Does Nepal need ethnic state?
- A big no.
How about the state system (federalism based on geography, etc.)?
- A big no.
Can ethnic or geographical state solve the problems they're seeking?
- A big no.
Federalism, be it based on geography or ethnicity will add more number of jobs only to already corrupted fat politicans and won't do much for the upliftment of the poor nepalese. This is the illuson that maoists have succeeded in selling, and everyone including janjatis and brahmin chhetris have fallen into. Federalism will add more conflicts about sharing of power and resources, and demarcation of boundaries. Nepal is not in a state or ready to solve any of these problems yet. Nepal will get poorer. Even after making a federal state, the state heads will probably choose to spend most of their time in Kathmandu, rather than their poorer states.
Nepal need decentralisation, and federalism might be a solution theoretically, but in the present context of chaos, it is merely illusion and will add more problems. Rather they should allocate more funds to these poorer districts or development zones. People in places such as far-western region are really behind the rest of Nepal and the world, and the central government have always neglected them. Politicans who get elected from these regions such as Deuba, Pashupati Shamsher Rana should be ashamed of themselves. They never cared the place where they got elected from or where they were born. I've heard somewhere, Deuba's village doesn't even have a bridge to cross the river.
How come madhesis talk about one madhesh state and protest only when they're in opposition. They never protest when they're in the government. The same corrupted people leading these ethnic or whatever geographical states won't lead the development of these states.
Problem of Aadibasi
Janjatis (excluding brahmin, chhetris) probably feel that they're being ignored. Most of people are unemployed and all the frustrations probably come out when they come to street to protest. A mob mentality is very dangerous. But more so is the most corrupted and war-criminal leading and calling for these protests - Prachanda.
The fire has already been started. It's not going to be easy to extinguish it. Reservation system is not good in the long run and is not fair for the hard-working people. But in the present scenario, reservation is probably one of the possibility to make the things inclusive; but it shouldn't be FOREVER. My opinion - probably 5-10 years. Some people like Aangkaji sherpa has probably forgotten what they have started fighting for, and are following Prachanda like dogs. Ofcourse, there are very poor people inside every ethnicity; so the reservation could also be given to the poorest region or something like the ones without parents/without any property/income below certain numbers. But again there's going to be a corruption. Under the reservation system, probably the daughter and sons of janjatis leaders are going to get more opportunities than the rest.
Journalists
Nepali journalists are one of the worst. They are very biased. Aangkaji was right in the context that the journalists are biased and newspaper completely ignored the news of janajatis. I was watching yesterday's news programs on TV; they were highlighting dozens of people protesting at a couple of intersections. On youtube and facebook, I saw thousands of people protesting, and the news didn't even mention it; forget about showing it. Their agendas may not be right; but they're journalists; they are supposed to show us all the aspects, and let us decide who is right and who is wrong.
Shouldn't Nepal worry more about the unemployment, water, electricity, and fuel rather than the constitution or federalism? Will constitution or federalism solve any of these problems?
It's not only nepalese politicans; India is always playing a role in Nepal's misfortune. They've still not learned a lesson by sponsoring nepalese maoists that they've now started to make a plan to divide Nepal. If Nepal get divided, won't it be a more threat to them as well? Are Indian bureaucrats like Mehta so stupid or I must be the one then.
A convicted criminal (my biased opinion: Sitaula is definitely guilty for Sudan scam) corrupt Sitaula requests for CA extension, and his own party leader protests against it and tells he was unaware of it. Nagariknews editor wrote editorial on its support few days earlier. Sitaula probably also on a payroll of indian government and sitaula, bhattarai, and prachanda are the ones dreaming to be lendup dorje. By the way, did anybody read the stories on how india kicked lendup dorje's ass later on?
