On page 154 in the book, The post-American World Dr. Zakaria mentions incorrectly that though Buddha was an Indian and Buddhism was born in India, there are no true Buddhists in that country.

Kapilavastu is the name of a region of ancient Shakya kingdom that is considered a holy pilgrimage place for Buddhists, located close to Lumbini. The result of years of excavation and research by numerous international teams have concluded that Kapilavastu is in Nepal and is acknowledged …

“We have no alternatives left but to take up arms again,” are the exact words that came out of Prachanda in Khalanga of Salyan district on Sunday. Someone who believes in change with the barrel of a gun over dialogue is definitely not right and one who believes in ruling with a gun is a terrorist. With such definition what is Prachanda trying to prove when he says, “take up arms again”. Planning to go back to the jungles gain? The country has already been pushed behind and the people …

Calling on all political parties to overcome their differences, Ban said: “Positions have hardened at the opposing ends of the …

The biggest joke of the decade is, Prachanda saying, that he is not safe in Nepal. Does this not sound like a joke? The guy who is provided security from the government as well as his terrorist organization says that he lacks security. If Prachanda is not secured then who is secured in Nepal? Logically, he is supposed to be under threat, cause he heads the biggest terrorist organization in the country but in reality, he is the most secured person in the country. Prachanda jee please stop making such …

When face to face ex-King Gyanendra in all his smiles greeted and asked Khanal “Is everything all right”? The ignorant as they all are, Khanal totally dumb folded preferred not to reply. The communist leader just shook his head as if he was telling the former king that everything was “well and fine” with him. It’s a matter of common sense that you greet anyone who greets …

A scholar Bishal Shah says from UNN, USA, 25 Dec.2009- ‘It is unfortunate that the Government of Nepal under Madhav Kumar Nepal decided to forward GP Koirala’s name for the Nobel Peace Award. We had a different plan that is sending someone’s name from the people’s …
