Kathmandu 6 Decades ago

This is a video that introduced Nepal to the world. This 1954 film is one of the first videos made for the purpose of educating the Western World about Nepal. Interesting point to note is that videos like these played a major role in propagating misinformation about our Culture and Lifestyle as they were shown in schools. Although the video presents a biased western view which ridicules the Nepali customs and uses words like primitive and savagery to describe the Nepali culture, it is an interesting look at the life of people in Kathmandu during that era. Don't take the video too seriously, don't get offended and enjoy this rare footage that shows the Nepali People and Kathmandu during the 1950's. I hope you guys enjoy it
