RSP Lawmaker Anushka Shrestha Calls for Establishment of 'Living Indigenous Museum'

Kathmandu. Ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Anushka Shrestha has demanded that the government establish a 'Living Indigenous Museum'. Speaking during the zero hour of the House of Representatives meeting on Tuesday, she proposed this concept to preserve languages, scripts, and traditions, as well as to promote tourism.

Lawmaker Shrestha stated that the museum she proposed would not be merely a physical structure, but a living hub where indigenous languages are spoken, scripts are taught, and traditions are practiced. She argued that such a museum is essential to keep the languages of indigenous nationalities alive.

She claimed that this type of museum would generate sustainable income for Nepal's tourism sector and contribute to building a unique brand for Nepal globally. Furthermore, Shrestha noted that it would play a significant role in reconnecting millions of Nepalis living abroad and the younger generation with their roots and identity.

She has drawn the attention of the relevant government agencies through the Speaker to materialize this concept, which can integrate indigenous identity with tourism.
