I am wondering what a Political Dreadlock is? Are you talking about politicians who have hair like that of Bob Marley or Peter Tosh? Or are you rather referring to the term "political deadlock"?

Jokes aside, such deadlock becomes rife when there is no clear winning political party though the Maoists bagged the majority of the seats in the last national election. Current situation is the same political deja vu as that of the Baaisey and Chaubise Raajyas who were weakening each other regularly until strongman PN Shah came along for unification. That reminds me of the famous quote by Bill Clinton ""When people are insecure, they'd rather have somebody who is strong and wrong than someone who's weak and right." Folks! it's judgement time that befalls upon us right now which party is to lead the country out of all this.

Lack of suitable education and vocational/entrepreneurial training are causes of dismal literacy and poverty. Child labor should be completely banned and free HS education (with need-based free boarding aid) needs to be implemented so that the next generation don't have to suffer the same plight as this one. University education should be highly subsidized by the government, if not free.

Next, a FBI or CBI-like agency should be established in Nepal led by individuals who have shown outstanding integrity in their lives and careers. Political leaders and government officials should be randomly placed under corruption sting operations or under secret observations. Those who are found guilty of corruption beyond reasonable doubt should have their individual properties nationalized followed by cost-effective incarceration.
