In 'Rajgaj,' veteran journalist Hari Bahadur Thapa meticulously exposes the pervasive and deeply rooted corruption within Nepal's governance, spanning from the Rana regime to the current democratic era. This investigative work argues that regardless of the political system, the fundamental objective of many rulers has been to plunder state coffers, often escaping punishment despite public knowledge of their misdeeds. The book further illuminates how anti-corruption bodies have frequently been weaponized to target individuals rather than genuinely combat systemic graft, presenting a fact-based account of these recurring patterns.
