The issue about VP using Hindi while taking oath is going out of the bounds. This has to be stopped and logical discussion needs to be started.1. VP has committed legal crime, and needs to be penalized.This is not a question respecting or not respecting Hindi language. It is about following rules and regulations of the country. Hindi is not among the listed national languages of Nepal, and as per

Rights have been given to the Madhesi people. Both the President and Vice President are from the same community. This is in result of the Madhesi movement that happened after the fall of Monarchs led by MJF, and supported by all the Terai based parties.The movement went forward and Mr. Vice President went ahead taking oath in Hindi, where Hindi language is neither his mother tongue nor amongst

Maoist's candidates have lost both the President and Vice President posts in Nepal. This shows that Maoist are really raw for the parliamentary game. They have been played well by the old Nepal parties and sidelined.Maoist are seen as a lost power today. And they are going to be in opposition in coming govt too. But that can be a ideal position for Maoist to be to safe guard their long term

Newly formed Nepal government will have many challenges going forward and they will have to work actively and aggressively. It is challenging but not impossible.Here are my suggestions for the new Nepal Government.1. Integration to Global EconomyFree Trade Agreement with China, Japan and US to make the economy multi-lateral. This can be in-line with FTA with India.This should be accompanied with

Earlier, you read a post by Bhupendra, co-blogger of this blog about the implications that Maoists' win in Nepal can bring to India. He has tried his best to dispel the fear among Indians, and particularly, the fear of fundamental Hindus. Among many in India, these fundamentalists like BJP and RSS think that emergence of Maoists in Nepal is just a first step to make a corridor of Communists from

Now MJF has emerged as a major force and it is going to work closely with the Maoist to create Federal Nepal. These two parties believed to be opposing forces by two ways -- first, MJF is believed to be Royalists and Maoist to be Republicans; second, MJF is Pro-India and Maoist Pro-China.Well there are many arguments surrounding these hypotheses. They are unproved statements so I would prefer

As per the result declared so far in the CA Elections this time under FPTP system, all Madhesi Parties together has emerged as strong political force in Nepal. They have emerged as the single largest force after Maoist. This has been very much opposite to the general perception about Nepal.It is yet hard to predict how the exalted Madhesi leaders perform especially when they will have to work in

I have been hearing about Delhi's uneasiness about Nepal Maoist win. Delhi seem to have been overly attached with NC and UML in the past days and more than Maoist win, the two parties loss has been a greater headache. This always happens to any ally and has happened this time to all the NC and UML allies inside and outside Nepal.There was mistake on the part of India (China and US too) for not

I don't see Terrorism as any big problem to force us to be closed doors. And most of it is not targeted against each other. There are hardly any elements in Nepal who want to terrorize India and vice versa. The threat is about third country terrorists entering the duo, from Bangladesh or Pakistan. This calls for better understanding and co-operation between Indian and Nepali authorities. And

1. Maoist have done what several parties have tried for so long but have always comprimised for the leaders personal gains. I am talking about throwing Monarchy. Nepal never had democracy neither in 2007 or 2046. Now, we are atleast moving towards the right direction.2. Social Equality is another concern. Many dalits and janjatis were treated low, and I have seen them with my eyes. Maoist have

By ChamatkaribabaNepal has since long plunged into a state of anarchy because of the failures of democratic institutions. These failures were because of mainly two reasons:1) Because political leaders invested little time to save democratic institutions and;2) There were targeted actions from autocratic and regressive forces, more particularly to blame is King and his coterie.The second cause was

India was turned by the mass recruiters and trainers like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, IBM, Satyam and the likes.

The power majors are considering of huge investment in Hydropower sector to export power to the power hungry states of India and China, and this is a good news for Nepal.

I was surprised to see recent comment from Rajendra Mahato, leader of Nepal Sadhbhawana Party (Anandidevi) and Minister of Industry and Commerce. In his own words :'people of hill may live in Madhes only if they agree to be ruled by Madhesis.'This is one of the most irresponsible comment I had seen so far. And I know the source where it came from. His party is simply losing grounds to MPRF, MJF

Mr. Bhagat seems to be very deep into Nepali politics and he has written really good articles.Among them I got my attention to this article.Why Are The Pahadis Quiet?Well, I was quiet while Tarai was burning. There was a genuine struggle going on, there were criminal activities going on under its cover and there was State

I think, we are getting wrong from the very basic. I dont agree the Madhesias being discriminated. It is the normal nepali being discriminated in Nepal. It is all due to feudalism that existed for years.Nepal was a good place for the Ranas, Shahs, Pandays and Thapas, who had their representation in the government till Rana rule existed. After that Koiralas came and so do Adhikaris etc.. by virtue

Well, you may be laughing reading this topic, which is seen impossibility looking at the present context. You may call me over optimistic but i still argue that the vision is achievable. If a political solution for the Maoist problem is worked out then this goal will be a reality not a dream. Now, let’s analyze how far we are really from the framework.Firstly, i would like to make all Nepalese

Hi Bhupendra, I have kept it pretty simple and brief considering my time constraints. I hope it has some value. The first thing that comes to my mind about Nepal is the warm, friendly nature of the people. Nepalis can be found in just about every corner of India and their nature is all for you to see. Unlike people from a few other neighbouring nations(which I wouldn't like to name here), the

US has already chooses India to make a strong line US-Isreal-India-Japan line to control the whole world. It may benefit India in many terms but the path wont be so simple that it looks. When India is below a trillion $ country US may want India to develop but getting countries closer as enemies will have a ever-lasting influence. Look Cuba for US. India now has an option of choosing US-Japan

India must support Iran to defend its own position in the world scenerio. 1. Unlike Taliban, the present govt of Iran is a elected one. It has broad public support, and is committed to democratic rule . When Isreal talkes freely considering attack on the Iranian Nuclear sites like it did in the Iraq, then its normal for the Iran to comment on the destruction of Isreal. When Musharaf said of using

The message is clear Manmohan Singh govt is a weak govt which could not take on the US pressure and end up voting against Iran. The countries like Pakistan and Isreal are more prone to use the Nuclear weapon than Iran and Pakistan is more active in producing and financing terrorist activities across the world, says the same western analysts. The countries like North Korea and Iran has never been

There is no fixed rule to be culturally, economically and politically similar to form a Regional Economic Cooperation.After second world war the allied countries started pushing their products wherever they could. The other countries then reciprocated by applying import tariff and quotas. Then the developed/powerful countries went forward applying pressures to the developing ones, sometimes

Now Indo-Nepal relation is at a historic low. The royal takeover of all executive power in nepal without the indian consent has antagonised india more than the nepalese public. india is more concerned of Chinese involvement than the king and has applied every possible diplomatic pressure to the king but it has failed to do any major change. India has to well analyse whether the royal failure will

Nepal is a country between india and china, the fastest growing economies of the world. It is having free trade with india and is planning to have same with china also. Along with these oppertunities Nepal has a large pool of qualified engineers and technicians along with good numbers of management graduates ready to work for fairly low cost.Nepal is the second richest country in terms of water

Yesterday when i read the news of the inclusion of Afganistan as a member of SAARC and China and Japan getting observer status, i observed a change of mentality in the South-Asian governments. The poor group countries were the masters of finding excuses for not developing their state. They have never taken any remarkable step till date nor have solved any specific problem like Bhutanese Refugee

Nepal govt. has taken steps to develop nepal as a transit between India and Nepal which is similar to what Switzerland had done long back becoming transit between France and Germany. Nepal now has a direction and a vision for economic development.From Prithvi Narayan Shah to Sher Bahadur all has political visions, but all lacked economic vision for the country. This is what our country always

I from my childhood has been visiting Monastries of many places. I am a born hindu and am sure that never change my religion at any case and will ultimately die as hindu. But i like to visit Gurduara, Masjid and Church to know the diversity in the religious faith of people. I have been to those places several times and now i have almost same faith in any of these religious structures that i
