About Me

Namaste! 🙏 I am Ranju, an aspiring political leader who was born and raised in Kathmandu by the most loving, strong, entertaining Single Mother and her fierce conservative mother aka my Grandmother. As I was raised by two strong characters, you can easily guess that my persona has been highly influenced by them. Each day since my childhood I struggled to find peace within and in the year 2012 I found my solace in politcs. While I was denied Citizenship in the name of my mother, I got a forced chance to meet my father for the first time! You can again imagine the intangible turbulance that I went through meeting my father after 17 years. Long story short, The state denied my mothers identity which infused anger in my mind and made me understand how difficult it is to be a woman in the country. Then and there I decided that more women should be in the decision making position and I should also be one.

I started my political journey in 2013 with Bibeksheel Nepali Dal which was later established as Bibeksheel Sajha Party in 2017. The year 2017 is a remarkable one for me from hundred different aspects. And number One aspect is My Candidacy for the Position of Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. I was a face of that once in a lifetime momentum that we Bibeksheel Nepali created collectively. It was a headon challenge to the mainstream old parties against their mishandling of authority and fake promises over the year. We did not win but we broke through the wall of narratives that "Youths cannot do Politics", "Politics is only for old parties". Fast forward to next election in 2022, Nepal witnessed hundreds of youths contesting in elections. I contested again and this time for the parliament but lost brutally. I have not won in the two elections I have fought, but I have not lost hope. I am still in Bibeksheel Sajha Party, as an elected Genral Secretary.

Besides Politics, I advocate for Mental Health (mondayformentalhealth is a platform I started in 2019). I am a part time faculty for Undergraduate Students at Thames College. And lastly, I am also a part time explorer of The Best Mo:Mo in town. 😃😃😃
