के नयाँ नागरिकता अध्यादेश साँच्चै प्रगतिशील छ? आमाहरूले बाबुको पहिचान नभएको स्वघोषणा गर्ने भनेको के हो? यो कसरी गर्ने ? तपाईको यी सबै प्रश्नका उत्तरहरू पत्रकार Shova Sharma सँगको हाम्रो नयाँ एपिसोडमा। On May 23, President Bidhya Devi Bhandari promulgated Nepal Citizenship (first amendment) Ordinance 2021. The heated debate on the ordinance has slowed down. So it's time for our cold takes on Nepal's latest citizenship law, featuring journalist Shova Sharma. She is a reporter at Setopati. She covers politics and parliament and has written extensively on citizenship laws. She explains what the ordinance means for women’s right to confer citizenship to their children, and how the Nepali state continues to treat women as 'दोस्रो दर्जाको' नागरिक.
