотреть Voice of the Marginalized: Biswash Chepang on Politics, Identity & Representation | Sensible Nepali

"Politics isn't a hobby for us; it’s survival." 🇳🇵

In this powerful episode of The Sensible Nepali, we sit down with Biswash Chepang—not just as a Samanupatik (PR) candidate for the Gatisheel Loktrantrik Party, but as a scholar and a voice for the unheard.
Forget the "Nepo Kids" and the career politicians. 🇳🇵 While the elite were flaunting luxury, Biswash Chepang was earning his MPhil from KU and fighting for the 90% of his community living below the poverty line.

Biswash is an MPhil scholar at Kathmandu University and an Erasmus Mundus alumnus who has spent years in the trenches of social work. Now, he’s entering the political arena to challenge the status quo. 🗳️

In this episode, we expose:

The Identity Trap: Why marginalized communities are still treated as "Vote Banks" in 2026.

The Scholar-Politician: Why Nepal needs educated leaders over legacy "Nepo" politicians.

The 2026 Vision: What the Gatisheel Loktrantrik Party actually stands for in the upcoming March 5th elections.



This is a raw, unfiltered look at the cost of representation in Nepal. If you're tired of the same old faces, this conversation is for you.
