Either amend the current constitution or revive 2047 constitution

Either amend the current constitution or revive 2047 constitution

One should not be surprised to learn that the Nepali Congress (NC) has decided to ask the Oli led government to pave the way for the formation of new coalition government under its premiership. That is how the Nepali politics works and has been going on in the same trend for decades. The people have seen and experienced most unproductive politics in their country during the last 15 years. Many unconstitutional moves were taken in the name of the peoples’ movement and 12 points agreement that was taken place in foreign land in between the then seven party alliance and Maoist. 

                                                               
The intra-party feud and the politics for power has been the crux of the national politics rather than for the national interest and the well-being of the common people. The level of institutionalized corruptions during the last fifteen years has been so high branding Nepal as one of the most corrupt countries in the South Asian region. None of the political culprits has been punished rather they have been shielded by the state. I have heard people blaming NC for its role in selling state owned industries in negligible values making thousands of people jobless.  
Having said all this, why doesn’t the NC convince other parties to go for the mid-term polls seeking fresh mandate of the people either under its leadership or supporting the Oli led government to hold early election? If the NC takes such bold and decisive actions, it is for sure the people will appreciate its role and might give it a landslide victory. Also, it would be life-long creditable and praiseworthy political move of the NC or whoever forms the next coalition government, to hold referendum on burning issues simultaneously with the elections. Otherwise, holding simply mid-term or early election would not be a favourable political solution considering the growing dissatisfaction of the people in the existing constitution and political structure of the nation.  
 
Another favourable option for the like-minded senior leaders of major political parties would be to take a conciliatory politics by taking bold steps of either amending the current constitution or revive the 2047 constitution that could accommodate the King, all the political parties, nationalists, pro-royalists and other disgruntled forces. Otherwise, sooner or later, the country might plunge into uncontrollable political mess and precarious social disharmony.

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...
