Nepal: Maoist winning political game

Opposition parties are 'doing their duty' of 'pressurizing' the government to take back that decision. As a result, the elusive 'peace process' has been stalled. 'Constitution making' too is not making any visible headway. 'Major' parties blame each other for not doing the desired, and agreed upon, tasks. Opposition parties are disrupting the House proceedings as usual.

New Nepal or no Nepal?

Can we forget Bhimsen Thapa? Can we ignore the contributions made by Bise Nagarchi-the one who was excessively close to the unifier of this nation? Similarly, can we forget the one who made Nepal? He fought a war and expanded the territory of this country which is today’s Nepal.

Nepal: Former Army Chief Katawal speaks

However, some intelligent brains in Kathmandu still remember his clandestine linkages with the then Indian CoAS, Deepak Kapoor, who in effect put extra pressure on his government and finally forced Nepal President to intervene into the Nepali affairs. By the way, General Kapoor and Mr. Katawal studied together in Dehradun School of defense. This perhaps explains the rest. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
