Oncwe i went to one of my friend's home who is supposed to be from this high soceity class of kathmandu with her father in big government position.

They had several tharu girls working in their home who were kept in such a slavery i was shocked. They had to call every women (including guest) - Maharani

Can you imagine that and all men - raja sahab (even 2 yrs old) and everyone in the house including the 2 yrs old called them 'ta' and kicked her and they worked more than 12 hours a day and slept outside in a quarter that had no electricity.

I was shocked! We wonder where all the killings and revenge came from but our society has not been healthy for a while...
