Nepal’s currency, the Nepali Rupee (NPR), is pegged to the Indian Rupee (INR) at a fixed rate of 1 INR = 1.6 NPR. But why?

This system was officially established in the 1990s to stabilize Nepal’s economy, control inflation, and simplify trade with India—Nepal’s largest trading partner, accounting for over 60–65% of imports.

However, this also means Nepal has limited control over its monetary policy, as changes in India’s economy directly impact Nepal.

In this short video, we break down:

Why Nepal pegged its currency

This is The ‘RAW’ Thoughts — a no-filter video series where I speak my mind, exactly as it is.

No scripts.
No political correctness.
No pleasing anyone.

In this first episode, I talk about a topic most people are confused about:
What is the REAL role of a Member of Parliament (MP)?

Why do MPs claim they built roads?
What are they actually elected to do?
And why misunderstanding this hurts democracy itself?

This series will cover politics, geopolitics, tech, religion, science, society, and anything that makes us think — all through raw, honest thought.

If you believe thinking is more important than blindly agreeing, this series is for you.
