Unity, not ethnic division, for our success.

The problem of marginalization of many sub-groups in Nepal is well recognized and many solutions are suggested. Some even suggested the ethnic division of Nepal. However, it does not address the real issues, rather fossilize the problem and creates more. So far we are Nepali brothers and sisters. The ethnic division will make us Bahuns, Madheshis, Gurungs, Newars, Limbus etc., except Nepali. Our needs are protecting minority’s culture\language and inclusiveness in education\economy\politics. The solutions are recognizing overlapping multi-cultural and multi-lingual zones, and targeted application of education, economic opportunities and political inclusion to the most underprivileged sub-groups. The added political tools like ‘decentralization’ and ‘affirmative action’ are useful and important. In general, the strategy must be ‘unity’, not ‘division’, for success of all.

Why do we celebrate Fagu / Holi?


“Holi, the festival of colors, has turned into hooliganism,” states Tejeshwor Babu Gwong, a cultural anthropologist. And though at present, the festival, which is also known as Fagu Purnima (full moon) in Nepal, has taken a different turn, it still marks the arrival of spring—a time of flowers, fertility and harvest.

Gas dealers to halt LPG sales from Thursday


Gas dealers warned on Wednesday to completely stop the sales of LP gas from tomorrow saying that the import could not meet the demands.

The Association of LP Gas Industry and Gas Sellers' Federation, organising a press conference in the capital today, expressed concern over the "irresponsibility" on the part of Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) and the Ministry of Supplies in gas import.

Federation president Gyaneshwor Aryal said the NOC failed to import and ensure proper management of gas as per the demand. The NOC and the ministry should immediately ease the gas crisis, he said.

Bhutanese in Sydney show their strength on indoor soccer

 By Parshu Acharya, Sydney

February 23, 2009: Until a year ago ‘Bhutanese in exile’ was the symbolic shadow under which we used to stand. September 2008, came as a great beacon light of hope to the thousands of Bhutanese youths who had lit the flame of gender discrimination, deprived from the justice and right they deserved. The day when some of our feet landed on the Australian soil, hopes had finally opened to live a better and a healthier life. They had a dream, a dream to step up with a plea that shall always march ahead and do something progressive in life.
