"…during the nineties and even early two-thousands, it was extremely rare to see affluent and educated citizens of Kathmandu or Nepali-Americans as consumers of Nepali films. These trends are a result of both, internalized white supremacy as a legacy of European colonial history and India’s current imperial hold in South Asia. Nepali film posters symbolize an identity that often gets overshadowed in Nepali-American spaces either by new immigrants who are financially (more) privileged or by second/third generation immigrants who usually have more access to resources, as well as in Desi spaces by Indian representations and their narratives." - Neha Rayamajhi
