Girija is 82. 82 per cent of almost 25 million Nepalis are under the age of 40. If you line up all Nepalis from one end to another by age (say 1-day-old to 100+ years old), the age of the person right in the middle would be: 18 years. Ours is a very young country, in terms of the age of its people. **** BUT Of course, demography is NOT (yet) destiny in Nepali politics. That is why, Girija, at the grand young age of 82, must again be the Party Leader. oohi ashu
