About

Namaste! I’m Binit, a Nepali living in England, and The Nepali Diaspora is my hobby project—a weekly digest of news and insights from Nepal and our global Nepali community. I created this newsletter to make staying informed about Nepal effortless. With so much happening, keeping up with the news can feel overwhelming, so I do the heavy lifting—curating key updates on politics, governance, social issues, the economy, and diaspora stories—all in one concise read.

I’m not a journalist, just an avid news curator who believes that staying connected to Nepal shouldn’t be a hassle. I strive for accuracy, but this is a spare-time effort, so it won’t be perfect—and that’s okay! I also use AI to refine and enhance my work, but the curation, analysis, and heart behind it are all mine.

By subscribing, you’ll get a quick, no-agenda snapshot of Nepal-related news each week—so there’s no excuse to lose touch. Thank you for being here, and let’s stay informed together!

This newsletter is a work in progress, and I’d love your feedback and suggestions to make it even better. If you ever have thoughts, corrections, or stories to share, feel free to reach out!

By subscribing, you’ll get a concise, no-agenda snapshot of Nepal-related news (text and podcast versions) straight to your inbox (or favourite podcast app) each week. Plus, you’ll join a growing community of engaged readers who care about staying informed.
