Kamal Thapa has enjoyed Nepali politics better comparatively speaking. He is the one for whom change in the political system of governance has made no difference in that in each and every “sponsored” change, Thapa is inside the power corridor.

He has played the role of game changer as well.

Other Panchas, if they were rejected by the champions of the last subsidized change, but yet they found in Thapa a close friend on whom trust could be reposed which is what has made Thapa a precious political commodity.

It was this “Imported” Change which did away with the Institution of Nepali Monarchy and the nation-state declared a Secular one.

This means that Kamal Thapa is preferred by all the political parties of Nepal which have a grand say in the national politics.

Above all, he is equally close to the now deposed King Gyanendra. Rumors have it that He remains no more in the good book of the former Nepal sovereign for the sidelined Monarch believes that, among the crowd of many political men, Thapa is at the top to have ignored the King when the latter needed his support most.

Interestingly, Kamal Thapa too has close proximity with the Indian Prime Minister Narendar Bhai Damodar Das Modi-popularly known as Chaiwala.

This explains his adjustability in any changes that comes or is designed for Nepal by some external forces.

Exploiting this masked image Thapa has very freshly vowed to restore the Hindu identity of Nepal making an announcement to this effect in Pokhara, August 10, wherein he said among others that “A National Awareness Movement” awaits the nation come February early next year.

(Perhaps he is losing his grips in the political market).

To put the record straight, Kamal Thapa has made such avowals time and again and has lured the people with his hollow promises only to be broken upon meeting his political ends.
However, this time Thapa appears more than determined in reinstating the Hindu order in the country to which he says that the Nation was forced to embrace secularism only due to the excessive pressure that was exerted by the Western Countries on the then political leaders to which the latter could not withstand.

Unconfirmed reports circulating in the political circuit is that for the establishment of Nepal as a Secular state, financial transactions were made but nobody has the exact knowledge as to which political leader then grabbed what amount?

The declaration of the Secular State must not have been a free of cost affair, it is widely believed.

“Hindu religion is Nepal’s Fundamental Religion of the State and thus such an order has to be restored, earlier the better”, Thapa declared.
While making such an announcement, Thapa made it clear that the secular order was not the choice of the people but instead it was imposed on the people by the present day rulers.

Since 1990, the word imposition has become very much popular in Nepal for reasons best known to India and India alone.

However, Thapa doesn’t divulge the name as to which leaders played trick with the Hindu identity of the nation?

Thapa has warned the government to restore the Hindu identity of the State much ahead of their National Awareness Movement beginning February next year or else face a fierce nationwide movement to be waged by his party.

In the meantime a new political development has happened in the country. From horses’ mouth, KB Rokaya who until the other day criticized Hindu religion and Monarchy starts toeing the opposite line.

He says Nepali sanctity and statehood cannot be preserved without reviving monarchy and Hinduism as the state religion.

And he adds, “Monarchy, Hinduism and Nepal Army have remained so far the three strong pillars of Nepali Statehood”.

Rokaya hints at the fact that these three pillars were still needed if Nepali State were to survive for long time to come.

Notably, Mr. KB Rokaya is a diehard Christian.

“We, the Christians were well preserved under the past regime, this is what I have started feeling lately after observing performances of the new order over these years”.

Perhaps Rokaya has made some point that demands attention from all sections of the society.
