@ Shantipriya,



It seems I was unable to make you understand my points. I never said this 20 - year- long democratic system which we have in our country now is better than the panchayati system we had in the past.



I again repeat my point here, Nepalese people supported political parties and leaders against the monarchy with the hope that these political parties and their leaders will transform our country into developed country; with the hope that there will be no poverty in the country; with the hope that there will be no uneducated and unhealthy person in the country. But it didn't happen.



What is the cause then? For me it is because we couldn't chose the right person, couldn't chose the right party to lead the country. Why we couldn't chose the right political party or right leader? Because most of us are uneducated and even educated we act like we don't have brain, we can't differentiate between white and black. We believe on everything these political parties feed us. For their sake, we are even ready to differentiate each other in the name of caste, religion, ethnicity and act like enemy. I feel pity on those educated-slaves, people working under the most corrupt and unqualified woman in the world, Sujata Koirala; people working under the mass murderer, Prachanda.



Or may be we still don't have any right person born in the country to lead us towards our expectations.



I don't disagree with you that the overall condition of country is way worser that it was during panchayati era but you can't say there was nothing wrong during that panchyati era either. The difference is that there was a single family and group related with that family doing all the wrong things. But now we have many political parties, their workers, their relatives to break the rules and regulations of country, to do the corruption, to threat the general public. You are right about DP Lama and Bharat Gurung but you didn't mention about Dhirendra who devoted himself to turn all our temples empty. Again, I am not trying to defend this multiparty system here. My point is there used to bad things also in that panchayati era.



I don't say that Bansbari Chala Juttaa, Trolley Bus, Sajha Yatayat, Nepal Airlines were unnecessary for us and unsustainable. These were definitely ruined by political parties and their leaders. And the process is still going on, we can see how they are sucking NOC, NEA, NTC and several other government and public organizations.



But I disagree with people who say that we need to run all types of industries in our own country and supply all our necessities in the name of patriotism. If you want to get cheaper things, you can't beat India and China. So forget about producing all supplies in our own country. First we need to identify our resources and limitation. I don't think there will be any better industry than tourism in Nepal.



You have all rights to say that our country was in better condition during panchayati era than now. But what next? Our country is not going to better just by saying that, is it? If you are not happy with this existing political situation either you have to be proponent of that old panchayati system or you have to look forward for improved multiparty system. And I will choose the second option. Sooner or later the power will be in people. This is an iterative process. If you and I really want to clean this system then we have to get involved. Otherwise, the better way to contribute the nation is just by contributing our own work.
