#17 OPINION (STATE, NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL ISSUE)

Beauty without brain?


In June 2nd, 2017 Miss Nepal was held back in my country Nepal. It is just like any other pageant that takes place all over the world. There were four main winners announced that day who would later represent Nepal in other main pageants. The winners were Miss Nepal World 2017 Nikita Chandak who is now representing the country in Miss World 2017 pageant held in China. Next, Miss Earth Nepal 2017 Rojina Shrestha who went on Miss Earth 2017 Philippines. Then there is Miss International Nepal 2017 Niti Shah who went to Japan to represent our country in Miss International 2017 pageant. Lastly, Miss Asia Pacific International Nepal 2017 Sahara Basnet who went to Miss Asia Pacific International 2017 held in Manila, Philippines to represent the country. 

During all this, regarding our Miss International Nepal 2017 Niti Shah, an incident took place just few days ago. Niti Shah who went to Japan to represent the country in Miss International 2017 said some really stupid things about women in Nepal and the education system during a group discussion that took place in Miss International 2017 which caused a huge chaos in Nepal and among the Nepalese. We don't know if she did it mistakenly or she really wasn't aware about the situation of women and education in Nepal.

The first thing that's wrong with this speech is that it is negative. She ends up bringing negative points about women in Nepal and education which is completely wrong. It can be clearly seen that the situation of women and education not only in urban areas but in rural areas of Nepal has been changing in a good way. It was gotten way better than before. That is one of the things she should've researched more about. Another thing that is wrong here is that she also mentions how our country is backward in terms of education which is incorrect as well. Her entire speech consists of randomness. Seems like she didn't do any research before going to the pageant. The things she said seemed very demeaning and humiliating for all the Nepalese including myself.
