Nepalese democratic exercise faced the black period in between 2005-2009. During the period, Nepalese people tolerated the worst political practice made by corrupt leaders. The nation achieved the climaxed height of the lawlessness, theft, robbery, ransom and murders. The corruption is out of control. Nobody is responsible to control the corruption. A corrupt tendency has been institutionalizing as a system. Several constitutional authorities including the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and the administrative mechanism have been paralyzed. The security forces themselves remain demoralized. Nobody can trust on these culprit leaders. Though freedom of speech is one of the basic pillars of democracy, no one is free to speak and write critically in true sense. Experiences are the proofs to reveal that all the political leaders invested their time and energy just for power and to accumulate big chunk of money, land, home and expensive vehicles. Their amassed properties in the name of democracy are hidden in different banks, lands, big houses and business. They are beyond the reality that the people might be fooled for a moment with the political dishonesty, but not for ever. Democracy has been abused as a ladder for power by the anti-nationalist political leaders.

Nepal is passing through the most dangerous times in history. Government has two mechanisms: political & administrative, which ultimately manage and deliver service to the public by mobilizing the resources of the country. The trained human resources in the administration are becoming defunct. But, in Nepal the government is not accountable towards the people. Nepalese people are divided in many groups due to communal slogans and ethic-based federalism put by the corrupted leaders of Nepal. ‘Unity among the diversities’ is the theme of Nepalese nationalism. People of different geographical regions via plains, hills and high mountains have their respective cultural identities which reflect the united nationality of Nepal.

The history of human civilization is the history of co-existence and co-operation. But, what is happening in Nepal? Can Nepal achieve the peace, unity & prosperity with such destructive and criminal activities? It is a matter of grief that a group of Nepalese community started killing others. Is it liberation and democracy? Nepal has been losing and abolishing its political, cultural and sovereign existence since 2005. Since last three years, the Nepalese people are being divided ethnically. The Maoist model of federalism (agenda of Indian), which is based on ethnicity, can disintegrate unity of the country. The racial federalism can never develop the norms of democracy but creates racial conflicts. Why is every community demanding an autonomous state for their own? The demand for the autonomous states will be the suicidal agenda for all. The chaos, instability and insecurity are institutionalized. Isn’t it happening with the hints of foreigners?

In 1950 AD, King Tribhuvan was forced to speak of conducting CA elections in Delhi with Indian interest. But later on, as the conspiracy of India was understood, King Tribhuvan and the Nepalese patriots denied CA election. Even after 58 years, still Indians succeeded in conducting CA election. And now, they are being active to capture the political power by their elected and selected CA members who are puppets of the parties and foreigners. Anti-nationalistic and dictatorial elements like former PMs Girija Prasad, Maoist leader Prachandra and PM Madhab Nepal the puppets of India themselves invited the intervention of India. The Delhi based 12 points’ unholy allience-2005 has been hampering the Nepalese unity & prestige of Nepal. After the resignation of the Maoist PM Prachanda, the most opportunist and puppet of India, Madhab Nepal of UML has been chosen as PM, by the hints of foreigners. The power struggles inside the Congress, UML, Madhesis are not to strengthen the country & democracy.

Nepal has always shown goodwill towards India. But the Indian intention is quite suspicious no matter the co-operations between two countries. India professes one thing and acts contrary to it which always gives a room to suspect its role. Nepal shares 1,880 kilometres of open border with India. It has over the years built numerous structures in the vicinity of no man’s land which is against the international norms. The activities are adversely affecting the Nepali people living in those areas. Thousands of hectares of fertile Nepali land have been submersed and waterlogged by the embankments. We need to maintain friendly relations with India due to our similar cultural and religious traditions. But sadly, Indian government is going to destabilize Nepal through its Nepalese culprits party leaders who are going to push the country into disarray.

Political analyst I.K. Pradhan says - Culprit party leaders involved in running the affairs of the country, remain dumbfounded, seeing the broad day-light expansion tic aggression into one’s own soil. They are engrossed, in this political gamble, rather than being intimately concerned with what the people and country expect from them? The pills of this bitter truth must be swallowed by each and all. If state, governance, parties, leaderships fail to put things right, there can be no alternative than for the people themselves, to decisively arise in total unity, against the persistency of decaying politics of Nepal, and meet the onslaughts of undesirable, destabilizing, ravaging against the sanctity of the national soil and the country and people’s independence.

In this context, Kalyan Dev Bhattarai, a Nepalese scholar, aggressively says: “The political activities of these so-called leaders of the country is taking the country to that point where the Nepalese people will have no choice but to be force to start revolution where the tire will be not burnt in every corner of the country but these so-called leaders will be burnt alive.’ (www.nepalhorizons.com) Because people are sensitive enough to distinguish the cow and the donkey.  ‘Crows are never the white for washing’.

The Nepalese people are reluctant to live under the shadow of guns, rather they want peace. They want relief from the drudge of their lives. UNMIN have been very irresponsible and they, following the hints of India, are bent on making this country a ‘failed state’. It is a matter of deep regret that the UN representatives, American ambassador, European Union an others have made a great mistake in supporting the republic, secularism, interim constitution, so-called interim parliament and the council of minister. Opposing attempt to abolish monarchy that has remained the basis of this country assessment of the geography, geo-political situation and ethnic sensitivity for so long and to try to establish a federal state based on ethnicity indicates the bad omen of the break-up of the country. The despotic leaders and Nepali Congress, UML and the Maoist party has no right to sink this country. Nepal is a land-locked country between the two power giants- China & India and multi-ethnic nation where no group is in majority, but the Nepalese monarchy can get only along with people of all regions and ethnic backgrounds irrespective of their culture, language, political affiliations and caste. Therefore, there is no alternate that all the nationalist forces including the King should protect the country.
