Yoshie directed us to this fascinating article on Nepal, but in this passage, I couldn't help thinking that "Birat" was a misspelling for "Borat":

"The Maoist movement had driven out the usurious moneylenders, but it was only in 2002 that a people's cooperative bank was formed "to help build the base of a socialist economy," according to bank manager comrade Birat, whom we met by chance one afternoon at a roadside teashop." http://monthlyreview.org:80/mrzine/md160307.html
