Enough bickering and bad news. Day after day we have to hear how corrupt our officials are and how inept the government is. There have to be some diamonds in this coal mine, this post is dedicated to the select few HEROES of NEPAL that we should be proud of. This thread is a way to shine some light into what they are doing for the country.

Post a news/article about a person who is doing good for the community; not social worker but a professional who is doing what he/she is suppose to do.

Please share and give us some hopes.

I will start. My all time favorite: RAMESH KHAREL.

‘Do for nation’

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Stiffler,

I am pleasantly surprized to see you start this thread on sajha.

Instead of envying and feeling threatened by other people's success,  taking the time to admire their accomplishments takes a lot of
personal security. It is a quality that very few Nepalese have.
Very few Nepalese that I know have the personal confidence to respect and admire other Nepalese for doing things that they themselves have not accomplished. 
Most Nepalese that I know are envying other people's success and trying to find some way to put them down. A lot of Nepalese that I know feel gleeful when the successful 'heroes' of our nation fall down.

It's good to know that not all Nepalese are like that. Thanks for starting this thread!

 stiffler,
do for nation ...  very pleasing news!!

Thanks for the kind words but the heroes are the ones who should be glorified.

I know many Nepalese don’t see a future in Nepal; not because of the country and its landlocked state but because of the people. Leaders are a natural extension of people (unless it’s a dictatorship) and if the people are corrupt, so will the leaders be. I don’t think I will have much of an argument if I blame the present condition of Nepal to the people, ourselves.

We are bhedas; we can’t protest against the fact that a high school drop out is leading our esteemed civil aviation department (NAC), we don’t care if CIAA cannot prosecute against leaders and we put a deaf ear when good people get transferred/sent out; but when Rhitik says a bad word we are on the streets. When, the leaders call us for Nepal bandh, we comply.

We are corrupt, when was the last time when you went to Nepal and tried to do something w/o getting an assistance from somebody in a higher-up position that is your aquaintance? We will be discussing about how corrupt our leaders are in a line at airport while waiting to see when our DSP friend will come and rescue us from having to be in the line.

Bringing in a constituion won’t do jack unless we change the people’s mentality.
But with all this, do I see any ray of hope? I sure do and I am seeing it more now; hence I thought we need to start this thread. My follow up posting will share why I thought of it.

What hope you ask?

Well for one, our condition is improving. Constitution can’t guarantee many things but if people have enough awareness, constitution will help.

In my last visit to Nepal, I was talking to a random kid in restaurant. I forgot the context but I asked him if he knew Nepali national anthem. He did, atleast the first 4 lines. I asked him if he would stand up if it’s played, he said he will if it’s played in a stadium setting. That might not mean a lot to most, but to me that gave me a sack full of hope.

I haven’t followed up too much on the facebook Nepal group and I am not sure if the people are really coming because they care about Nepal or they just thought it was cool to do so; heck other countries are doing it right? But I was pleasantly surprised when all the Kathmanduites rallied up to protest against the indefinite Nepal bandh called in by Maoists and showed all the political parties in the country that people are the most powerful entity in the country, not these parties.

I smile when I see public officials like Rameshwor Khanal (ex Finance secretary) and justice like Bala Ram KC. They give me a hope, specially after cringing from the sights of the corrupt leaders like Bharat Mohan, Sujata etc etc.

These people should be commended for the job they are doing; we need to acknowledge that there deeds won’t go un-noticed. Khanal, KC and Kharel (three Ks) are no longer serving in their original position (Kharel got transferred from KTM, KC had mandatory retirement), partly because of the pressure from the corrupt ones. We gotta support them and make them our real IDOL , real HEROES so more would come.

This post is a humble beginning. I wanted to dedicate an entire website for recognizing them (based upon the input from visitors) but what best place for exposure than SAJHA?
Help recognize these Heroes who give us hope.

This is very encouraging stuff. The related videos on the left side is showing anuradha koirala who is also a hero.

 definitely...hope is shimmering in the distance...we are closing towards it...inch by inch..in upcoming days im positive that we will see many more other heroes..who will each, lead with a  torch!!!

Stiffler that is a great idea!

If there is a "Heroes of Nepal" website being put up by someone who knows what they were doing, I would be happy to donate some money towards it. I love the idea of a "Hall of Fame" for Nepal. Let me know how I can contribute monetarily or otherwise.

-- Sunil Babu Pant --

A Belarus-educated computer engineer, the first openly gay lawmaker of Nepal, the first person to organize and establish an official organization to fight for sexual minorities in Nepal: these and many other attributes characterize 37 year old Sunil Babu Pant who not only represents sexual minorities of Nepal but who is also a proactive young CA member. Born and educated in Gorkha, it was only some 13 years ago he confirmed his identity as a third gender person. Since then he founded and is the current President of the Blue Diamond Society (BDS) which works with local communities and on a national level to improve the sexual health, human rights and well being of sexual minorities in Nepal. The BDS is the only organization of its kind in Nepal.
