Posts of Dailekh

Some believe Dailekh was a realm (loka) of gods (deva) and that’s how it was named Devaloka, which later became Dailekh. The oldest inscription in the Nepali language, dated CE 981, is associated with Dailekh.

If you are working on the Dalit issue, you would like to know about the incident when Bakhat Bahadur Khadka, the head of the Meheltoli village, issued a recommendation to Kavi Ram Kami as Kukur Kami for his citizenship on May 20, 1989. Kavi Ram Kami, an illiterate Dalit (traditionally considered an untouchable caste), gained attention in 2022 due to his story causing an uproar. The Home Ministry ordered the District Administration Office to rectify the situation by correcting the name on the citizenship.
