Pandemic Leftovers On Chepang Community

With a focus on post-pandemic narratives, insights from my ethnographic fieldwork consider the ways in which the post-pandemic situation is shaped by individual and collective experiences of agency, belonging, and community. The fieldwork was in the Chepang or Praja community in Chainpur of Raksirang Rural Municipality in Makwanpur, which is largely known as a socio-culturally marginalised indigenous community for ages. My fieldwork largely aimed to explore how they experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pandemic leftovers have changed their socio-cultural and political life.
