Suvash Darnal Day: Inspiring Just Futures
Join us in remembering and honoring Suvash Darnal on the occasion of his birthday on June 8th. This annual public event aims to interrogate, inspire, engage, and launch innovative thinking and action on caste questions and just futures for all.
Suvash Darnal (1980-2011) was a visionary leader who profoundly impacted the discourse on caste and social justice in Nepal and beyond. In his short yet inspiring 31 years of life, he recognized caste as a cornerstone of Nepali society and relentlessly advocated for knowledge production and policy research centered on Dalits. His life exemplified the power of thinking outside the box, particularly by investing in new generations of Dalit thinkers and leaders to build a just and inclusive democratic society.
