Nepal's Progressive Democracy: Achievement of Three Attempts

"I know I don't have food to eat, but I will lose my appetite if I am successful in snatching an "ordinary" person's meal and throwing it away; I will loot and eat, but I will make sure an ordinary person remains hungry". People around the world may find this mentality insane; however, this is the foundation of Nepal's democracy. The person who defined democracy, Abraham Lincoln, could never have imagined what his dream would invite. In my opinion, the people of Nepal have enjoyed more democracy than any other country, including the US and its founder, and the visionary Lincoln.
In the 70s and 80s, Nepal was one of the fastest growing economies of South Asia. People were enjoying the "peace" that Nepalese monarchy had established. We had the right to whatever we had imagined. In the late 80s and early 90s,--when I was a child-someone trying to steal from anyone's house was a national news; people used to get concerned about. The crime rate was almost negligible. People used to roam around anytime freely as they did not dear threat from anyone. Nepalese used to sing and dance with whatever they had and were satisfied with their life. There were songs of nationalism and patriotism. The poets wrote more about Nepal rather than love or life. We would sleep peacefully at night, not only in our own house, but everywhere. Then came the 90s, when the Indian national Girija was elected as the prime minister of Nepal. Even then, leaders had revolted for democracy, and Nepal got democracy the second time-the first being the downfall of Rana regime. No sooner had Nepal started to enjoy democracy, Girija started selling major hydropower projects to India. He even sold some sovereign land of Nepal to the Indians. From 1991, Girija and his cabinet explored various opportunities in corruption, crime, drug dealing, and making Nepal unstable. Fed up of these, the ordinary Nepalese were ready to revolt against the government. The Indians used this as an opportunity to destabilize Nepal and helped Maoists to fight against the state. We would see demonstrations everyday by the opposition parties. The most common slogan that I as a seven year old heard was "Jan Hatyaro Girija-Bharat tir Chirija" (killer Girija, go to India). This was Mr. Girija's reputation back in 1991 when I was growing up. Every day, the demonstration kept worsened.
In 1996, I witnessed the first corpse of a UML leader who was killed by Maoists. Ordinary people can never imagine how brutally a human can kill another human. I was thinking-animals in Nepal might be safer than the humans. Unfortunately, we could not disguise ourselves as an animal. Almost after ten years, we lost even our own family members in this war, and even at a greater degree of brutality than I had seen. The statistical report-with no record of degree of error-states Nepal lost about 13000 people in this civil war. For many, the war ended in 2006, but we all know that war has not ended. Earlier, the terrorists used to kill; now we have diplomatically replaced the "terrorists" with "YCL, Maoists, JTMM" or in their various synonyms. What could be more pity that no one dares to arrest these criminals? Shameless enough, the people who lost their family members ask the leader of the terrorists to beg for an apology. Any rationale person would fail to see why he-as the terrorist chief-is never indicted for instigating crime.
After losing 13000 people, some people go to shake their bloody hands. If any country is supporting a dictator/terrorist like Nepal Maoists and leaders, then may their country get the same type of leaders; this is what all Nepalese can wish and pray. I wonder how the world is seeing this stage as a progress of this country. Everyone is aware that Prachanda does not have any answer for the people whose family he killed. "Mr___, I know we killed your father, son, raped your daughter, wife and mother, but I also gave you the liberty to enjoy democracy", imagine the Maoist chief telling these words to ordinary citizens after he assumes power in Nepal government. Unless otherwise blessed with a "chicken's brain", any person with a "human brain" is well aware of Nepal's future.
Now that the King exited the palace without restraint, handful Nepalese enjoyed the scene. "Now he is at the same level; my house is better than his house; why did the crown prince wear good suits, why did he offer prayers to God, why did he speak, why is he in a better condition than me", questioned many to themselves. However, "I will not work hard to be like him, I will enjoy seeing him devastated", the same mind spoke.
We all Nepalese are garnered the Gurkha spirit, with a human brain which is no less than the King or the Crown Prince. With all this, you can also be a towering personality that the world praises you. You will feel happiness when the same monarch praises you, and you will feel proud to be what you have made by yourself. As the old proverb says, a father truly wins the day he is defeated by his own son. Laughing at someone who is richer than you, getting jealous of someone who is more respected than you, does not advance you; rather, it is an indication of devastation-the sooner you realize you are on the verge of it, change your belief. Now even after getting democracy the third time, common Nepalese are hungry yet again. Nothing has changed other than the greater degree of devastation, instability and terrorism. The excuse of "blame everything on King" is not applicable anymore and people are suffering more everyday. Even then, the leaders of Nepal proudly say "We are committed to Democracy"-a scenario that Lincoln never dreamed of.

nice article. heart touching. and of course base on reality of nepal.

this is the meaning of democracy in nepal:

i should be able to do anything i want because it is my inborn human right.

i should be able to disrupt anything you do because this is democracy.

anyways - insightful article but nothing we didn't know unless ofcourse you were among the "intelligent ignorants", who in their "progressive" minds think sikkim-isation is nothing conspiracy theory of monarch supporters and protests of VP taking oath in hindi wan an act of uneducated and ill-informed citizens.

One sided story..... The writer mentioned civil war... but labeled Maoist as Terrorist..... Writer said nepal lost 13000 people during the civil war. Did this mean only the Maoist party is responsible? To me King, little king Girija, NC party, UML, Maoist all were responsible for killing 13000 nepali.......

You know what's our problem? we always support or lobby or 'be puchhar' of someone, somebody or some party!!!!! this guys seems to be puchhar of the ex-king. we Nepalese almost never be ro don't want to be  independent, neutral.

I agree on the most points of the article. I enjoyed peace, I would go out 2am-3am. I was only feared of sanke at night. we were far better economically. But to see these days in my life not only Girija,  kings were also responsible. I agree Girija started this down fall. And of course Prachanda and Baburam is terrorists. Madave k Nepal is greedy bastered. can't believe him, he wanted to be president after loosing 2 constituency.

There were songs of nationalism and patriotism. The poets wrote more about Nepal rather than love or life that's not true most of National songs were made for King and Queen. Lot of money were spent on Royal families to visit 'Bikash Chetras'. I heard that, once Dipendra wanted 'bhaktapur ko Dahi', and one helicopter was chartered from Karnali zone to Bhaktapur just to get some 'Dahi'. This is rediculos.

Anyway, If somebody ask me today which era do you want? I would defenately say 2046 or before. I know its sad. but I rather live in peaceful life and give up some freedom. (only you couldn't talk bad about king then, everything were pretty much the same).

 

it is  a good article and based on reality. now we canot  get again that  peace and stable  status of  nepal   because todays all leaders are competiting   each other   only to becoem a greater indian agent.

Just keep batmouthing about India.  This is what Nepalis were born to do.

U all will soon become the citizens of India. Then I will see how you bicttch about us.

I agree Nepalese were taught to badmouth India by the leaders who themselves made deal with India.  Presently, Girjau acted like a baby wanting to get a "lollypoop" and all of a sudden wanted to go to SriLanka, even after his resignation was accepted. We know SAARC is not something more than "Photo-op" of Big Shark and little fishes....

Why would someone who would constantly need Oxygen tank, Oxygen masks like to go to Sri Lanka and that without consulting anyone (later he said "Sorry" for that...)). Why  ??? Why then???

Because he wanted to meet Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.  Girjau nearly boarded Indian PM's plane as his oxygen, soxygen went misplaced in the flight and having other problems reports Kantipur daily... He should have taken the ride in Indian Prime Ministers plane. Which would give him about 2-3 hours of time to talk with him. PM Singh would be in trouble if he had given ride to Girjau, cos our humble Girjau might as well take over his seat, send him to Nepal and become the PM of India. hahah...and we would be happy to find a brand new Prime Minister who is at least dedicated to his country.......

Our default PM is now in Delhi pilgrimage. He is going to various temples in 10 Janapath and various power centers. We know why right???

So why do you blame India. Conclusion, Nepalese are born to hate and criticize India.

article is based on fact.

and bihari, act like a human pls. don't always comment hypothetically. be realistic.

noone cares about india, let us find one alternative way (of course tibet, china) for gas/petrol, we will show what we could do

 

eka@l what fact are you taking about? you are slave of India because of the geographical location. Nepal is nothing without India.

madar chut dhoti,

sala british slave. kura garchas.  bahenchut sala.

tell ur government to close the border if u can. don't talk rubbish. 

if i ever see u, i'm gonna k$$l u, tust me

dude, u r contradicitng ur self, u said people revolted against the corrupted, incompetent, self interested, vulture natured leaders and their governance n again u said they r terrorist responsible for 13,000 deaths. at first place why would poeple rebel in any country without any reason?? there were many reasons for rebellion to grow in nepal if not in the form of maoist, it would hav erupted in any other form or ideologies sooner or later, nepal was hot bed. i dont beleive all that vague and fake natiolism propagated by the royals.

who actually imported huge amount of modern firearms and gunships, like, minimi GPMG, M 16, G 36, Galil, INSAS and increased the rate of killings when in fact all they were revolting for was restructuring of nation, contituent assembly and republic which r happening now. hypos, b realistic, nepal is multi cultured, multi ethnic country not only of royals or koiralas or dahals or nepals or sharmas or joshis or bhattarais, u name it...

'U' is directed towards the writer of the article...

bihari babu here you go,

barking dogs never bite

sala dhoti mero olo kha

here is a nice friendship day gift for you

"Then came the 90s, when the Indian national Girija was elected as the prime minister of Nepal. "

AND PLEASE DON"T TELL ME INDIA FORCED NEPALI PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR GIRIJA. or come up with some lame ass excuse to pin this on someone else. OUR NEPALI BHEDAAS WANTED CHANGE THEREFORE WE HAVE CHANGE.  IF OUR BHEEEEDAS DID NOT WANT CHANGE IN THE COUNTRY WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION WOULD WE ?
