Nepal lacks a unified society. Choices that should be the burden of the society are made by individuals. Choices about anti-corruption laws, about social priorities.

The lack of involvement is obvious. Fear of criticism further deepens the rift between people motivated enough to do and people who want to do something but dont because of a fear that someone might "pull their leg".
If there is a big enough establishment of similar minded pundits who aim for a similar goal, there is a flicker of a chance for change for the better.
Right now, the only establishment is of (as i have understood) selfish "chair-loving" culprits who term themselves as politicians but have their own goals. The absence of a unanimous aim stretches the scene to all directions (cuz of these individual goals) and the country ends up going no where.
The basis of change sit on temples of learning, education. The educated sit in foreign lands wanting to go back, but not yet ready to leave the comforts of a first world country. The people who drive our dear country are the ones who didn't get to go anywhere, who didn't get a proper education, whose hearts are filled with angst that there are people who are luckier than them, they want to "get rich quick" without understanding the toils of hard work, taking shortcuts has become the norm.
And this leaves every one, every citizen, every man child woman grandfather with a bad taste in their mouth. Everyone has dreams, even the makkai bechne didi sitting on the bridge all day selling bhuttans to passerbys. But because of a few selfish people, there is suddenly this immense wave of distrust sweeping the community.
Need to curb that 0.0005% of the population who are the actual malicious miscreants. (Mao was successful in doing exactly this half a century ago.)
If you greet someone with a genuine smile, you will be greeted back with double intensity.
On a lighter note, Nepal should implement 'BearHug day'. Maybe lighten up the mood, strengthen bonds ;).
Jai Nepal.
