A summary of the email forwarded by one of our contributors regarding another article by Ms Sandhya Jain which follows afterwards:

Although, we believe that a ‘Federal Nepal’ is another disaster…this article makes for an interesting read. I have followed the writers article since long and she writes correct things from the Macro point of view. The Macro level problems are, correctly, well defined and illustrated in all the articles by writer. From the micro point of view it is on us Nepalis itself to decide how we want the things to work.

The only thing that the writer fails to understand is that SPA is not a part of the solution but a part of the problem.

Shifting the goalposts

- Sandhya Jain 

The stoning of King Gyanendra’s cavalcade on the auspicious occasion of Shivaratri, supposedly by egalitarian Hindu devotees objecting to the custom of royal precedence, suggests growing Maoist fears that the forthcoming election to the Constituent Assembly may not give them a winning mandate. Reports from Nepal indicate that the institution of monarchy continues to exert a mesmeric influence over ordinary people in the Himalayan kingdom, and the prospect of its abolition may be eroding the Maoist grip over popular imagination.

Certainly the ground reality has changed sharply since the so-called peace accord gave Maoists almost a third of the seats in the interim Parliament. Despite such a precipitous political tilt in their favour, Comrade Prachanda has not felt confident of surrendering arms as per the accord, and wishes to join the interim Cabinet without adhering to his part of the bargain. His people are now claiming that they see no need to fulfil any precondition set by the Government, and are threatening to ‘delay’ the June election unless immediately accommodated in the interim Cabinet. Government sources are dismayed at the delay in arms surrender and legitimately fear that arms may play a role in the forthcoming election.

During a visit to New Delhi last week, Nepali Congress leader Sujata Koirala complained that the Maoists have gone “out of control” and are an obstacle to her country’s transition to a full-fledged democracy. She claimed the Maoists have resiled from all promises, have not surrendered all arms or returned lands seized previously. Indeed, she said, the Maoist cadre is still threatening the people, the police and even foreign diplomats. Even former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has charged the Maoists of breaking their promise to return seized public property; he fears this could affect the Constituent Assembly election (The Rising Nepal, February 8, 2007).

Although Ms Koirala was too polite to express dissatisfaction with the UN’s handling of the arms issue, in the light of India’s sad experience with the UN mission on the Indo-Pak border, I can only surmise that a devious international game is afoot to give an unrepresentative bunch of thugs the control of this strategically vital nation. Not surprisingly, Ms Koirala, who is known for her political candour, has asked India to perceive the Nepal situation as a “fire in the neighbourhood”, and take appropriate action before it engulfs us in turn. Given the grim situation in States battling Naxalite violence, not to mention ISI presence in both countries, the warning is apt. It remains to be seen if it has been well received; it is not clear which UPA leaders she succeeded in meeting during her stay.

Ms Koirala revealed that Nepal’s greatest problem is law and order and that Home Minister KP Sitaula is widely perceived as being ‘too friendly’ with the Maoists, and hence unable to act decisively against them. She took public opinion by surprise when she defied her father, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, and openly demanded Mr Sitaula’s resignation on the issue of the Terai violence. It appears that many political parties in Kathmandu are waking up to the reality of the ‘coup’ that has gifted the Maoists a major share of the interim Parliament, without any proven ability to truly represent the people. With arms surrender inadequate, and suspicions about UN collusion with the Christian leadership of the Maoists rampant (even if unstated), the constituents of the Seven-Party Alliance have found a heaven-sent escape route in the Terai flare-up.

The trouble in Terai broke out unexpectedly on January 19 this year, when the escort of Maoist leader Ram Karki shot at and killed Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum activist Ramesh Kumar Mahato in Lahan district. The situation deteriorated when the Maoists seized the dead body and forced the family of the deceased to immediately cremate the body. The resultant public anger boiled for three weeks, taking at least 38 lives and leaving several injured in police action, before a truce was called.

This brought international spotlight on the Terai’s gross under-representation and forced Prachanda to agree to a draft Bill to amend the interim Constitution. Once approved by the interim Parliament, Articles 134 and 154 of the interim Constitution will be amended to provide a federal state structure and new constituencies in the Terai, as also additional seats for proportional representation according to the percentage of population growth. It is thus envisaged that 20 constituencies will be added in Terai and four in the hill regions. An additional 20 seats will be increased for proportional representation.

According to The Kathmandu Post, this means that the 20 southern districts, which comprise 48.4 per cent of the population, will receive 49 per cent seats in the Constituent Assembly. The remaining 51 per cent seats will be divided among the 55 hilly and Himalayan districts, which constitute 51.6 per cent of the population. This appears to be an equitable distribution, and it is to be hoped that the aged and sick Prime Minister will be able to execute the delimitation exercise properly.

Political empowerment of the aggrieved and anti-Maoist Madhesis, however, is unlikely to go down well with Prachanda, who is again busy shifting the goalposts, violating the spirit and substance of the November 21, 2006, accord. Indeed, less than a month after declaring peace, Maoist goons had resorted to large-scale violence and intimation in Kathmandu on December 18, 2006, to force the Government to cancel the appointment of Ambassadors to 14 countries, including India. Now they are trying to muscle their way into the interim Cabinet without surrendering arms.

Given their unreliable nature, the original seven parties of the interim Government would do well to seize the political initiative, rather than let Prachanda dictate the national agenda. The SPA should dissociate from the plan to abolish the monarchy, and emphasise a truly federal polity. It should support retention of Hindu supremacy in the Himalayan kingdom, with safeguards against fraudulent conversions currently being pushed among border and marginal communities; already a major portion of Nepal’s Buddhist community has been converted to Christianity in the past few years. The SPA should also call upon the Nepal Army to ensure free and fair elections in June, as it is virtually certain that the UN will fail to control the murderous People’s Liberation Army.

Make Nepal a Hindu nation: Hindu activists

Although, anything that the terrorist government (SPAM) of Nepal does hardly matters…a few sane minds of the world are taking note of the events happening in Nepal and trying their best to restore the lost dignity of Nepal.

The fact of the matter remains is that these bunch of terrorists who came to power in Nepal by sheer hooliganism and MOB and Goon movement have no right what-so-ever to take any decision that concerns Nepal or Nepalis.  A bunch of power hungry terrorists cannot decide for 24 crore Nepalis. Period.

A news artcile from nepalnews:

Make Nepal a Hindu nation: Hindu activists

Participants of an interaction in New York have urged all Hindus across the globe to work to defend Nepal as a Hindu nation.

Speaking at the interaction organized by Sanatan Darma, Sanskrit and Nepali Center at Shree Satya Naraian Temple, New York City Hindus from various parts of the United States, Canada, India, Bangladesh, United Kingdom, Bhutan, Shri Lanka, Trinidad, Guyana and Nepal expressed solidarity for Nepali Hindus to make Nepal a Hindu nation.

The parliament reinstated following the success of the April movement has declared Nepal as a secular country. Hindu activists are protesting against the parliament’s decision and demanding to make Nepal a Hindu country.

A press release issued by the organiser said, scholars from the Indian American community Arish Sahani and Shree Gaurang G. Vaishnav, General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council of America) Raju Bhatija and Vijay Sigdel, a political activist from Nepal presented their views in favour of making Nepal a Hindu state.

Speaking at the programme, Vaishnav said that all Hindus must be united and rise up to defeat the foreign and internal enemies who wish to divide the Hindus.

Bishal Bikram Shah, a Nepali scholar currently living in New York city condemned the violence and pelting of stones during the visit of His Majesty King Gyanendra to offer prayers to Lord Pashupatinath on the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri.

He demanded that the miscreants, hooligans and criminal elements be arrested and punished.

Various Nepali artists also presented cultural programme on the occasion. nepalnews.com pb Feb 21 07

Ascent of the anti-Hindus

The following article was originally published in the newspaper The Pioneer (of India) and has been reproduced here from the BJP website. Some of the facts mentioned here and the grand designs of Indian National Congress (yes, that has ruined India’s relationship with all it’s neighbours) send you crying for Nepal and the Hindus in general. Think logically and all the bits and pieces start falling in place.

Ascent of the anti-Hindus
By Sandhya Jain

 

Barely a month after his visit to New Delhi for support in rebuilding his Maoist-ravaged country, Nepal’s appointed interim Prime Minister GP Koirala has delivered his unhappy nation into the hands of its worst tormentor and retired to a hospital bed. Whispers from Kathmandu suggest that Prachanda, would-be President-King of the former Hindu kingdom, is a Christian. There is little reason to doubt these voices, as similar murmurings about LTTE supremo V Prabhakaran proved correct, and Sri Lanka’s Tamil Hindus admit that the organisation does not serve their political, economic or cultural interests in any way. Its objective is to provide its covert Western backers a foothold in the region.

With Prachanda’s ascent in India’s hinterland, the West has executed a far greater coup than the secession of East Timor from Indonesia. If South Block is unmoved, it is only because an Italian Roman Catholic has successfully subverted the national ethos and subjugated the country to American geo-strategic interests. It is truly shocking that New Delhi has refused to react to the fact that an aged politician, appointed for an interim period in the wake of a popular agitation, has inaugurated the most audacious changes in Nepal’s polity without any mandate from the Nepali people.

Instead of supporting Hindu Nepal, its civilisational ally, the Sonia Gandhi-dominated UPA regime is shamelessly working to accomplish the West-sponsored Maoist agenda. The centuries-old Hindu character of the country has been tossed aside, and the monarchy and the Royal Nepal Army which symbolise the nation discredited. Though the supposedly popular uprising (the cognoscenti say the streets were crammed with paid lumpens) aimed at electing a government and restoring the democratic process, it now transpires that Nepal is going to be subverted through a new constituent assembly, which was never on the people’s agenda.

It is true that King Gyanendra is not respected like his late brother. Yet realisation is beginning to dawn in some quarters that the political parties that constituted Nepal’s fractious democratic process have been rendered completely irrelevant by plans for a new constituent assembly. This is because the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) regime is being blackmailed by Maoist threats of renewed violence and bloodshed, and this threat may impact upon the results whenever elections are held. Prachanda, dreaming of the Nepali version of the Imperial Presidency, is advocating United Nations supervision of the polls, when everyone knows that the UN is an agent of the West, especially under Kofi Annan.

America is seeking to enthrone Christian stooges wherever it has strategic interests. Ideology is a ruse, mere washable distemper. This will become apparent when the new constitution officially abolishes the Hindu nature of the State and espouses minority rights, despite the fact that there were no minorities in Nepal until the West and the ISI jointly evangelised the region as part of a policy of containing India. Nepal’s new constitution will offer freedom of religion (sic), a euphemism for the freedom to convert Nepalis to Christianity.

Eradication of the Hindu character of Nepal is the sole raison d’etre for the present de facto regime change, and its instigators are the American-led West, operating through anti-Hindu communist groups in both India and Nepal. Notwithstanding their pretended anti-imperialist rhetoric, there should be no misunderstanding that Communists serve any power other than the West. Russia is officially non-Communist and China is Communist in name only. Left radicals enjoy untold luxury and wealth solely in America, populating its elite universities and NGOs. They are Christian America’s natural allies in hurting the native civilisational ethos in non-Christian countries targetted by the West, and are doing a thorough job in Nepal.

The great Pashupatinath mandir, as critical to Nepal’s cultural traditions as India’s Vishwanath temple at Varanasi, has been singled out for secular assault. It has been asked to submit its accounts for scrutiny by unelected unbelievers. This is an outrage, an act of iconoclasm as grave as the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas by the American-trained Taliban. If Nepalis fail to respond to this insult with the ferocity it deserves, they should be prepared to witness the cross replacing the shikar over the sanctum sanctorum.

Prachanda has made several revealing statements. Last year, he told Time magazine that when he launched the so-called people’s war in 1996, he did not have a single modern weapon or any trained armed cadres (April 18, 2005). Anybody who has observed the insurgency in India’s North-East would readily identify the religious affiliations of the international sponsors of such ‘people’s movements.’

More importantly, Prachanda is determined to keep his arms and armed cadres intact even after elections to the proposed constituent assembly are over. This is obviously to secure an advantage (sic) which the elections might deny him. He could then emulate Lenin and enact a Winter Palace-style of coup against the country’s effete politicians, who have so far behaved with sheep-like stupidity. This has emboldened him to suggest that his Maoist insurgents could join and take over the Royal Nepal Army (RNA)!

Ms Sonia Gandhi’s supremacy having ensured an unfriendly India, it is not known what kind of cards the King and Army still retain to defeat this virtual colonisation of Nepal. But it is almost certain that they cannot beat back this challenge alone. Nepal’s notoriously divisive political parties have not shown any awareness of the nature of the threat facing the nation, so it is too early to say if they can unite with the King and Army for a larger purpose. If Prachanda formally seizes all power in Nepal, there is little doubt that America will seek bases on Nepali soil, in order to ‘contain’ China. This does not augur well for India. Yet we must prepare for this eventuality, as there is no other reason to plant a Christian in Kathmandu.

The 21st century seems set to witness a major geographical realignment with old national boundaries being merged into larger conglomerates. America already calls the shots in Pakistan and through it, in Bangladesh. It has bases in Afghanistan, and Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, has been cultivated and controlled through a Hollywood star. Christian supremos have been put in place in India and Nepal, while Christian protégés are being promoted in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. That gives you a new political entity already christened by the US State Department – South Asia. Not a nice thought; not one that can be readily dismissed either.

Two killed, dozens injured in restive Lahan

We never questioned the illegitimacy and all the terrorist and hooliganism means with which SPAM came to power. It cried foul when the security forces tried to stop their mobs from destroying everything in the Goon Movement of April.

The wheel seems to have turned 179 degrees. This time the Government of Terrorism (of Nepal) is facing dissent voices in the South.  The 8 party (SPAM) Dictatorship is Killing freely and injuring people even more freely in this chaos. No question, the world will not hear all this. The UPA Government of India is feeding the show and enjoying this sepratist movement in Nepal. Nepal’s fight continues this time and the world watches with eyes, ears and mouth shut – India doesn’t want others to and it’s puppets (SPAM of Nepal) will continue to ru(i)n and do everything possible in the Sikkimisation of Nepal.

Two killed, dozens injured in restive Lahan

Two persons were killed and dozens of others wounded in Lahan, Siraha district, when police opened fire as angry protesters tried to ‘attack’ a police post Monday afternoon.

One Pramod Sada, a 15-year old school student of Lahan Municipality, and another Bijay Kumar Sahani of the same municipality were killed when police opened fire on the crowd, reports said. Over three dozen others were injured in the police action.

Reports quoted police officials as saying they had to open fire in self defence as the protesting crowd led by Madhesi People’s Rights Forum tried to bring down the Ilakha Police Post. Police had fired several rounds of live ammunition and teargas shells during the incident.

12-hour long curfew has been imposed from 4:00 in the afternoon in the town in the wake of ensuing violence. Lahan remained tense from early morning as the MPRF continued its protests against the killing on Friday of a student, reportedly by the bullet fired by a Maoist cadre, during a rally.

The Forum has been carrying out protests in the capital and Terai districts against the recently promulgated interim constitution, which, it says, failed to address the demands of Madhesi people. nepalnews.com mk Jan 22 07

A civilization of Violence

Nepal is in a mess. There are no 2 words for it. Here are a few pictures that we found at Nepalnews (nepalnews.com). See the destruction mode that the people (read: Maoists/SPAM) gets into if their demands are not met. It’s a vicious cycle. The Government of Terrorism that is in power itself spreads this violence mode. The end result of it is to keep the majority peaceful population silent. With this violence that the Terrorists (Maoists) and the Government spreads…the people are terrorized…people don’t protest for if they do so the terrorists are going to kill them all, loot them all. Suffering in silence…terrorized by the Government itself. Add to it the push for violence in Nepal coming from the Southern Government. The picture is much clearer. Peace is a dream in Nepal. It’s VIOLENCE and DESTRUCTION unlimited. This government came to power by terrorism means and it is keeping it’s acts together to hold on to power.

A burnt motorcycle (above) – People can be seen here as silent specator – who burns, who kills, who suffers – no one knows.

Can you the see the Full utilisation of Youthfulness by our Terrorist Government?

Here a Maoist – Government (terrorist) cadre enjoys after burning tyres and woods and disrupting the daily life. Police behind act as silent specators smiling at the show. Remember that these Maoists were underground terrorist groups not so long ago. Now with the support of Indian government they are in power in Nepal and spreading violence openly in the heart of the Nepalese capital with no one to stop them – not even the law because they are the lawmakers themselves.

A few more pictures below:

A car smashed during the violence.

Violent mob destryoing everything that comes in it’s way.

A deserted street. No business today. It’s a Mob day again.
