One of the main ways, I have seen to end the insurgency, is through social change. Many of our cultural and social practices and beliefs have become obsolete, stagnant and counter productive. Lack of solidarity among Nepalese has played a vital role in this insurgency. And we should do everything possible to abolish caste system, regionalism, and anything that promotes hatred and separates us, to encourage unity among ourselves. Then only will we be heading towards one specific goal.
