Kathak dancer Subedi defies odds with grace and talent

By Republica

Published: March 08, 2024 01:30 PM

Nepal started observing International Women’s Day 34 years ago, commemorating a significant occasion that underscores the united commitment to human rights and the ongoing pursuit of gender parity. The theme for Women's Day this year (March 8) is "Invest in women: Accelerate progress," complemented by the campaign theme, "Inspire Inclusion”. In celebration of the 34th International Women’s Day in Nepal, Republica has curated a collection of 34 inspiring stories showcasing unwavering courage, resilience, and empowerment of women below the age of 34. These stories are not merely personal; they wield a profound impact, shaping the lives of those who share them. They unfold as tales of courage, resilience, and empowerment.

Sita Subedi, 19, from Chitwan, Meghauli, presents resilience and passion in the face of adversity. Losing her leg to cancer at an early age of twelve could have easily unsettled her dreams, but Subedi’s determination and love for dance moved her forward on an extraordinary journey.

Despite the challenges of battling cancer and navigating social barriers, Subedi has emerged as a multifaceted talent, excelling as a model, classical dance/music instructor and dancer.

Subedi’s passion for dance dates back to her childhood days and even the diagnosis of bone marrow cancer couldn’t extinguish her passion. Before undergoing the life-altering amputation, she danced to a song played on Kalika FM, determined to cherish the joy of dance one last time.

Despite the inherent challenges of Kathak, a dance form that traditionally demands movement of both legs, Subedi refused to yield to limitations. Through sheer determination and perseverance, she mastered the art of conveying stories through dance, even with just one leg.

Subedi’s journey entails that with passion, anything is possible.
