is that Parvati in the brown jacket?

Yes, awesome pics!
Even just getting english translations of the slogans printed on the posters and banners would be great.

Would also be good to have video footage of this demo, with the music, dancing, etc. Collecting lots of video footage can be the basis for a documentary, along the lines of the “People of the Shinning Path” which played a good role in its time.

Monthly Review on Parvati in 2003:
“And a thesis of immense power and importance is advanced: that the bureaucratic degeneration (and consequent counter-revolution) within the Soviet system and the failure of the Cultural Revolution (and consequent turn to capitalist social relations) in China have one cause in common – the failure of the respective movements to address properly in practice the question of gender oppression and women’s leadership. Comrade Parvati’s own voice now rings through clear as a bell, and it is, we believe, well worth your attention.”
This is worth reading.

On Parvati-
Her books are simply some of the best literature out their on Nepals Revolution. They are hard to find, i only easily found them in Nepal, but they are truly fantastic.
