Before we discuss, argue and get one on one with each other, we all need to understand one thing, the most important thing, I?d say: What is today?s Nepal? Just how many Nepals are there within Nepal? Do we even have a consensus on NEPAL? What is Nepal for us? 1. Parmendra?s Nepal: A country that does not respect the minority?s rights. A country that has not given him or his community something to be proud of. Heck! It doesn?t even recognize his mother-tongue. For him, Nepal is either a failed state already or becoming one soon. Nepal does not need a total shake up, but certain things need to be changed so that my group, or other minority group feel at home. A forced Hindu-Nepali Speaking-Pahadiya Nation. 2. Group A?s Nepal: Their definition of Nepal is different than that of Parmednra?s. Whereas Parmendra sees himself as a victim of the system- and he has every reason to see himself as a victim- others see the people like Parmendra responsible for all the mess. For them, the nation was working fine because they had all the rights in the world, enter Parmendra like people and the Maoists, and the whole nation is falling apart. So the Maoists and the ethnic politics are leading the state towards failure. A nation being troubled by the Maoists and the people who support them. 3. Group B?s Nepal: Something was wrong from the very beginning, but it wasn?t terrible. Nepal still has some hopes. It hasn?t degenerated to the state of Lebanon in the 80?s, or Rwanda, Sieera Leone, Haiti of the 90s. So, nobody needs to get angry. Things can be worked out by working together, peacefully. The change in the system at this point, or at this chaotic stage, means creating more chaos/anarchy. Changes can be achieved from within the system. There?s no need for a new system. A nation that ignored certain problems for long. Of course there are problems but that doesn?t mean we should just replace the system with something else. Solutions should come from the existing system. 4. Group C?s Nepal: Everything was wrong from the very beginning. What we are seeing now is the fruition of peoples? anger that was suppressed for more than 200 years. One group always dominated the country whereas others never had any real political power. Democracy was letting the same elite group control the country in a more internationally respected disguise. So what the Maoists might be wrong in the ways, but they are not wrong in their demands. So there has to be a change. Everything has to be changed and a new Nepal should be built from the scratch. A minority dominated nation; a nation that didn?t provide its every citizen with equal economic, social and political opportunities. A nation that never solved its political-social-economic problems, or even seriously thought about those, it just put a blanket on those, and created the NTB poster image Nepal. 5. Group D?s Nepal: What the hell you are talking about? There is no big problem. I am not affected. My family is not affected. And they won?t be affected. So why change? Who needs change? And the change for what? For this group, Nepal is still the same Nepal Tourism Board?s poster of a smiling kid with Everest in the background. There could be many more Nepals. A Tharu Nepal, a UML Nepal, a RPP Nepal, a Ashu Nepal, a Isolated Freak Nepal, a dada giri Nepal, and so on. See the problem is, we don?t even have a common consensus on Nepal. And we are talking what needs to be done. I find this really funny. This division in Nepal is responsible for what?s happening in Nepal today. Thanks god- Pashupatinath baba ko jay hos- it still hasn?t blown out of proportion. But if we still keep on having the divisions, soon we will be having an all out war of all against all.
