I was trying to avoid this discussion but: Tell me newar ko choro, yaha tero bau le kunchai Janajati ko keti lai mari racha. You guys are taking advantage of the fact that bahun and chettri are not saying anything. There is a saying in Nepal: "Newar esta (mitra) ra bau dusta kaile hundai na," bhanaya eastay hunda do rai he cha. Employer beats up domestic help BY SANGEETA RIJAL KATHMANDU, June 15 - An employer on Thursday severely beat a domestic helper, a third grader student at Ratna Rajya School, Baneshwor. Ankur Shrestha a resident of Bhimsengola-34, beat up Meera Tamang, a 10-year-old in front of several students and teachers. "I was dragged on to the road from the school compound and beaten with a wooden stick until it broke," Tamang told reporters. Students and teachers took Tamang to Bharosa Diagnostic Clinic near the school after she lost consciousness due to the beating. However, clinic medics referred the case to Bir Hospital, which, in turn, referred the case to the Maternity Hospital, Thapathali suspecting rape. A hospital doctor said there were no symptoms of rape. Meanwhile, employer Shrestha denied taking excessive measure. "That was not barbarism, I simply slapped her because I was very angry with her as she hadn't returned home since yesterday," he said. "Being like a guardian, it was my right; the teachers just made an issue out of it." Tamang said that two men overpowered her yesterday on her way back home and took her to a jungle due to which she could not return home. "They abandoned me in the jungle and I couldn't find my way back," she said. She reached the school this morning with the help of a stranger. Meanwhile, over 100 students of the school protested in front of Ward Police Station, New Baneshwor, demanding action against the employer. They said that Tamang often came to school on an empty stomach crying. The girl has been taken to the shelter of Child Workers in Nepal Concerned Center (CWIN). The school, Children-Women in Social Service and Human Rights (CWISH), CWIN and Legal Aid and Cunsultancy Center (LACC) are filing a case against her employer on Friday, said Pradip Dangol, coordinator of the emergency action unit of CWISH.
