Nepal, Between the Dragon and the Elephant

The Constitution .... was supposed to enshrine equality for women and historically marginalized groups, but many people in this country of 28 million insist that it does none of these things. ..... India fears that an unstable Terai will have a spillover effect, especially on its border states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It also knows that in the long term the Madhesi constituency, with its close ties to India, offers Delhi strategic leverage with the powers that be in Kathmandu. .....

The amount of oil that now enters Nepal is so meager (our national oil company recently scoffed that it was perfume, not oil) that life in the country has come to a near-standstill for weeks.

People are riding on scarcely available jam-packed buses, often on rooftops. Cars, buses and motorbikes snake through entire neighborhoods waiting, sometimes overnight, for rations from gas stations. Almost all major industries have shut down. Tourism, one of our economic lifelines, has ground to a halt, and thousands of hotels and restaurants are cooking over firewood. This is all in addition to the power failures that we have had to endure for years, even in the nation’s capital........

The people in Kathmandu have responded with anger directed outward, toward India, not at their own politicians.

..... Deeply humiliated, the Nepali government is now looking to expand its transit routes to China, knowing that trade with our northern neighbor can hardly substitute (in the short term, at least) for what exists with our southern one. Imports from India account for more than 60 percent of the total. Although China’s share is rising, it still accounts for only 13 percent. While China usually sends us garments, textiles, electronics and vehicles, less than two weeks ago, Nepal scored a strategic victory when it signed a deal with it for oil, marking an end to the four-decade monopoly enjoyed by the state-owned Indian Oil Corporation. On Thursday, China and Nepal agreed to open seven additional transit points for trade. ...... Our mountainous north, Tibet’s political inaccessibility and

the distance between our major commercial centers and China’s nearest supply hubs

mean that trading with our northern partner will not be easy. Beijing has forcefully backed Nepal’s constitutional undertaking. A stable Nepal, China reckons, will allow the completion of a major trans-Himalayan railway line by 2020, which will give it access to the vast South Asian market, with a population even larger than its own. It also has warm relations with Nepal’s Communist and Maoist parties, two of our ruling left-leaning parties, and wants to keep a keen eye on our significant and active Tibetan exile community. ........ New Delhi would be wise to acknowledge the lengths to which China could go to strengthen its influence in Nepal. It should know that while its coercive tactics may allow it to influence political circles here, it will not earn it friends anywhere and could push Kathmandu even closer to Beijing. Just this week, Nepal received several truckloads of oil from China, a small amount, but symbolic nonetheless.....By expanding lines with China, Nepal has shown that it has a card to play with India. Nepal’s geopolitical parrying, however, must not distract the government from the needs of its own people, the Madhesis, whose grievances have been expressed over generations. It’s about time they were heard.

Indian blockade more inhuman than war, says Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli

as he criticized New Delhi for raking up alleged rights abuse in Nepal at the UNHRC. ..... "Nepal is currently at the receiving end of unofficial blockade. But this is the time for us to find alternative," he was quoted as saying by local media. .... "Our close neighbour has opened our eyes. I will render efforts to bail the country out of the existing crisis, maintaining our national independence, dignity and national integrity," he added. ......Oli went on to say that the blockade and subsequent violence has revived nationalism among the Nepalese people. .....He said that the government will resolve the problems by holding talks with the agitating groups in Terai. ....... On Wednesday, India called on Nepal at the UNHRC to consolidate Constitution building by accommodating "all sections" and emphasised that problems facing it cannot be resolved through force. ....... In its statement at the second Universal Periodic Review of Nepal, India also urged the Himalayan nation to investigate and take credible measures to prevent recurrence of "incidents of violence, extra-judicial killings and ethnic discrimination in the country".

NC Prez Koirala blames UML for delay in addressing Madhes demands
Madhesis are being isolated, says Tripathi

Hridayesh Tripathi said today it was an irony that Madhesi people, who supported all democratic movements of Nepal, were being isolated while fighting for their cause. ..... there were people who were trying to isolate Madhesis in the name of national unity. ..... Tripathi said Madhesi parties were forced to focus their demonstrations on the border as the government took repressive measures in the initial stage of peaceful movement by declaring one after another place of Tarai riot-hit and prohibited zone. ..... “Although the big three parties made amendments to the six province model to address the concerns of Surkhet and other hill districts, the government did not consider Madhesi agitation,” Tripathi said adding that the government spoilt the environment of talks by cracking down on Madhesi agitators the very next day as the talks between the government and UDMF negotiators were heading towards a positive direction. ......

As protests are prolonging, it has been creating a vertical division between the hill and Madhesi communities

..... the big three parties were treating Madhes as territory but not treating Madhesis as citizens of the country. “The state has not accepted that the current agitation is an agitation of the Madhesi people. The state says it is a blockade imposed by India. If that is the case, what is the point in holding talks with us? Why does it not hold dialogue with India then?” ....... there was overwhelming support to Madhes agitation even in far flung villages of the plains and if the state did not address the concerns of the agitating parties, things would only worsen. ..... Prof Lok Raj Baral said the major parties’ view that only the north-south division of provinces could safeguard territorial integrity of the country was wrong and the moment they gave up this notion, a solution would be reached. .....

“I am a resident of Jhapa and I have no problem whether my district remains in Limbuwan or Madhes province,”

he added. ..... Prof Krishna Hachhethu said Madhes movement would bring results sooner or later and that would be beneficial for all the marginalised communities, including Janajatis...... Surendra Chaudhari said if the ongoing agitation was not addressed soon, it would widen the divide between the Tharu and hill population in the western Tarai districts. He said

Tharus in Kailali had already begun a campaign not to buy goods from shops owned by hill people.

..... Ajay Bhadra Khanal said the government had not accepted that the Tarai agitation was an agitation by Madhesi people and unless there was paradigm shift, finding a solution would be difficult.

Made me laugh. LOL

Trade Blockade By India Against Nepal: Extreme Act Of Cruelty And Crime Against Humanity

What is our so-called government doing to address the present crisis? Are they trying properly, and sincerely to solve the turmoil? Where even is the presence of our government? ....... I am left to wonder how this could possibly happen in this world of the twenty-first century ..... Because of the unexpected blockade, people have been suffering so much for nearly two months already and the government seems helpless. For the latter there is no excuse. The government must act faster to fulfill the needs of the people and to end the crisis. It must find options and solutions. There is no escape.

The people deserve answers and explanations. Otherwise they have every right to revolt against the present government.

........ As various studies have demonstrated, there are yet chances of finding petrol in our own country.

राजधानीका बुद्धिजीविहरु भन्छन्–मधेश अन्दोलनलाई भारतको नजरले हेर्नु गलत

लोकराज बरालले

चार दलका नेताहरुले बसेर गम्भीर भएर छलफल गरे दुई घण्टामा मधेशको समस्या समाधान हुने बताए

..... समस्या मधेशमा रहेको तर सरकारले त्यसको समाधान भारतसँग खोजिरहेको आरोप लगाउँदै प्रध्यापक बरालले

चीनसँग हजार नाका खोलेपनि भारत जस्तो सम्बन्ध हुन नसक्ने बताए ।

उनले दलका वरिष्ठ नेताहरुसँग कुरा गर्ने वतावरण बनाए दिए आफूहरुले कुरा गर्ने समेत धारणा राखे । ......... ‘अहिलेको समस्या मधेशको आन्दोलन हो तर राज्यले त्यसलाई भारतको नजरले हेरिरहेको छ,’ उनले भने, ‘जबसम्म मधेशको आन्दोलनलाई नेपालको नजरले हेरिदैन तबसम्म समस्या समाधान हुँदैन ।’ .....

राजधानीमा नाकाबन्दीको चर्चा हाइटमा रहे जस्तै मधेशमा अधिकारको कुरा हाइटमा रहेको

..... अजयभद्र खनालले मधेशी जनताले गरेको आन्दोलनलाई राज्यले स्वीकार नगरेको बताए । ‘मधेशमा अधिकारका लागि आन्दोलन भइरहेको छ भने कुराको जानकारी राज्यलाई छ कि छैन त्यो खोज्ने बेला आएको छ, उनले भने, सबैको ध्यान भारतको विरोधमा गएको छ तर मधेशमा मुद्दा, एजेण्डा र माग छायाँमा परेको छ । यी करालाई अगाडी ल्याउने काम गर्नुपर्छ ।’ ..... पद्म रत्न तुलाधरले त प्रधानमन्त्रीको राजिनमा नै मागे । ‘मधेशमा यत्रो आन्दोलन भइरहेको छ । सारा देशमा समस्या उत्पन्न भएको छ तर सरकारले कुनै वास्ता गरेको छैन,’ उनले भने, ‘सरकार पूर्ण रुपमा असफल भइसकेको छ, अब हामीले प्रधानमन्त्रीको राजिनामा माग्नुपर्छ । र, उहाँले पनि नैतिकताको हिसाबले राजिनामा दिनुपर्छ ।’ उनले सरकारमाथि दवाव बढाउनका लागि राजधानीमा एउटा सर्वपक्षीय दवाव र्याली निकाल्नुपर्ने सुझाव दिए ।

‘अब चीनले पनि नाकाबन्दी गर्ने’
नाकाबन्दी घोषित बनाउन भारतलाई मोर्चाको आग्रह

मधेस आन्दोलनमा सरकारले मानव अधिकारको गम्भीर उलंघन गरेको भन्दै उनले नेपाललाई गोली गट्ठा र इन्धन लगायत आपूर्ति रोक्नुपर्ने उनको धारणा थियो । ..... यता चीनले भने आफू नेपालको सच्चा छिमेकी भन्दै आफै सडक बनाउने र व्यापारिक इन्धन आपूर्ति गरिदिने तयारी गरेको छ । महतोले दाबी गरेअनुसार चीनले नाकाबन्दी गर्न नसक्ने र उल्टै मधेस समस्या समाधान गर्न बाह्य हस्तक्षेप हुन नहुने बताउँदै आएको परराष्ट्र मन्त्रालयको भनाई छ ।

एमाओवादीमा मधेशीलाई खोजी–खोजी कारबाही

एक साथ पार्टी परित्याग गरेका ४५ जना सदस्यहरूमध्ये मधेशी मूलका चार जनालाई निलम्बन र अन्यलाई स्पष्टीकरण सोधेको छ । बुधबार प्रचण्ड निवासमा बसेको बैठकले पहिल्यै स्पष्टीकरण सोधिएका केन्द्रीय नेता रामचन्द्र झा, रामरिझन यादव, महेन्द्र पासवान र रामकुमार शर्मा लगायतकालाई पार्टीबाट निस्काशन गर्ने निर्णय गरेको हो । नयाँ शक्ति निर्माणका लागि एक साथ पार्टी परित्याग गरेका अन्य नेताहरूबीच विभेदको राजनीति गरे एमाओवादीले ।

नयाँ शक्ति निर्माणका लागि अग्रिम भूमिकामा रहेका डा. बाबुराम भट्टराई, हिसिला यमी, देवेन्द्र पौडेलहरूलाई स्पष्टीकरण मात्र सोधियो । तर, सँगसँगै पार्टी परित्याग गरेकालाई मधेशी मूलका नेताहरूमध्ये शीर्षहरूलाई निलम्बन गरेको छ ।

पार्टीभित्र रहेको सत्ता स्वार्थ र गैरराजनीतिक चिन्तनका कारण बिहीबार पनि पार्टीको जिल्ला कार्यसमिति काठमाडौंबाट १४८ जनाले पार्टी परित्याग गरी नयाँ शक्ति निर्माणतिर लागेका छन् ।

मधेश आन्दोलन झन् सशक्त हुँदैछ – जयप्रकाश गुप्ता (संयोजक, तराई मधेश राष्ट्रिय अभियान)

मधेशको आन्दोलन होस् वा जनजातिको आन्दोलन होस् नेपालभित्रको कुनै पनि आन्दोलन यति ठूलो विश्व जनमतलाई ध्यानाकृष्ट गरेको इतिहास पनि छैन । यो आन्दोलन अब नेपालको भूमिबाट फैलिएर दक्षिण एसियाको भू–राजनीतिको एउटा अंश हुन पुगेको छ । यसले सबैभन्दा ठूलो सन्देश के दिएको छ भने यत्रो ठूलो आन्दोलन गर्दा पनि यदि राज्यले मधेशी जनताको शान्तिपूर्ण आवाजलाई सुनेन भने अब त्यसपछि मधेशी जनतासँग के विकल्प रहन जान्छ ? यो संकेत सबैभन्दा ठूलो र गम्भीर संकेत हो जसलाई राज्यले गम्भीरतापूर्वक लिएको छैन । ...... राष्ट्रियसभाको बनौट व्यावहारिक छैन । ४५ लाख जनसंख्या भएको मधेशको प्रदेशबाट पनि ५ जना जाने र १५÷१६ लाख जनसंख्या भएको पहाडको प्रदेशबाट पनि ५ जना जाने यो असमान प्रतिनिधित्व प्रणाली हुँदैन । त्यसकारणले राष्ट्रियसभाको संरचनालाई बदलिनुपर्छ । भाषाको सवालमा नेपालीलाई एक मात्र कामकाजको भाषा बनाइएको छ, यो हामीलाई मान्य छैन । त्यसकारणले सम्पर्क भाषाको रूपमा अन्य भाषालाई पनि अपनाइनुपर्छ । समावेशीकरणको सवालमा समानुपातिक समावेशीकरणले पुग्दैन । त्यसकारणले स्पष्टरूपले आन्दोलनकारीले भन्नुपर्दछ कि राज्यको स्थायी सत्ता मातहत सुरक्षा निकाय, न्यायालय, लोकसेवा आयोग, अख्तियारलगायत जति पनि निकायहरू छन् सबैलाई यस आधारमा समानुपातिक बनाइनुपर्दछ । २० वर्षसम्म जनसंख्यामा हेरफेर भए पनि निर्वाचत क्षेत्रमा कुनै सुधार नहुने कुरा अहिलेको संविधानमा छ । आन्दोलनकारीको तर्फबाट स्पष्टरूपमा भनिनुपर्दछ कि यो धारा थप्नुपर्दछ । ........ सीमांकन पनि एउटा अहम् सवाल हो, प्रतिनिधित्व पनि उत्तिकै महत्वपूर्ण सवाल हो, संघीयताको स्वरूप पनि उत्तिकै महत्वपूर्ण सवाल हो । ...... मधेशमा आन्दोलनरत् मोर्चाले अन्य पक्षहरूलाई आफूसँग राखेको पनि छैन । उहाँहरू नै कर्ताधर्ता भएर वार्तामा बस्नुभएको छ । .... अहिलेको बेला आन्दोलनकारी पक्षले पनि क्रमागतरूपले आफ्ना मागहरू स्पष्टरूपमा राख्नुपर्दछ । त्यो पनि यस्तो बेलामा जबकि

नवनिर्वाचित राष्ट्रपतिले के भनेको छ भने कि मधेशीले आफ्नो मागै राखेको छैन । मधेशले आफ्नो माग स्पष्टरूपले राख्नुपर्दछ ।

........ सरकारले यो आन्दोलनलाई तुहाउनका लागि एउटा अत्यन्तै दूराग्रह मानसिकताबाट प्रभावित भएर दशैं बिताउँ, दीपावली बिताउँ, छठ बिताउँ र विस्तारै समय बित्दै जान्छ अनि आन्दोलन तुहिन्छ भन्ने मानसिकता राज्यले राखेको छ । वार्तामा बसेपछि हामीले सञ्चारमाध्यमबाट सुन्छौं कि ल भन्नुस् तपाइँहरूको माग के हो ? मलाई लाग्छ गैरजिम्मेवार कार्य राज्यले गरिरहेको छ । त्यसकारणले वार्ता तबमात्र उपयोगी हुनसक्छ जब आन्दोलनकारी पक्षले स्पष्टरूपमा आफ्नो माग राख्दछ र सरकारले पनि ती मागको बारेमा स्पष्टताका साथ आफ्नो दृष्टिकोण ल्याउनुपर्दछ । ...... सीमाको नाकाबन्दीलाई कायम राख्दै मधेशको जनशक्ति एकपटक फेरि सडकमा ओर्लिनुपर्दछ, जनता सडकमा आउनुपर्दछ र जनप्रदर्शनहरू जारी रहनुपर्दछ । जनताको विरोध अभियान, विरोध सभाहरू, विरोधका कार्यक्रमहरू निरन्तर रहनुपर्दछ । जसले गर्दा आन्दोलनको शक्ति, आन्दोलनको उभार र आन्दोलनबाट जुन भावनाहरूको प्रकटीकरणको जुन माध्यम हो त्यो कमजोर हुनुहुँदैन । ...... नाकाबन्दी मधेशी जनताले गरेका छन् । नाकाबन्दी मधेशका आन्दोलनकारीले गरेका हुन् । स्वाभाविकरूपले नाकाबन्दीको स्थान सीमा क्षेत्र तोकिएपछि सीमा क्षेत्रबाट आउने सामानहरू नेपालको आयात प्रभावित हुने नै भयो । यो बेलामा नेपाल सरकारको कर्तव्य हुनुपर्दछ कि नेपाल सरकारले आन्दोलनकारीसँग वार्ता गरेर नाकाबाट आन्दोलनकारीहरूको माग पूरा गराएर हटाउनुपर्ने काम गर्नुपर्दथ्यो । भारतलाई दोषी देखाउने कामतिर सरकार लागेको छ । ....... नेपालको शासनमा कम्युनिष्टहरू हावी हुँदै गएको छ र कम्युनिष्टहरूको सुरूदेखिकै एउटा रणनीति रहेको छ कि उ शासनमा भइराख्नका लागि अथवा आफूलाई शासनको लागि एउटा सम्भावित पक्ष देखाइरहनका लागि राष्ट्रियताको मुद्दालाई अगाडि सार्ने र नेपालको राष्ट्रियतामाथि भारतको खतरा छ भनी देखाउने । त्यहीं पूर्व मानसिकता अहिले कम्युनिष्टहरूले देखाए र उनीहरूले

मधेशको मागलाई गौण ठानेर भारतसँग एउटा छायाँ युद्ध गर्ने काम गरे ।

........ भारतसँगको सम्बन्ध नेपालको इतिहासमै अहिले जति कठिन स्थितिमा पुगेको छ, यति कठिन कहिल्यै पनि थिएन । पञ्चायतको अन्तिम समयमा २०४५ सालमा भारतले नाकाबन्दी गरेको बेलामा पनि भारत नेपालको सम्बन्ध यति खराब थिएन । यसको दुष्प्रभाव एक दशक होइन, भोलीको दिनमा राम्रो सम्बन्ध भए पनि ७÷८ दशकसम्म यसको प्रभाव नेपालको अर्थनीति, आर्थिक विषय र विभिन्न विषयहरूमा परिरहन्छ । ........ सरकारमा रहेका पार्टी भारत विरोधी त हो नै त्यसमा कुनै दुईमत छैन । तर, नेपाली जनता वास्तवमा भारत विरोधी थिएन । यसपालीको यो घटनाक्रमले राज्यले भारतको बारेमा नेपाली जनतामा एउटा गलत तस्वीर प्रस्तुत गरेर नेपालभित्र भारतको विरोधको भावनालाई संस्थागत गर्ने काम गरेको छ र त्यो कामका लागि सीमाको तनावलाई अवसरको प्रयोग गरेको कुरा स्पष्ट छ । ......

चीनले यस कुरालाई राम्ररी बुझेको छ कि नेपालमा भारतसँग मात्र होइन तेस्रो विश्वसँग जुन आयात हुन्छ त्यसको लगभग ८० प्रतिशत आयात भारतको माध्यमबाट हुन्छ । चीन नेपालको मित्र भएकोले यो सन्देश दिएको छ कि यो स्थायी समाधान होइन । नेपालको दूराग्रही मानसिकताले चीनको त्यो सन्देश नसुनेर चीन हाम्रो मित्र र भारत हाम्रो शत्रु भन्ने गलत पृष्ठभूमि निर्माण गर्न राज्य लागेको छ ।

Hinduism, Britain and caste
Arguments over caste spread from India to Britain

Specifically, Mr Corbyn wants British law to prohibit discrimination on grounds of caste, a step which the government seems reluctant to take, and one which some prominent British Hindus adamantly oppose. These opponents insist that the existence of caste discrimination in Britain is unproven, and that outlawing it would be an insult to the Indian community. ...... In 2012, Mr Corbyn told parliament:

Dalits are the largest group of people in the world who are systematically discriminated against on the basis of their descent and caste. They perform the worst jobs in the dirtiest conditions, and have the shortest life expectancy, the lowest level of education, the worst housing and the lowest pay and employment levels of any group in India, or indeed, the rest of the world.

...... both Dalits (who stress they are still looked down on even if they leave Hinduism for another religion) and the Ravidassias, a category of Sikhs. ....... The latest twist in the saga involves a judgement by a British employment tribunal. A couple of Indian origin had to pay £180,000 to a former domestic worker who alleged she had been underpaid and maltreated, over a period of five years, after moving with her bosses from India to Britain. The couple were of Hindu heritage though at least one of them had become Buddhist; the maid was Christian. The plaintiff alleged that she faced discrimination on grounds of both religion and caste, and a series of British tribunals found both claims legitimate. Through a tortuous line of reasoning, it was accepted during the hearings that consideration of caste was just about permissible under existing British law. The government apparently saw this as an opportunity to escape a nasty dilemma. .......... the Labour leader is not alone in his concern for the Dalits, whether in India or Britain. But as he may soon discover, people who speak out for the wretched of the earth can get themselves called all manner of unpleasant things, from neo-colonialist to Orientalist. Being caught in the middle of a south Asian argument can be an unpleasant experience for a British politician of any ideological persuasion.
