Slavery In Nepal | Kamaiya and Kamlari Pratha Explained

Video Description

In 2045 B.S., a young Tharu girl named Shanta Chaudhary was sold as a Kamlari — a bonded servant — at the age of just eight. Born in Dadagaun, Dang, her childhood was taken away by a system that treated poor Tharu children as property. This video tells her powerful and emotional journey from slavery to freedom. Through real events and history, we uncover the truth behind the Kamaiya–Kamlari system, which trapped thousands of Tharu families in generations of unpaid labor. From the dark days of servitude to the national movement for liberation, Shanta’s story reflects the voice of many who suffered in silence. Based on the book “Kamlari Dekhi Sabhasad Samma” (From Kamlari to Parliament Member), this documentary highlights how Shanta broke the chains of slavery, became an activist, and later served as a member of Nepal’s Constituent Assembly. Her life represents courage, resilience, and hope — a reminder of how one woman’s struggle can inspire an entire nation. Watch till the end to understand Nepal’s hidden history of bonded labor and the powerful story of a woman who turned pain into purpose.
