Today, folks in Nepal celebrate Prajatantra Diwas, which translates into “Democracy Day.” The public holiday commemorates this day in 1951 when King Tribhuvan proclaimed a cabinet and ended the 104-year-long dynastic, autocratic, and authoritarian rule of the Rana regime.
Nowadays, it’s easy to get swept up in the rhetoric surrounding people who are foreign born. If you want to know the value of #immigrants and #refugees, take a few moments to look at some statistics and research we’ve compiled. You may be surprised! iibuffalo.org/news/value/
