 Indian and Chinese version of Nepali  janabadi revolution and Madhesh
Yesterday,  I attended a discussion program organized by Madheshi Intellectuals and Professors Society. Presidents of madhesh centered parties were invited as the chief speakers. The topic of the meeting was Madheshi Mukti. Questions were put forth as to how  one should understand  the term Madheshi  Mukti in the present context.The question was left unanswered as no body had a definite answer.

Nepali politics is presently dominated by two schools of  thought regarding state restructuring.The idea of Madhesh province is also there but it is pushed to  the periphery . A large number of people like to believe that the idea of samagra madhesh , ek pradesh, the bed rock of federalist movement in Nepal,  has lost its force. However, that is mere an illusion. The movement of Broader Madheshi Front  around May 27, 2012 has shown that idea is still there with its full force and will remain there as long as the kathmandu with all  power in the valley is discriminatory and full of conspiracies for peiople at the margin.  The idea with force will keep cropping as and when needed.

However, the school led by NC and NCP -UML in the mainstream , want to build New Nepal on the same old foundation which was led by late king Prithvi Narayan Shah. The other dominant school  led by NCP - Maoists  intend to restructure Nepal as per the needs of Maobadi Janabadi Satta. Between the two schools of thought  Madhesh is standing presently.  The relationship with the two schools have kept changing and will keep changing.

The mainstream forces believe that Baburam Bhattarai is working towards  establishing janabadi satta. But that is not the whole truth. My observation is that Baburam  Bhattarai is working for accomplishing capitalist and Indian Version of Janabadi revolution and to make the peaceful bourgeoisdsie  revolution  and samyukta loktantrik madheshi morcha  in the cabinet  is guarding the change . SLMM  is there also to ensure that the change is orderly  and revolution is  peaceful, no matter, if it is not democratic and constitutional.

But would the revolution end here? I doubt after the Baidya faction  is splitted from the Maoists  and formed  a new party. It is widely believed that  Mohan Kiran Baidya is closer to China. So my argument is  that the day SLMM would decide not to be part and guard of the peaceful janabadi revolution, then Baburam ji will change  the bogey and join  Mohan Kiran Baidya party and half of the revolution will be completed then . That would be chinese version of Janabadi revolution. I do not know , where would  be Madhesh then and what would be the fate of the question of Madheshi Mukti?

सुगौली संधि और तराई के मूलबासिंदा

 सुगौली संधि और तराई के मूलबासिंदा सुगौली संधि फिर से चर्चा में है । वत्र्तमान प्रधानमंत्री ओली ने नेपाल के नये नक्शे के मुद्दे को फिर से उठाते हुए १८१६ की सुगौली संधि का एक बार फिर से जिक्र किया है ।  लेकिन इस बारे बोल  सिर्फ प्रधानमंत्री रहे है। इस संधि से सरोकार रखने वाले और भी हैं लेकिन सब मौन हैं । इतिहास की कोई भी बडी घटना बहुताेंं के सरोकार का विषय होता है लेकिन घटना के बाद इतिहास का लेखन जिस प्रकार से होता है, वह बहुत सारी बातों कोे ओझल में धकेल देता है और और बहुत सारे सरोकारं  धीरे धीरे विस्मृति के आवरण में आच्छादित हो जाते है । नेपाल के इतिहास में सुगौली संधि की घटना भी एक ऐसी ही घटना है ।  वत्र्तमान प्रधानमंत्री ओली सुगौली संधि का जिक्र तो कर रहे हैं लेकिन सरकार से यदि कोई संधि की प्रति मांगे तो जबाब मिलता है कि संधि का दस्तावेज  लापता है । संसद को भी सरकार की तरफ से यही जबाब दिया जाता है । यह एक अजीबोगरीब अवस्था है।  जिस संधि के आधार पर सरकार ने नेपाल का नया नक्शा संसद से पारित करा लिया है , उस सधि  के लापता होने की बात कहाँ तक सच है, ...

नेपाल में मधेशी दलों के एकीकरण का विषय

(अद्र्ध प्रजातंत्र के लिए संवैधानिक विकास को अवरुद्ध करने का दूसरा आसान तरीका दलो में अस्थिरता और टुट फुट बनाए रखना है । शासक वर्ग यह  बखूबी समझता है कि दलीय राजनीति में दलों को नियंत्रित रखने या आवश्यकता पडने पर  उनके माध्यम से राजनीतिक अस्थिरता का माहौल बनाए रखने के लिए राजनीतिक दल सम्बन्धी कानून और निर्वाचन आयोग जैसी संस्थाओं पर नियन्त्रण कितना आवश्यक हैं । आज देश में  राजनीतिक अस्थिरता का दोषी ं संसदीय पद्धति को  ठहराया जा रहा है । अस्थिरता खत्म करने के लिए राष्ट्रपतिय पद्धति को बहाल करने की बातें हो रहीं हैं लेकिन अस्थिरता के प्रमुख कारक तत्व राजनीतक दल एवं निर्वाचन आयोग सम्बन्धी कानून के तरफ कि का ध्यान नही जा रहा है। यह निश्चित है कि संसदीय पद्धति के स्थान पर राष्ट्रपतिय अथवा मिश्रित पद्धति की बहाली होने पर गणतांत्रिक नेपाल में एक तरफ फिर से अद्र्ध लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था की स्थापना होगी तो दूसरी तरफ दल एवं निर्वाचन सम्बन्धी हाल ही के कानूनों की निरन्तरता रहने पर राजनीतिक दलों में टूट फूट का क्रम भी जारी रहेगा । तब भी  मधेशवादी लगायत अन्य रा...

Is the Labor Minister Belbase the only Guilty Person?

Is Former Minister Belbase the Only Guilty Person ? The Minister for Labor and Employment Mr Kumar Belbase has tendered  his resignation in the wake of news made public of him asking for bribe money for himself and the secretary for getting new manpower companies registered.  In March this year, I was asked to resign by the PM because, as he told me, he was under tremendous pressure over the issue of  my decision to transfer the DG Purna Chandra  Bhattarai of Foreign Employment Department to the Ministry  of Labour and Transport Management. I declined to resign because  it was under my jurisdiction to transfer the DG to the ministry for 3 months. I had replied to him that  I had transferred the DG  to pursue PM's  agenda of good governance. I had earlier briefed him  that  the DG was resisting reform initiatives and I had found his role in promoting and covering human trafficking. Three days ago, I had handed over some ...
