Inspired by Shankhadhar, I Waived the Loans of all Farmers in 065: Prachanda

When thinking deeply, this process and initiative of social justice is inherent in the inspiration of Shankhadhar Sakhwa.

He mentioned that Nepal Samvat is now established not only for one community but as a fundamental Samvat of the entire Nepal and a Samvat related to social justice.
