Krishna Kumari Periyar is an MP in Nepal today but being born in a Dalit family made it difficult for him. |
Forty-five years old Krishna Kumari Pariyar looks like a typical Nepali woman. Colorful sari, vermilion-filled demand, red garland around the neck, bangles in their hands. Earlier, the sewing machine used to spin in these hands, now these fingers have held the pen to write the constitution of Nepal.
Krishna Kumari Pariyar, born in the most backward and downtrodden class of Nepal, is today a parliamentarian in Nepal and is playing an important role in the making of the constitution.
Krishna has traveled a very difficult journey to reach this place.

Krishna told the BBC, “I have faced discrimination since childhood. Some of my friends in school used to say that I am an untouchable. But this behavior inspired me to enter politics and overthrow such traditions. I used to tell them there is no difference between me and your blood. I have never been discouraged."
This political journey of Krishna Kumar Periyar actually started at the age of ten, when she used to go to participate in political movements with her father, but politics made a big impact on her personal life.
Krishna's husband left her because the husband wanted Krishna to leave politics.
Political Understanding
Being born in a Dalit family, the real-life experiences that she had brought in life, Krishna benefited from her political career as she now knew better what to do.
Krishna, a Nepali Congress MP, was nominated by the party four years ago for her work in writing the constitution. She was in the headlines of the newspapers everywhere that day. His picture with the sewing machine was printed everywhere but now his identity has changed.
Krishna says very clearly about the inclusion of Dalits in the mainstream, “I think just fixing the quota will do nothing. There is a need for a concrete policy and proportional representation to include backward and Dalits in the mainstream and to give quota. In fact, only the financially weak people should get this. The day the Constituent Assembly will frame a new constitution will be a very happy day for me. I will understand that I have fulfilled the responsibility that people entrusted to me."
Personal Life
Krishna Kumari Pariyar is moving forward in the direction of fulfilling political dreams, but what does Krishna think about the emptiness in her personal life.
Especially when her husband has also expressed his desire to be reunited, is Krishna ready to think about it?
Krishna says in a somewhat gritty tone, "I really wanted someone to be with me when my husband decided to leave me. That too when I had to feed my kids after returning late at night. Left me alone at that time. Now I have nothing to do with him."
Krishna still wears vermilion, but for her, there is now a bigger objective than the perceived pleasures of her personal life – the long fight for equal rights for Dalits through the Constitution of Nepal.
