Dr. Rambaran Yadav: the first President of Nepal

After 1 and a half months of no statehead in the country, Nepal has got its first President. Dr. Rambaran Yadav has been elected the President on July 21, 2008. However, he is still not the president for all the people. People who had given votes to the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) have not favoured Dr. Yadav.
Presidential post is the highest post in the country governance and the president is assumed to be the respected person performing ceremonial roll. Hoever, the parties have made the post a meal to be eaten after winning another. Therefore, the president is still not the inclusive person, because the post was offered to him only after Girija Prasad Koirala , Madhab Kumar Nepal and Prachanda didn't made to it. The presidential candidates Dr. Rambaran Yadav, Mr. Ramprit Pashwan and Mr.Ramraja Prasad Singh were selected when the chance of the major party-leaders fade out.
Despite all these facts, the good news is :we have finally got our President, and he is a Madhesi. This has created a positive notion for the Madhesis and Janajatis that everybody has oppurtunity in the new Nepal. Let's hope the country will now move towards progress under the parentship of the President of Nepal.

Agnikunda (अग्निकुण्ड)

Agnikunda was the book I aspired to read ever since it came into market. This desire was due to my curiosity to know what caused the royal massacre in 2001, and what were its backgrounds, and how it was done. The reason for my curiosity was that at that time I was 15 years in age and had new aspirations towards political system and history, in such case that event was like a shock and query to me. Yesterday I started to read it, I woke up upto 2:30 AM early morning while reading it. Today I completed the reading.
My curiosity have somehow been addressed, but I am still not convinced what caused the Massacre to happen and whose plan and action was that masacre. Like other general people, I see the hand of the then Prince Gyanendra and his son Paras. Characters like Dr. Rajiv Shahi I think worked it out for Gyanendra and were not the real planner or benifitter of it. The book almost concluded that it was a conspiracy that just misutilised the marriage-crisis of Crown Prince Dipendra and blamed Dipendra for commiting the massacre for showing his anger and unsatisfaction towards the decision made by the royal family about his marriage.
It says through characters - the old woman (बृद्धा) and Sharada didi, that the shooting was done by 3 men who were wearing the mask of Dipendra's face and they appeared to keep on shooting even the real Dipendra fell in the small pond in the garden. This has tried to prove that Dipendra was innocent and the master planner was Gyanendra, who immediately started to present himself as the unprecedented King of Nepal.
Beside the massacre itself, the book has tried to tell the inner truth about sexual weakness of the Royalities. Many cases of illegal and undefined marital realtionships of the Kings depict the true picture of their character. Hindu believed Kings to be incarnation of Lord Bishnu, but this book might have instincted some of the believers that they are as and sometimes even more sexually abusive and weak. They were fed by the tax raised from the people's labor, but didn't even hesitated to sexually abuse a child of a commoner who is like a daughter in age to them.

History and Future

History is like a whirl of wind . I don't know what is the relationship between the wind and the history, it may be just a ambiguity, but I feel that history is a movie created by pausing and capturing time-events, and joining them together.
This is in reference to my country, where there has been an end to age-long royal winds that blew the country here and there, thereby playing with the time my country went through. Now there is nothing like royalty in the country, the names of some hotels, highways, roads , universities and the logbook of history still displays some form of it.
Now the country is undergoing turbulence, with no rigid power to believe and follow on. Everyone is a new king and shows off extreme authorities. A thief, a smuggler, a corrupt who have no time for work but for entertainment is the character that the partyheads consider as the representative of people's wishes. I have full support for the people who are now asking for their rights with reference to their race that has been suppressed since time-unknown and been considered worthless beings with no chance provided for proving themselves able for running the country affairs. The suppressors are the Thakuris(directly) and the Brahmins(indirectly).
But now I fear that in verge of giving rights to one race, another race is ignored. This has paralyzed the concept of equality to all and nationalism of all. Now they are happy to criticize the Nepali partyheads but do try to ignore that the neighbour country's is having an vulture eye in the country. They do not even fail to praise the leaders of Neighbourhood Bihar and UP.
If this undergoes continuousle, the country is certainly going to be in a crisis of national integrity, and once again the military power may protrude itself in the name of national integrity and sovereignty. If thy have morality then its acceptable, but if they don't our country will be no better than present Iraq. In that case, its sure that the long-lived Nepal will collapse into nothing but fragments of identityness.
I hope my fears would not become reality, but if they will we will be the one who will live like a deadmen and tell our grand offspring the story of the breakdown of a sovereign country Nepal, with the people who were dead-minded, dead-spirit, and dead-action.
