A major issue which always disturbs this columnist is the new terminology being debated in Nepal, i.e. the "Democratization of the Nepalese Army". I think this issue has always been misinterpreted by Nepalese think tanks. How can a neutral, completely apolitical, transparent and...

Likelihoods of derailing the ongoing Peace process have been heightened with the defraud Maoists' recent unpredicted calls for capital punishments and announcement of their program for periodic agitations across the Nation. Maoist...

Democratic Intervention in Nepal
Arjun Bishta
Envisioning of bizarre intrusion over a democratic Government in 21st Century may sense idiocy, but, Nepal instantly needs a real democratic intervention now. Eight Party coalitions is at the verge of collapse, Maoists still pretense power and hoar...

The old adage – "he who does not learn from history is destined to repeat it " – is particularly relevant in present day Nepal. Examples of the rise and fall of groups such as the Maoists abound in history. Although each is highly contextual, one cannot help but notice the man...

Psychologists believe that every biased viewpoint is first and foremost a reflection of some form of insecurity inherent in the character of the person or organization expressing it. Such deep rooted shortcomings often cloud one’s judgment and objectivity. They sometimes lead...

It is noticed that the Nepalese Maoists are surviving under tremendous mental weariness, exhaustion, fatigue fright, anxiety and fright. It seems that they are now hollowed under delusions where they dream of only ruling Nepal as per their total proletarian dictatorship only. Activit...

Bravo! Marvelous!! Well done Prachanda!!! Let's all congratulate and commend our Maoist leaders' ones again, because they have publicized their appreciation for their admired and accurate chameleon character by showing their suspicion and notions over the deal of their delicate and ...

Flexibility is universally considered a virtue for any organization. Unless of course, that flexibility is adopted for the explicit purpose of treachery. Sadly, the almost uncanny ability of the Nepali Maoists to adapt to ever changing dynamics and remain on top of every situa...

A snapshot of any newspaper on a given day portrays a bewildering picture of Maoist activity. Take 24 June 2007 and the Kathmandu Post for instance. The bold headline proclaiming that Lena Sundh "tells YCL to cease and desist" in the latest UNOHCHR report, is reinforced by th...

The Maoists has finally agreed to commence second phase of verification of their combatants following the release of allowances to the combatants by the government. It is indeed good news that the process of demobilization of combatants once again is on track. Now there are two importa...

The Maoists waged so called "people's war" in Nepal has cost many lives and damaged unaccountable amount of public and private properties. Following the success of "Janaandolan II", the truce is declared, but, widespread acts of terrorizing, such as killing, kidnapping, intimidation, ex...

Lenin came into power in 1918 after a bloody civil war, in between his supporters and the dissidents of Soviet regime. Lenin thought any defeat was beyond his imagination and to win war and shield his so-called "Revolution", he would go to every length-even at the cost of m...

It seems apparent that the governing stakeholders of the country are bound to be involved with the triflings and mess with the mandate of the people to build a peaceful and sovereign Nepal. It is very funny that a minister of the government goes on to make a derogative stat...

The attempt to hold elections to the ‘Constituent Assembly’ (CA) on June 20 of this year is taking on ridiculous and senseless forms. And even the discussion on the pros and cons of the CA at this point in time remain largely restricted to the leaders of the political p...

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 be...

To the victors belong the spoils. In the interim government, the Maoists, among their five cabinet portfolios, have bagged three particularly significant portfolios: Information and Communication; Local Development; and Women, Children and Social Welfare.

-The inevitable has now happened and the ‘interim’ government is now in place with the Maoists occupying key ministries. That alone is no great achievement, and it seems preposterous to proclaim "new era dawns on Nepal" (The Himalayan Times) or "Nation Takes a Leap" (The Kathmand...
