Who am I? A corrupt politician or a coward citizen

 

 Who am I? A corrupt politician or a coward citizen

I am not so sure about others who are hell-bent towards political parties and their leaders, could be for their personal interests and benefits. There were and are some leaders in all the major political parties whom I happened to be either their college friends, working friends or relatives. During my college time, I was repeatedly asked and pushed to get involved in the then students union. For some known and unknown reasons, I never wanted to be directly involved in politics. Could be, my subconscious mind did not allow me to step into politics. I see these days some of my politician college friends, working friends and politician relatives enjoying their luxurious life styles. On the other side, I see the majority of the people are struggling to make their both ends meet.  I find myself in between them.

If I had joined the politics, I would be nowhere because of my emotional behaviour and lack of insincerity. I would not be able to drag myself into the group of corrupt politicians and ignore the plight and distress of the common people. When I look into our political parties and their leaders and their wrong doings, I get angry myself and wish I could come out to the streets and shout at the corrupt leaders for their irresponsible acts and punish them lawfully for their crimes which I cannot imagine to do so. This helpless situation of mine is hunting me most of the time and making me a helpless person who just looks at the people in the streets who are badly struggling to live a dignified life.  

But, on the other hand, the state has been a reckless state due to the poor governance of the ruling party. People are dying of hunger and committing suicide due to pandemic. Until now, the government has not brought up any relief package program for these people who have either lost their jobs or businesses. Instead, they are engaged in reckless internal political feud undermining national and people’s interests. I am worried what happens if the tolerance level of the common people will exceed its limit and burst out at the streets. I still hope that the ruling party and the government will timely realize, behave responsibly, listen to the people’s plight and act accordingly.

Between a rock and a hard place: Dahal has a choice to make between siding with Oli or Nepal
 

Pushpa Kamal Dahal is in a fix. He owes one to Madhav Kumar Nepal. But he will have to return the favour without upsetting KP Sharma Oli.

Earlier this week it was only after seven provincial lawmakers from the faction belonging to senior party leader Madhav Kumar Nepal withdrew their support to a no-confidence motion against him that Karnali Province Chief Minister Mahendra Bahadur Shahi, and a protege of party co-chair Dahal, was able to save his chair.

The political maneuverings played out in Karnali Province may largely be over except for some provincial positions to be settled, but the larger ramifications are that the balance of power within the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) has been more visible.

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.

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...
