Background and Establishment
Despite Nepal being a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious, and multi-cultural nation, indigenous nationalities have historically faced marginalization and threats to their cultural identity. In this context, the Tamang community living in Japan felt the urgent need for a unified, organized, and institutional platform.
To address this need, Nepal Tamang Society Japan was established with the primary goal of safeguarding the unique Tamang language, script, culture, religion, history, and traditions, while also advocating for the rights, dignity, and social advancement of the community.
