Ujwal Thapa was known to be among the first people to sow the seeds of alternative politics in Nepal. Known for his unique campaigning styles, Thapa can be largely credited for the new wave of non-violent, peaceful and creative protesting ‘styles’ that can be seen across urban centres of the country of late. He was known to be a fierce campaigner against corruption and was a staunch supporter of Dr Govinda KC in his fight against irregularities in the medical sector.
