A controversial cable car project has been proposed in the sacred site of Pathibhara (Mukkumlung) in eastern Nepal, home to the Indigenous Yakthung (Limbu) community. Local residents from the Limbu community are opposing the project, arguing that it will harm their historical and cultural heritage. The Pathibhara cable car project, spearheaded by IME Group, a Nepali conglomerate, has become a flashpoint in the ongoing tension between “development” advocates and local Indigenous groups in Nepal.

When I was around four years old, my family moved from our village in Bihar to a town in Jharkhand in eastern India. Growing up, whenever I struggled with my studies, my parents would mention the possibility of returning to the village. This prospect, while meant to motivate me, also opened my eyes to the limitations faced by women there. I witnessed underage marriages, restricted mobility for women, and irregular access to basic resources like electricity and water.

Cuando tenía alrededor de cuatro años, mi familia se mudó de nuestra aldea en Bihar a un pueblo en Jharkhand, al este de India. De niño, cuando se me complicaban los estudios, mis padres mencionaban la posibilidad de volver a la aldea. Esta idea, supuestamente motivadora, me abrió los ojos a las limitaciones que tenían que enfrentar las mujeres allí. Presencié matrimonios infantiles, restricción de movilidad para mujeres y acceso irregular a recursos básicos, como electricidad y agua.
