Kalam Weekly is a current affairs newsletter that keeps you abreast of everything happening in Nepal. It doesn’t just tell you what is happening but also why they are happening, who is causing them to happen, how they happened, and what they could mean for the future. Kalam Weekly strives to provide context in a contextless world. Along with a summary of events, each newsletter presents a deep dive into one major issue of note. This is a one-stop answer for everyone wanting to keep up with Nepal’s chaotic politics and its labyrinthine socio-cultural dynamics.
Kalam Weekly is written by Pranaya Rana, a journalist who grew disillusioned with the corporate media industry in Nepal and decided to create this newsletter as a passion project. We hope you enjoy reading Kalam Weekly, and if you do, please consider sharing it with others and becoming a paid subscriber. All posts are initially free, but a subscription gives you access to our archives that go back to 2021.
