Only blame game rife

All the major political parties of new Nepal have been widely exposed because of their inter and intra-party factional politics thus severely  hampering the peace process and drafting of new constitution that are to be completed by the end of the extended three months time in accordance with five-point deal. Maoist senior leaders seem pretty busy in blaming and undermining each other in the name of people’s war as reported in “Baidya-Bhattarai camp busy flexing muscles” (THT, July 13, Page 1). Likewise, the Nepali Congress (NC) senior leaders’ bid to lead the next government is heating up as reported in “Congress statue allows PP leader change: Singh” (THT, July 13, Page 5). Also, the UML’s internal feud has heated up for quite some time.


Looking closely at their irresponsible and insensible acts, it does not seem that they would be able to complete the people’s mandated tasks by the dead-line. The current fragile political situation of Nepal demands coordinated and collaborative effort among all the political parties in and outside CA, especially the so called the Big Three and United Madhes Front parties. They should forge consensus on national issues. Thus the chances of loosing their legitimacy as the peoples representatives in the CA seem unavoidable.


Furthermore, if they do not abandon their egoistic and self-centred politics, and rise above their petty politics, there is for sure, the ongoing political game may disastrously end inviting political, social and economic chaos in the nation. If that did happen, the country could plunge deeply into vicious circle making itself a vulnerable state that would be prone to disintegration. The deadline is approaching fast. Time has come for Big Three to sincerely and responsibly act and implement five-point deal without delay.

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

Self-immolation—the act of setting oneself on fire—is one of the most extreme, painful, and lethal forms of self-harm and suicide. Globally, it represents a profound intersection of psychiatric distress, intense social strain, and political expression. Causes of Self-Immolation: The underlying motivations for self-immolation vary significantly across different regions, cultures, and socioeconomic demographics. ·      Political and Ideological Protest: In Western nations and certain East Asian histories, self-immolation is highly associated with political statement . Individuals use it as a highly visible, shocking public act to draw attention to perceived systemic injustices, war, or government policy. ·      Severe Psychiatric Illness: Globally, a vast majority of individuals who attempt self-immolation suffer from severe, often untreated mental health conditions. The most common diagnoses include major depressive disorder , schizophren...

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously

  Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously The people are tired of politicians who make wonderful promises but have miserably failed to fulfill their rosy promises. As a result, they seem to be gradually losing their credibility by days. However, having said that, the level of political awareness among the majority number of the people is still low which has been the advantage for the politicians to lure them towards their irresponsible and dirty politics. In the recent past weeks, we saw thousands of innocent people out in the streets to cheer up the so-called senior leaders who have miserably failed to lead the nation. We can see now the senior leaders and their parties are busy in forming another coalition government following the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the unification of NCP a few days ago thus splitting the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist. It was, in fact, a huge legal blow to them. This situation has created another political chaos in the country which might in...

A Legend Falls: Remembering Mountaineering Icon Nirmal Purja

The mountaineering world has lost one of its brightest, most unstoppable lights. It is with a profoundly heavy heart that I wish to express my profound grief over the tragic passing of Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja, who lost his life alongside his brave crew in a devastating avalanche on Broad Peak, Pakistan. To say Nimsdai was a legend is an understatement. He was a force of nature who redefined the absolute limits of human endurance and capability. From shattering world records by climbing all 14 of the world’s highest peaks in just six months, to leading the historic first winter ascent of K2, he showed the world that "nothing is impossible." More importantly, he brought long-overdue pride, global recognition, and respect to the Nepali climbing and Sherpa community. Nims now rests eternally among the giant peaks he loved and conquered so fiercely. His fearless spirit, boundless energy, and ultimate motto—"Giving up is not in the blood"—will live on forever in the h...
