The Communist Party of Nepal- Maoist’s unanticipated landslide victory in the CA polls conducted on April 10 rang bell not only in South […]

April 13 - Vote Count - proceeding full on.
Constituent Assembly Elections April 10, 2008.Current Prime Minister Girija Prashad Koirala must have used his insight (or intuition) to have registered his candidacy in the Proportional Representation System of the CA elections, not for the First-Past-The-Post sytem.
Prime Minister Girija Prashad Koirala was doing OK. People forgot his […]

While watching a TV commercial some days back, i saw a handicapped lady going to vote in her wheelchair in rain. The commercial was giving the message that everyone should fulfill their own responsibility. That means, voter should vote and government should ensure basic needs of it’s people. We are also at final stage of […]

Nepal is declared a Federal Republic. The way the declaration has come is a complete non-sense. This is the only move to allow the Maoists to rejoin the coalition government. The King’s status has not changed a bit since the last declaration we had when the interim parliament stamped the interim constitution. Gyanendra is still […]

Just a week before, Girija was lauding unequivocally that constituent assembly (CA) election would be held on November 22nd. His cabinet ministers and party workers were mimicking him A to Z in that regard. A week after, Girija disappeared like a mouse and news came out that CA election had been postponed. What a joke! […]

Today Sep 18, 2007 meeting with eight party and Maoist with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koriala at Baluwatar was held.

After a more than decade long underground struggle, what have I achieved? I know the people’s revolution which sidelined the King was not something I led even if I am saying otherwise officially. That was general people - without any political affiliation - tired of atrocities of my party and sick of absolute monarchy - […]

People alienated from society on grounds of ideological indoctrination escape the mainstream, turning into noncommittal, introverted personalities. They exchange denial with beliefs of conceived utopia that they regard as panacea for all ills inflicting society. In due course of voluntary reclusion, their ideological stronghold turns into ideological imprisonment and the personalities find all means justifiable […]

We all know that the federal and unitary systems are the types of democracy and each system has its own merits and demerits. However, we have to go for our country-suited democratic system where all people can enjoy their equitable democratic rights with dignity and opportunity.
Federalism also refers to as federal government, a national or […]

Do boundaries really exist? Or are they just imaginary peripheries created by us to stay close to our so-called community, well-wishers and friends?

Dear fellow patriots; Namaste!! Once again, we are calling on all fellow patriots to pay immediate attention to our country’s grave and deteriorating situation. Unless we act now with utmost urgency, it may prove to be too late. The specter and horror of forever losing our beautiful nation to the dust-heap of history has become […]

A breakthrough in the peace process has now been happened with the formation of interim government on April 1, 2007. Now, we have a new team of 24 ministers consisting two full ministers and one state minister as women ministers with an additional strength of Maoist.
The uncertainty and uproarious political drama was swathed up but […]

Who would have thought that at 84, Girija still has enough sex appeal to seduce all the major parties, including the excessively macho Maoists. But no doubt he does. After several rounds of courting at Baluwataar, Prachanda was fawning and Madav Nepal drooling. They rubbed their hands like lecherous men and nodded to everything our […]
