Activist Sharadha Bhusal Jha’s crusade for a fair society

For two decades, Jha has tried to keep the authorities in check with her campaign against corruption. And she says she’s not stopping any time soon.

Sharadha Bhusal Jha’s work table at her home is covered with documents of corruption cases. The wall behind displays a board of newspaper cuttings of the corruption cases she has looked into. At the centre of this board is a banner that says: ‘hamile tireko karko hisab magau’, or ‘we need to ask for the transparency of the tax we pay the government’ in English.
