This is definitely the revolution time. But going through the threads in sajha and following the news from Nepal, I have an impression that Nepal is having an identity crisis right now. The question has arose about who is the real nepali and who is not nepali. Nepal cannot be compared with USA or Canada or Australia where the majority of the residents are migrants in the recent century. Nepal was the common border for Kirats and the Aryans since ancient times. And, till this day, everybody was living in harmony with proper distribution of power and region. There were some elites in Kathmandu dealing with State matters and there were farmers in Tarai growing rice to feed the pahadis, pahadis were busy growing whatever they can in the every cultivable land they can find in the hills. It is not the mining, industries or anything that keep the people in hills surviving for this long. it was same with the people in Tarai, they grew food and sold that to get their other needs. but now, considering Gurungs, Kirats and others as janajati, Nepalese have indirectly accepted that Aryans were the intruders to the present Nepal. Though people do not know when the hill Aryans started existing in those lands, they are now considered to be the new comers, ie not indegenous to that land. As described in the above paragraph, most hill people do not know when and how they came to exist there. most of them were busy growing food for themselves, and not they are considered the new people. This has come with a shock to them. At the same time, the so called indegenous people are claiming the state power. their argument of being deprived of the state power is due to the hill aryans. this is totally a false statement because it is not all the hill aryans who controlled the state powers but the kathmandu people. elites in kathmandu enjoyed the state power, not others. And here is the crux, though they were only the elites in kathmandu who controlled the power from kathmandu, they were somehow able to maintain themselves as the central and unifying body for the people from every corner of Nepal. If you are up for the united Nepal, then there always need to be one unifying power, a common representative of all Nepalese. That personality/institution should be able to win the sentiments of all walks of life of Nepal. At present, every political leader is so biased or thought to be biased to one side, they are incapable of being an unifying power. Just take and example of Girija, he has done quite a good job lately, but do all people from every corner of nepal consider him as the unifying power? Does he get respect from kirats from the east and khas from the west? can he be acceptable as the leader by the Madhesis? or, can it be Prachanda? can he win the hearts of every Nepali? can he be the symbol of 'Nepali-pan'? can any other such figure stand as uninfluenced by the foreign powers? Can they represent the integrety and sovereignty of in their act? or, is their anybody in Nepal who takes nationalism beyond the his ethnic/regional level to the country level? If there can be anybody as unifying entity to stop the 'nationalism' confining to the ethnic and regional level to the country level, then I am up for it. But, I personally do not see anybody with such attributes other than 'monarchy'. Monarchy here not necessarily imply Gyanendra. It could Hridayandra, you or me.
