Koirala family


Koirala family is one of the important political families of Nepal in the Republican Era. The family was founded by Krishna Prasad Koirala, a Rana Era socio-political activist who was exiled to Bihar, India by then Prime Minister Maharaja Chandra Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana. Many of the family members have remained prominent figures in the Nepali Congress party since the country's first democratic movement. Four members, three of them brothers and their maternal cousin Sushil Koirala, have been Prime Minister of Nepal. Some members who do not have political aspirations have gone on to become prominent members in Nepali society making substantial personal contributions in the professions, the arts, academia, and the media as Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala.
Koirala family were original inhabitants of Dumja village, Sindhuli district belonging to the Hill-Brahmin caste.
