Land grabbing at Kirtipur campus

The space represents a covenant of minds to work for a common educational culture.

I become pensive when I try to link education and politics at this time when the line separating them is getting fuzzier. In order to write about the relationship between education and politics, I have chosen the central space of Tribhuvan University (TU) in Kirtipur for the following reasons. First, it is the centre of the pioneering and largest university in the land. Second, it is my alma mater. Third, I think the example of TU is applicable to explain the modus operandi of other Nepali universities and their space management. Kirtipur as a university space is shrinking everyday as it is being slowly taken over by different agencies and institutions.
