Girija's "Grand Design". A current reality check.
Not very long ago, this [Disallowed String for - No foul language here]elmaker named Girija P. Koirala chanted time after time that there is a grand design to deteriorate the political power in the country. Its a very high time to analyze his statement with the recent facts as mentioned in Sudhir Sharma's product.
Before entering the subject, we must realize the decades long war and uncertainty had made us pay tolls for two different government in one country. One to the HMG and another to underground Maoists. While the first one was logical and meaningful, the other one was harsh and the most forced ones. Even though it was illegal the Maoists got its way in getting billions of amount from the citizens.
Lets talk about some clues from Mr Sharma's book, he was served with the facts that both the Maoists and Nation's Army were first trained in Delhi and the whole thing was a set up from Indian Politicians. If it was true, then we will have to go back in time where "Palace Massacre" took place. It can be so easily answered now, why the Royal family was killed. They understood, the then King was not going to mobilize arms inside his own country to kill his own people. He was killed because then next person in line would do so and he did, thanks to the Lauda tagged Girija and power hungry Madhav.
Both ways, this country had to spend money on arms, and by now, we know where most of our Maoists and the then government imported arms from, India and allies.
We must keep in mind, there is a big arms industry in this world and are mostly dominated by five UN permanent members China, Russia, France, UK and USA. We received most of their merchandises. No wonder, Indians might have been used by those supreme powers but are we to trust those Indians who let use their land for such a huge treason to a wonderful neighbor like Nepal.
This country has been spending money through India in a rampage from so many years. Whether it be, in the name of arms or engineering goods or vital essential necessity products. All we have been doing is more import, less export. Our current figure shows the import of NRS 190 billion and the export of only NRS 30 billion (just via India and not rest of the world).
The current politics still being a bully on one another, we are still unable to forecast a steady government in the nearest future. This charismatic, Proportional Representative have added more illusions rather than transforming equal rights to everyone. We even wonder, if any of these tactics are drawn by our own people. Who among us, if in the right mind would want to divide people's solidarity in such tremendous way?
Small plea here, to the people of Nepal, just let's not make people inside our country celebrate August 15 inside our territory and not take any ambulances as gift from them and media should stop making joke out of those gifts. For us, its a sick news, where our head of government would go to their embassy to mark their freedom when they are the ones who masterminded most of all the huge collisions and clashes among us.
Our part is "not being one of them" and may be some of us are bribed easily. Whatever it is. This is the current version of Grand Design and treachery.
