Giri and the changing Nepal-India borderlands

Recalling the contributions made by figures like Pradeep Giri has become vital in countering the dogma about nationalism.

Pradeep Giri was among the very few politicians my generation looked up to. He embodied the spirit of BP Koirala and Pushpa Lal, who had shaped the anti-(crypto)colonial consciousness and defined democracy for Nepal. It is on this political legacy that my generation is building responses to technological globalisation and corporate capitalism facing us today.
