‘Reservation should be based on class, not caste’

Against this backdrop, Republica sat with former Chairman of National Inclusion Commission Dr Ram Krishna Timilsina to learn about various aspects of the reservation system that Nepal has embraced following the success of democratic uprising in 2006.
