On several occasions international community has called ‘Flip-flopping Law Enforcement Tradition of Nepal’ the culture of impunity. What elements of society encourage the culture of impunity is the question perhaps nation’s ruling elites, responsible judiciary personalities and political leaderships are primarily ignoring it. It seems as if the culture is so deeply embedded in our daily socio-political and economic life that practice of impunity has become our one of the important survival tools. However, nation has failed to realize in every level that the democracy will not fly far with the culture of impunity. It will soon fall apart as it had been before and as it is now with the staggering socio-political and economic conflicts, which are the results of injustice basically caused by the practice of impunity.

Is Tibet geographically part of South Asia? If not then when socio-political and economic crises occur in Tibet troubles should not pour down on to the nations of the South Asia. Nevertheless, historically that is not true since 500 BCE after Siddhartha Gautama established his philosophy of Buddhism. In my view Buddhism is not the religion of faith or belief or superstition. On the contrary, it is a philosophy of religion, which can initiate a revolutionary process in an individual for his or her perceptional independence over the collective consciousness that he or she has been succumbed to as a member of certain tribe, race, group or nation.

Hyperbolism in teens’ world does not only imply exaggeration or overstatement of one’s idea about what things should be but also emotional over-expectation about what one should become. This is because teens like tall talks. For them to get engaged in serious empirical observation they have to grow up with emotional balance of their interior chemistries. Is this the stage of the most of the mainstream political and media leaderships of Nepal, who are departing from such hyperbolic developments? I would say yes unless news media have reported otherwise - just for their profit. (more…)

Neither it is enthusiastic nor euphemistic for people to have hope in constituent assembly elections if election campaign starts with out-dated and unnecessary tactics, political propaganda, dirty politics, lack of law and order, and practice of impunity that encourages violence. Failing to campaign CA elections with the objective to accomplish the mandate of people to create a new democratic Nepal will be disenfranchising people from the democratic process. Whatever is the political ideology of the contestant political parties or of the participant electorates in the CA elections should not be the matter at all. Even the landslide victory of a single political party cannot overrule the mandate of people for democracy. (more…)

The eight-point agreement between SPA government of Nepal and United Madhesi Democratic Front (UMDF) is historic because it has sensibly ascertained the constitutional provision for the federal democratic republic establishment through the electoral mandate of CA elections. Moreover, the agreement has guaranteed the federal republican state on the basis of regional and historical background of ethnicity and linguistics with the right to self-determination. It is needless to make therefore assertion or dissertation about the institution of feudal monarchy at this point in time in the contemporary politics of Nepal. But it is absolutely necessary to abolish its entire feudal system in the workings of government for the sake of proportional socio-political and economic developments of all people of all communities of Nepal.

Ethnicity of humanity has genetic, environmental, cultural and linguistic existence in the evolution of human developments. Unlike religious and political propaganda that misrepresent humanity ethnicity has its existential values in relation with the human existence. That is to say, that with the ethnicity humanity has developed to this point in evolution. Since the Middle Ages the politics and religion have tried to homogenize diverse ethnicities and attempted to wipe out their identities from the socio-political and economic developments. This is exactly what happened in two hundred and fifty years’ Hindu feudal oligarchic regime. (more…)

People’s Movement II has clearly defined the power limitation of SPA leaderships, the interim government and the interim Parliament. Declaration of secular democratic state, abolition of the monarchy, establishment of the democratic republic setup, and restructuring of the state are the mandates of People’s Movement II given to the above state entities until the accomplishment of CA elections. The primary objective of SPA leaderships and the government is to establish peace and democracy with the successful CA elections that can setup fundamental institutions of democracy. Clearly they have neither people’s mandate nor constitutional power nor historical evidence to declare Madhes “An autonomous State with regional autonomy.” (more…)

The current democratic process is about to slip away with an extremist demand of Madheshi movements. The demand at this climax is not the one as originally sought for an autonomous Terai state with the right to self-governance and right to self-determination under the federal system structures. However, it is the demand that has been convoluted wishfully beyond the norms of federalism that can violate the national integrity. The demand for an ‘Autonomous Madheshi Region’ literally schemes to separate itself from entire nation as if aliens such as extraterritorial other than Madheshi have ruled the region. None of the other forty one ethnic groups including dominant “Khash-Pahadi” communities must back-up from defending their existence before it makes way by dismantling Nepal’s historical nationhood.

One of the most crucial challenges that the national CA elections have confronted at this point is from the demands of both United Democratic Madheshi Front (UDMF) and Federal Republic National Front (FRNF). If the crisis is not dealt with mutual understanding for the national unity the demands might turn themselves into violent threats against people’s right to vote in CA elections. The principal demands are clear and forward – establishment of federal democratic republic, full proportional representation electoral system for CA elections based on population, and guarantee of federal republican state on the basis of regional and historical background of ethnicity and linguistics with the right to self-determination.

Feudalism was imposed arbitrarily upon humanity with the set of beliefs and practices of the dominant tribe or caste or class of people on hereditary basis in the socio-political and economic evolution of the society. Later in Middle Ages its practice was sustained by religion and its propaganda. That is still exists in South Asian socio-political and economic lives of people dominantly. Even the most versed and educated upper caste ruling elites of South Asia take such propaganda unquestionably as their tradition no matter how it marginalizes other people – women, indigenous, and Dallits (Hindu’s lower caste) population – from the socio-political and economic developments.
