Contexte culturel

In Kathmandu, 'Bindas' is a badge of coolness. It represents a break from the 'Maryada' (strict social rules) of the older generation. The word entered Nepali through Hindi cinema. It carries the 'heroic' vibe of 90s Mumbai actors. Being 'Bindas' is often a coping mechanism for the daily struggles of life in Nepal, like power cuts or traffic. The hashtag #Bindas is one of the most popular among Nepali Instagram and TikTok users to show a relaxed lifestyle.
