Ha Ha !

Few people in this drama

1. The so called Journalist who tried to rectify the problems existing in the Nepalese society. Journalists by nature try to exaggerate minor issue.

But Thanks to him for bringing the issue for this politically novice to notice. 

If he could suggest some better alternatives, than the prize receipient, would have been better. Hom Nath Subedi seems to have done quite a lot of publications.

2. The INLS

I checked the INLS.org and it seems they have done quite a lot of work to preserve Nepali language. There is no parameter to measure their success but what ever they have done must be commended.

Yes, it is weird and unnatural to award its own personnel.

3. The Protestors

If people think what the committee and Mr. Hom Nath Subedi, to award himself was wrong, then the protest should have come from inside. The other dissatisfied faction should have guts to resign. At least they have been able to make clear is अनेसास होमनाथ सुवेदीको पारिवारिक संस्था हो कि समस्त नेपाली साहित्यकारको हो त्यो छुट्टयाउने जिम्मेवारी होमनाथ सुवेदी र सुमन तिमिल्सिनाको काँधमा आएको छ ।

It would have been better if they limited the matter within the house.

4. You commentors

There will be two sides of each story. Lets not just think that what the journalist did is purely out of jealousy. There may be some substance on his claim of 'विश्वब्यापी मान्यता'

5. Mr Karki

He wants to win support of the Nepalese related with INLS to win Presidency of NRN. Its not unnatural to make such moves in politics and I don't really blame him for giving 500$ for INLS to establish a prize. He has been involved with lot of social work and should be appreciated. Good luck Mr Karki amd you got some free publicity here.
