April Convention: Creating A Glowing Core




Primarily this is a business venture. It is a festival. We have seen it done the non profit way. Our claim is we can do it better and cheaper as a business venture. But then Chandra Prakash and I are different. We are both entrepreneurial, but he has a music background, I have a political background. And my personality is going to show on the political aspects of the convention. I am going to personally convene a forum where I invite political activists in New York City from countries that are not yet democracies.

Democracy Spreading Mechanism
The Demosphere Manifesto

Everest, Buddha, April Revolution. You can put the three in the same category. You do not have to be a Buddhist Nepali to be proud of Buddha. You don't have to be political to take pride in the magic that happened in Nepal in April.

A Festival

You pay $35, and you have fun. That is the primary thrust of the convention.

Social Justice In The Mini Nepal In America, And In Nepal

Indigenous Nationalities Peace Commission Nepal: Interim Constitution
In Solidarity With The Kamaiya Movement
Direct Elections, One Seat For Every 100,000 People, Reservations, Primaries
C.K. Lal: NRIs In Nepal
Janajati Angst
Madhesis, Social Justice, And The DaMaJaMa Equation In Nepal
Why Were The Women Beat Up?
Reform The Nepali Organizations In America

Don't put up with Pahadi chauvinism, don't put up with Bahun chauvinism, don't put up with male chauvinism. That is the message. Enough is enough. Pahadi Bahuns rule in Nepal, but then they also have ruled in the Mini Nepal of America. That is about to change. The events, conventions and organizations have been ramroaded by them. That will not fly no more. One of the great things about the Nepali community in New York City is there are so many Janajatis here. We have to harness the political potential of that crowd. We also have to take the lead on social justice on behalf of Nepal. Countries have gone to civil war on these issues that we grapple with. We have to show we can attain social justice without disrupting the peace. And we are going to take the lead on it from New York City.

There is a tendency among the Nepalis in America to look down upon the Nepalis in Nepal. I don't feel sorry for the Nepalis in Nepal. They already earned their voting rights. I feel sorry for the Nepalis in America. Blacks did it half a century ago, Nepalis have not done it yet. They have not even started to start to think along those lines. There is an utter lack of political consciousness on the part of the Nepalis in America.

Professionals who hit the glass walls and ceilings in mainstream America seek social recognition in Mini Nepal by erecting organizations that are not mass based, that are not democratic, not transparent. We have to work to change that. Organizations have to go mass based. Before Nepalis can vote in America, they are going to have to start voting in their own organizations in large numbers.

Nepal is a small country. The Nepali diaspora in America is small. But if we can offer quality in terms of how we organize ourselves, we could become the glowing core of the Blac identity. We could lead by example. That is why I insist on blogging everything. That transparency helps us reach out far and wide. It is called politics at the speed of thought. It is called leadership at lightning speed.

Entrepreneurship

Micro Investment

There is an urgent need to cultivate an entrepreneurial culture among the Nepalis in America. That will be a clear undertone of this convention. Make money.

Critiquing The Maoist Proposed Constitution




माओवादीको संविधान मस्यौदा

I say bravo to the Maoists. They are so much more proactive than the seven party alliance, all of them put together. Makes you think, what do the seven party alliance leaders do all day?

That is the first point I want to make. If the seven parties were also to write complete drafts of the constitutions that they would like the country to adopt, the constituent assembly process would get so much easier.

But they just will not do it. I think perhaps that is why Baburam Bhattarai claims the monarchists are regressives, the seven parties are status quoists, and the Maoists are progressives. Any and all members of the seven party alliance have the option to seize the initiative, but so far they have not done that.

I admire the completeness of the Maoist document. They will want as much of this as possible to get incorporated in the interim constitution. What can not be incorporated, they will take to the constituent assembly. I believe their proposed federalism itself will earn them a ton of votes. My map is my first choice map, but the Maoist map is easily my second choice map. None of the seven parties have put forth such maps. How lazy and fuzzy can you get? There is lack of clear thinking on the part of the seven parties. At this rate the Maoists do stand a chance of becoming the largest party in Nepal. They got the momentum.

Now let's move to the finer points.

On the monarchy likely there will be a referendum. Girija continues to espouse constitutional monarchy like Mahendra never imprisoned BP, and despite the fact that his party through a covention divorced itself from the idea. My first choice would be to declare the country a republic now through an eight party decision, but I am okay with the referendum idea as a second choice. The republican idea will have an easy win.

The Maoists have taken the clearest stand of all the major parties on federalism. I greatly admire them for doing that. They of all parties feel the pain of the oppressed groups in Nepal.

The Maoists are clearly committed to a multi-party framework: "बहुदलीय प्रतिस्पर्धात्मक शासन प्रणाली, वालिग मताधिकार, आवधिक निर्वाचन, विधिको शासन, मानवअधिकार, मौलिक हक आदि सर्वस्वीकृत लोकतान्त्रिक मूल्य र मान्यताप्रति पूर्ण प्रतिबद्धता रहनेछ ।"

On land reform the Maoists will likely have to wait for later. "'जमिन जोत्नेको' सिद्धान्तका आधारमा प्रगतिशील भूमिसुधार." After the country gets a new constitution will be the right time to go to the people with this agenda. I am a strong proponent of land reform myself. It just has to be done right. Kerala and West Bengal have done it before, although I don't know the details of how.

The commitment to a rapid industrialization is good, but I wonder if the Maoists envision too much state involvement in the economy: "तीव्र तथा व्यापक राष्ट्रिय औद्योगिकीकरण."

My favorite part of the document is the Maoist proposal to distribute citizenship papers to all Madhesis before the elections to the constituent assembly. लामो समयदेखि नेपालमा बसोबास गर्दैआएका तर नागरिकताबाट वञ्चित विशेषतः मधेसका सबै जनतालाई संविधानसभा निर्वाचन अगावै उच्चस्तरीय नागरिकता आयोग गठन गरी स्थानीयरूपमा सर्वदलीय समितिको सिफारिसमा तत्कालै नागरिकता वितरण गरिनेछ । I have a deep felt gratitude for the Maoists for taking such a clear stand. This will force the other big parties to fall in line. This is not an issue to be postponed. Nepal is a country where you can not even legitimately die without the citizenship certificate. It is criminal behavior that 6 million Madhesis have been deprived the papers. Village level all party governments should be given the authority to distribute the papers.

Another thing I greatly admire about the Maoist document is their ultra positive stands on women's rights. America as a country has been struggling for more than three decades now on if or not a woman has a legal right to an abortion. The Maoists are so clearly pro-choice, it is just amazing. Once I read an article by some "Comrade Parvati" online, and I was flabbergasted. I was so impressed. Later I learned that is Baburam's wife.

महिलामाथि पितृसत्तात्मक शोषणका सबै रूप अन्त्य हुनेछ । छोरीलाई छोरासरह पैतृक सम्पत्तिमाथि समान हक हुनेछ । विवाह, सम्पत्ति बेचबिखन, सम्बन्ध-विच्छेद वा गर्भधारण वा गर्भपतन सम्बन्धमा महिलालाई पूर्ण स्वतन्त्रता हुनेछ । राज्यसत्ताका अंगमा प्रतिनिधित्वलगायत सबै क्षेत्रमा महिला निम्ति विशेष अधिकार ग्यारेन्टी गरिनेछ ।

The stuff on languages is unclear. It is a great first step. But I want to know the technical details: मातृभाषामा शिक्षा, सरकारी कामकाज गर्ने अधिकार हुनेछ । How many languages are you talking about? All of them? So if in a district there are 20 languages spoken, all 20 would have to be the language of education and the government? How does that work? But I take this Maoist stand as a starting point. My proposal on the same is in the Proposed Constitution.

The most problematic part of the Maoist document is on property rights. प्रत्येक नागरिकलाई आपmनो सम्पत्ति भोगचलन गर्न पाउने हक हुनेछ । कसैले पनि कानुनद्वारा तोकिएभन्दा बढी सम्पत्ति राख्ने पाउनेछैन । Right to property is fundamental like right to free speech. (Right To Property, Right To Free Speech) You can not say the people have a right to free specch but only as long as they do not criticize Prachanda. Similarly you can have income taxes, you can have property taxes, you can have land reform, but you can not have a ceiling on property and income. And even the taxes and land reforms are proposals that you take to the people for their endorsment at the polls. This is like an opening to the seven parties. They have the option to take a clear stand for right to property, which happens to be a fundamental human right, and gain a margin over the Maoists.

The proposed interim parliament is problematic in its composition because 101 seats go to the seven party alliance, 101 seats to the Maoists, and 101 to the civil society. The seven party alliance is not one party: they are seven very different parties. And the civil society does not deserve 101 seats: that is too many. But I like the part about the composition's diversity. यसरी प्रतिनिधिहरूको छनोट गर्दा वर्गीय, जातीय, क्षेत्रीय, लिंगीय र अन्य समुदायको समुचित समावेशीकरणमा ध्यान दिनुपर्नेछ । How about my formula? Interim Constitution Draft

I greatly admire the idea of an interim judiciary. प्रत्येक तहका न्यायाधीशको नियुक्ति अन्तरिम व्यवस्थापिका वा सोही तहको जनप्रतिनिधि संस्थाको अनुमोदनमा हुनेछ । हाल बहाल रहेका न्यायाधीश अन्तरिम व्यवस्थापिकाले अनुमोदन गरेमात्र बहाल रहनेछन् । अन्यथा पदमुक्त हुनेछन् । You can not end the monarchy, fundamentally restructure the army, redo the other two branches of government, and leave the judiciary intact. If there are qualified, clean judges that should be retained, they will be. But all will be appointed anew. The country is being born. It deserves a fresh start on all fronts.

I am not alarmed about the Maoist proposal for a new army. दुवै सेना अन्तरिम व्यवस्थापिका र अन्तरिम सरकार मातहत हुनेछन् र दुवैको परमाधिपति प्रधानमन्त्री हुनेछन् । .... नेपाली सेनाको समयानुकूल लोकतान्त्रीकरण निम्ति अन्तरिम कालमा आवश्यक कदम चालिनेछ ।

On the other hand, the seven parties taking part in the formation of a militia is highly problematic. दुवै पक्षको सहमतिमा मिलिसिया निर्माण गरिनेछ। What are the Maoists thinking? This is not going to happen. There will be an army, and a police, and that's it. There will be no third armed force in the country.

It is interesting that the Maoists want federalism during the interim period. किरात गणतन्त्र, मधेस गणतन्त्र, तामाङ गणतन्त्र, नेवाः गणतन्त्र, तमुवान गणतन्त्र, मगरात गणतन्त्र, थारुवान गणतन्त्र, भेरी-कणर्ाली गणतन्त्र र सेती-महाकाली गणतन्त्र गरी नौ वटा स्वायत्त गणतन्त्र प्रदेशमा विभाजित गरिनेछ र ती प्रत्येकमा अन्तरिम स्वायत्त गणतन्त्र सरकार गठन गरिनेछन् । अन्तरिम स्वायत्त गणतन्त्र सरकार गठन सम्बन्धित प्रदेशका सात दल र माओवादीको सहमति अनुसार हुनेछ । They envision eight party governments also at the local levels. That is precisely my proposal in the Interim Constitution Draft. जिल्ला र गाउँ तथा नगरमा अन्तरिम स्थानीय सत्ता गठन सम्बन्धित प्रदेश र जिल्लाका सात दल तथा माओवादीको सहमतिबमोजिम हुनेछ । You can't just have the bureaucrats running the local governments.

The Maoists have proposed the structure for the constituent assembly. नौ वटा स्वायत्त गणतन्त्र प्रदेश निमित्त १०-१० का दरले ९०, बाँकी दुई लाख जनसंख्या बराबर १ सिट गरी १२५ जना प्रत्यक्ष निर्वाचनबाट र लोमोन्मुख, सीमान्तीकृत जाति र विशेषज्ञ १० जना मनोनीत गर्ने गरी जम्मा २२५ .... संविधानसभा सदस्यमा महिला, उत्पीडित जाति, दलित, अन्य अपांग आदिलाई जनसंख्याको अनुपातमा समावेश गरिनेछ । .... संविधानसभाले एक वर्षभित्र नयाँ संविधान निर्माण गर्नेछ ।

By their estimate, the country should have a new constitution by the summer of 2008. I think that is too much time. I think it can done in half that time. But I am okay if that is how much time it takes.

Interim Constitution Draft

The most problematic part of the Maoist document is what is not even mentioned there. A party that thinks citizens should have a ceiling on their income does not talk about the finances of the political parties, and that is because right now they are the richest party in Nepal. These rich socialists seem to have zero interest in campaign finance reform. I know Baburam reads this blog. So I am sure he has read my proposal. I would like to know what he thinks about it.

Critiquing Pitambar Sharma's Federalism





Pitambar Sharma's Federalism
Federalism: Competing Maps
RPP For Federalism Ahead of UML, NC And NC(D)
My Federalism Is Economic, Scientific, Not Ethnic
UML Inching Towards Federalism
Monarchy, Army, Federalism

My Three State Proposal: Plus Points
  1. The demarcations are not ethnic.
  2. The current district boundaries are kept intact.
  3. It is assumed in my proposal that people will move around for ethnic reasons.
  4. There will be no water disputes between the states.
  5. The districts are given a lot of power. The district chairperson is directly elected by the people. That is the level where all the hitherto ethnic minorities will shine as a first step. Some of them will go on to become Governors and Presidents.
  6. The real challenge is to do with linguistic diversity, and the way they impact social institutions like the schools, the workplaces, the government offices, the parliaments.
  7. I believe my Proposed Constitution seen in its totality is the best deal for the DaMaJaMa as well as the others. It has been written with the goal of having universal appeal. The basic principles can be applied elsewhere as well.
Pitambar Sharma's Federalism
  1. The good news is that he sees the need for federalism. That is an important, big, first step in the right direction. The unitary state idea has been a disaster in Nepal.
  2. This Bahun has managed to realize decentralization just will not cut it. There are many others who are not there yet.
  3. Sharma wishes to redraw the district lines as well. I have not taken that step, and think it unnecessay administrative extra homework.
  4. Sharma refuses to recognize the Madhesi identity. He recognized Yadav, but not Madhesi. It is a divide and rule Pahadi mentality.
  5. The Panche Pahadi mentality is to recognize the castes in the Terai, but not the Pan Madhesi identity. Sharma subscribes to that.
  6. Only 14 of the 75 districts are such that any one caste is a majority. That is a good thing.
  7. 32% of all village units have one or other caste or group in majority. So the rest are much more mixed. That is a good thing.
  8. There are 92 languages, of which 12 are spoken by more than 1% of the people.
  9. Sharma says 55 of the districts are majority Nepali speakers.
  10. 20 of the districts are non Nepali dominated. But then those 20 might be some of the most populous.
  11. 84% of the village units have linguistic majorities of one or the other language.
  12. Less than half the Magars speak the Magar language.
  13. Maithili dominates the eastern Terai.
  14. There has been a tendency among all hill groups to migrate to the Terai. Another movement trend has been from the villages to the towns.
  15. Sharma's proposal is one for six states and 19 districts. The districts are too big. In the case of the Terai the districts are too big and populous. They might as well be called states and not districts.
  16. The largest district will have a population of 3,600,000. That is a state, not a district.

Lest we forget Nepal Asia Times Online, Hong Kong While war unfolds in Lebanon and India's and Pakistan's nuclear-backed dispute over Kashmir dominates news from South Asia, monumental changes are under way in Nepal ....... There is more at stake than replacing monarchical rule in the small, impoverished Himalayan kingdom. No less than in the neighboring Middle East, in South Asia causes and effects of armed insurgency versus democratic nation-building are regional and global, with profound implications for regional powers such as India, the "war on terror" and even nuclear politics. ....... Throughout South Asia, further progress toward stability and democracy requires a political process that can somehow unite disparate elements including traditional elites, armed insurgents and millions of landless poor. In this sense, with insurgent violence in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and most recently bomb blasts on Mumbai's commuter rail, Nepal's tenuous peace process is an important laboratory for finding regionwide solutions. ....... CPN-Maoists long advocated total land reform - giving millions of subsistence farmers title to land they tilled for generations ....... Now, UN political observers arrive at a pregnant, delicate moment, in which the ostensible conflict resolves, only to enter a new and difficult phase of trying to reintegrate armed insurgents into the political process, with terrorism and insurgency on the rise regionwide. ........ one general lesson to draw from Latin American and African post-conflict zones is "don't rush"....... Elections, and even intermediate steps toward democracy such as truth and reconciliation commissions, may have to wait until the Maoists buy into the process and all Nepal's stakeholders have more confidence in political procedures.The more immediate task is to convene a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution that can unite its various factions. ..... The UN's monitoring role and its current reporting mission are key. International civil society can also help by keeping Nepal's transition in the spotlight and by keeping humanitarian aid flowing. ...... No stranger to factional violence, India has relevant experience doing everything Nepal now must do: convening a constituent assembly, creating a constitution, achieving open public debate and building social consensus on intractable issues such as caste, and bringing disparate elements together into a workable democratic framework. India has also addressed its own feudal past by instituting successful land reforms in Kerala and West Bengal. ....... The most evolved democracy of South Asian countries, India

Maoists have links with Naxalites: India it's official in India that Indian Naxal outfits have ideological and logistic links with Nepalese Maoists. .... Indian Minister of State for Home Prakash Jaiswal told the lower house of parliament, Lok Sava, in a written reply Tuesday said, " Indian Naxals [Maoists] are reported to have ideological and logistic links with Nepalese Maoists." The Naxals, in turn, have links with Islamic organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba .... Over 200 districts in 14 Indian states are grappling with the menace of Naxal activities such as bombings of railway and other infrastructures and attacks on security patrols. India has adopted a two-pronged approach -- counter insurgency and economic development -- to deal with the crisis described as number one threat to national security. .....
Maoist ‘donation’ drive in Bardiya In blatant disregard of the cease-fire code of conduct reached between the government and Maoist leadership, rebels here on Tuesday announced that they would start collecting "donations" from industrialists, businessmen, employees, teachers and others in Bardiya district....... "At least 300,000 rupees is the monthly expenses just for a battalion of the "People's Liberation Army (PLA)" of Bardiya" said "Sandiv" district secretary of the party at a press meet here on Tuesday, adding, "Therefore, we are planning to launch a donation campaign which is voluntary and not forced donation." ..... "The government did not allocate budget for the PLA," said Maoist leader Bala Ram Kafle, adding, "That is why, we are compelled to collect donations." ..... would collect money in Gulariya, the district headquarters, Rajapur, Bhurigaon, Mainapokhar, Basgadhi, Sanoshri and other commercial areas in the first phase of the donation drive.

Myth of Privatization: Ownership or control? - By Roger Adhikari The ‘90s road map lead to the collapse of almost all of the companies soon after they were sold to private parties. Once famous and profitable companies such as, the Bansbari Shoe Factory, Hari Siddhi Brick Factory and Bhrikuti Paper Factory etc, have either completely demised or taking their last breath. All of this has cost the country in the form of loss of thousands of jobs, a shortfall of millions of rupees in tax revenue and the damage of public confidence in the privatization............ the political machine empowered to make privatization decisions awarded the businesses to the private entities at a questionably low price ...... Fannie Mae and the Freddie Mac. Both of these companies were created and funded by the US government to help more Americans own home. Together, these companies own $3 trillion of the $6 trillion U.S. real estate mortgages and have been credited for 10 percent of Americas Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2003. Both Fannie and Freddie are run by the group of people with a very minimal ownership share in the company through proxy support......... sell small shares (5% to 10%) of the government owned business to a private entity and let the representatives of the private share holders run the company through proxy support of the government. ..... since this formula doesn’t dramatically change the government’s ownership in the business for the foreseeable future, even the Maoists shouldn’t have any problem accepting it.

Of over 1,800 bighas of seized lands in Kailali district alone, the rebels returned 20 bighas belonging to NC central committee member Binay Dhoj Chand. Similarly, lands and houses of nine displaced families in Phulbar, Dhan, Barchhen, Kedareshwor and Nigali VDCs were also returned

BBC Nepali: कृष्ण ब. महरा र के.पी. ओलीसंग-19.07.2006

Super parliament Nepali Times The national mood tends to swing from euphoria to hopelessness. We are swayed by media headlines that magnify the messy indecision of the seven party alliance government and chronic Maoist sabre-rattling. ..... A premature laying down of arms could prompt a hardline faction to splinter off. Hence their allergy to the word ‘decommissioning’. ....... the prevalent paranoia that the Maoists are ready to go back to war after the monsoon is misplaced....... the proposal to set up a ‘super parliament’ with 42 additional seats for the Maoists seems feasible....... When civil society joins the executive, judiciary or legislative arms of the state, it is no longer civil society.
100 days of vicissitudes CK Lal the 100 day honeymoon period of the restored house nears...... The state, however, has a natural advantage over the insurgents.......

Parliamentarians ..

Palace generals Cabinet’s move to scrap the military secretariat at Naryanhiti was made without doing any homework.

Larger parties, like the NC and the UML, who came back to power saying that they would not repeat their past mistakes, are not being taken seriously any more, not even by the palace.
