Just finished "What Elephants Know" by Eric Dinerstein. Leaves me with very mixed feelings: it's a novel in many ways about Nepal, and I don't doubt that the author's experience living there gives him a not-insignificant window into the culture, plus there are multiple people mentioned in the acknowledgements as judging faithfulness to Nepali culture. I myself have no direct connection to the country, nor enough knowledge to see any clear inaccuracies in the writing, nor ways in which it directly disrespects the culture.
That said, my instincts say this is a portrayal of the culture and country that probably elides much about the downsides of foreign influence and the monarchy (something I naturally distrust as an anarchist). At minimum, the internal contradiction is clear between the police as an inept and dangerous institution when encountered directly, but as a clean and unproblematic way to resolve problems with criminals when the Maroons subplot needs wrapping up. This is typical of neoliberals who have begun to acknowledge the most obvious problems with police but who refuse to admit the necessity of police abolition. Furthermore, there's a strong thread of white saviorism thrown in, and a big piece of meritocracy to go along with it. This story presents only highly particular fictionalized solutions to the real structural problems facing the elephants and other animals it describes, and the solutions it imagines require reliance on institutions which are in the real world fundamentally untrustworthy.
I enjoyed learning about the ecology of the Nepali borderlands, and about the cultures surrounding elephants there, plus some of the diversity of religions and cultures that interact in the area, and the story was satisfyingly written in terms of the main character's trials and responses to them, if I disregard the issues mentioned above.
If anyone has recommendations for novels in English (including via translation) by actual Nepali authors, I'd love to hear them, as I'll be looking for that perspective to balance this one.

Content warning: Climate catastrophe and direct action

Earth's futures can be divided into two categories: futures which support human life and those that don't.
The IPCC reports have avoided framing things this way, but burn enough fossil fuels quickly enough and you tip over into the later.
Note that this logic applies to any sub-region of the Earth too: some unknown number of years ago, thanks to ExxonMobil's sales of oil and duplicity about the known risks, the tipping point into "unlivable future" was crossed with respect to a segment of the Trishuli river in Nepal, and just this year that future was realized quite suddenly. In individual apartments across North America and Europe this summer thousands of people found themselves in unlivable futures due to heat waves, and millions more avoided that fate narrowly through the use of air conditioning which could well fail in future heat waves...
What the IPCC reports have been detailing for literally more than three decades is what it would take to tip things the other way. They report this in various forms, but usually at the level of how much CO2 emissions can be permitted on what schedule in order to prevent (locally-)unlivable futures (abstracted as a number of degrees of warming relative to a baseline).
The IPCC reports of emissions and mitigations can be translated into actions: what kind of policy would have to be enacted when by which government in order to avoid an unlivable future. In general however, hierarchical nation-states have proven collectively incapable of meeting *any* of these targets, and so indeed, translating emissions targets into policy actions is increasingly impossible, and has always been an improbable path towards survival. The longer nation states fail to meet the necessary emissions goals (or even accelerate oil drilling), the more drastic action is necessary. We can continue to talk about what kind of national policies might avoid unlivable futures, even as those futures are realized for more and more people, but national policies are not the only kinds of actions that can change the future. Fire example, a national policy shutting down an oil pipeline might avert a certain amount of emissions, but the pipeline owner could also shut it down themselves, or an activist could sabotage it, and the effect would be the same. Lots of different actors have different kinds of actions they can take to create similar effects, and it's the effects that are necessary to avoid unlivable futures.
Effectively, assuming that we will not wind up in a totally unlivable future, this leads to a principle of action substitution. We know what effects are necessary, and if nation states refuse to enact those via policies and companies likewise refuse to make any voluntary changes, then the only actions that remain to be taken are drastic direct actions. Simply put: the longer nations and corporations refuse to do anything to create livable futures, the more people will simply take direct action to achieve the needed carbon emissions reductions, because the alternative for them is death and that alternative is becoming clearer with each climate casualty, so it will be increasingly impossible to threaten them into giving up their lives for corporate profits.
