    News update from Nepal, 1 May 2006 News Update from Nepal 1 May 2006 Second Democratic Transition 18 people were killed and 5,000 were wounded during a mass political movement from April 6th till 24th, which was organized by the seven-party alliance (SPA), the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) and civil society organizations. On April 24th, King Gyanendra announced that he would hand over power back to the people and restore the parliament he dissolved on May 22, 2002 on recommendation of then Prime Minis- ter Sher B. Deuba. He also invited the agitating Seven Party Alliance (SPA) to form the government. The restoration of the parliament is one of the key demands of the SPA, which came to an agreement with the Maoist rebels on November 20, 2005 to oppose the Royal coup. After the announcements on Nepali New Years Day (April 14) and on April 21, he again stated some liberal measures in public. On the recommendation of the SPA, the King appointed the ailing Nepali Congress (NC) President G.P. Koirala (85) as Prime Minister. The parliament resumed its operation on April 28 and as per the motion tabled by Prime Minister Koirala, it decided to “go for an election to a Constituent Assembly (CA) in order to draft a new constitution.” Accordingly, on April 30, the House of Representatives unanimously passed the proposal for calling an election to a CA. However, this has not solved Nepal’s deep-rooted political crisis. Rather it gave the frac- tious SPA leadership crucial tasks: to facilitate the second democratic transition (the first was heralded in 1990), to form a government from the parliament, to define the future of the king, to facilitate a peace dialogue with the CPN (Maoists) and to manage the arms of the rebels, to form an interim government including the CPN (Maoist) to hold election for the CA and to undertake major structural reforms to satisfy the aspiration of a di- verse society.

  • Nepal in 2002: Emergency and Resurrection of Royal Power
    NEPAL IN 2002 Emergency and Resurrection of Royal Power Karl-Heinz Kramer ¨ Abstract Under a nine-month state of emergency amid civil war, violence escalated and the human rights situation deteriorated. Dissent over extension of the emergency, and personal aversions between Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and party president Girija Prasad Koirala, led to a split in the ruling Nepali Congress Party. King Gyanendra dissolved the House of Representatives on the recommendation of the prime minister and called new elections for November 13. Gyanen- dra dismissed Deuba on October 4, as Deuba proved unable to hold the elections in time. The king assumed executive powers himself, nominated a new council of ministers, and delayed elections for an uncertain time. Nepal faced further setbacks on the political front in 2002. Civil war continued despite the state of emergency declared on No- vember 26, 2001. The war was accompanied by a wide-ranging disregard of human rights, the dissolution of Parliament, the replacement of the democrat- ically elected local bodies by government officials, a split in the Nepali Con- gress (NC) Party, and the delay of general elections originally scheduled for November 13, 2002. Finally, King Gyanendra released the government of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and assumed executive powers. For Nepalis, all hopes were set on another dialogue with participation of the polit- ical parties, the king, and the insurgent Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). State of Emergency The state of emergency had originally been imposed according to Article 115 of the Constitution by a corresponding declaration by King Gyanendra. It Karl-Heinz Kr¨amer is affiliated with the Department of Political Sci- ence, South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg, Germany.

  • Monarchy, Insurgency, and Uprising in Nepal, 1990-2006
    FROM CIVIL SOCIETY TO CITIZEN SOCIETY: MONARCHY, INSURGENCY, AND UPRISING IN NEPAL, 1990-2006 by CHUDAMANI BASNET (Under the Direction of David Smilde) ABSTRACT The character of civil society activism in Nepal—its discourses, its identities, and its practices—has changed several times over the course of two decades. In the 1990s, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and professional organizations were the major actors in the field of civil society, but their roles were largely subordinated to state goals. Beginning in early 2001, civil society activism exhibited a different character, and its public visibility increased dramatically and in more positive ways than in the previous period. As Nepal plunged into a deep political crisis, many new forms of organization and peace publics appeared. Activists associated with these organizations spoke the language of peace, neutrality, and objectivity; yet, they became radicals, and they, in turn, radicalized political discourse. Civil society activism appeared as a powerful force and public identity only in the course of the Second People’s Movement against King Gyanendra’s direct rule in 2005 and 2006, however. In the process, “civil society” became a household name. The King was forced to surrender to the movement in April 2006. This dissertation seeks to understand civil society activism in Nepal in three historical periods—1990-2000, 2001-2004, and 2005-2006. Focusing on three groups of civil society activists—professional organizations, autonomous citizen groups, and the local NGOs, I asks how and why civil society activism took different forms and characters at different historical periods. Drawing on civil society, social movement, and relational sociology literature, I argue that the nature of the evolving political field and the struggle over the meaning of civil society best explain the trajectory of civil society activism in Nepal.

  • G P Koirala: Nepal's Democracy Icon
    ISA S Insights No. 97 – 8 April 2010 469A Bukit Timah Road #07-01, Tower Block, Singapore 259770 Tel: 6516 6179 / 6516 4239 Fax: 6776 7505 / 6314 5447 Email: [email protected] Website: www.isas.nus.edu.sg G.P. Koirala: Nepal’s Democracy Icon1 S.D. Muni2 The paper recalls the life and achievements of G.P. Koirala, the first Prime Minister of Nepal’s elected Parliament in 1991, and subsequent Prime Minister on five more occasions. Highlighting the vacuum created by G.P. Koirala’s death and his absence from Nepali politics, the paper explores the possible ramifications and the political outlook for Nepal. Any narrative of Nepal’s struggle for democracy will revolve around the three Koirala brothers namely, Matrika Prasad (M.P.) Koirala, Bishweshwar Prasad (B.P.) Koirala and Girija Prasad (G.P.) Koirala. Matrika Babu, as the eldest of the three brothers was popularly known, tried to institutionalise Nepal’s post-Rana democratic aspirations without much success. B.P., the younger one fought hard against an assertive and autocratic monarchy all his life, but failed. The youngest of the three, G.P. Koirala, or G.P. as he was known to his friends and admirers, made the most impressive contribution in democracy’s march towards success in Nepal. He was the front runner of Nepal’s two major people’s movements (Jan Andolan I & II) in 1988-89 and 2005-06 respectively. The first movement abolished the authoritarian Panchayat System established in 1962 by King Mahendra in the aftermath of his coup against the elected Parliament in December 1960.

    Women Participation in Nepali Labour Movement (Study Reprot) The Relationship between women and man in a patriarchal society is like that of a "Slave and master". Such a society considers women as the property of men. And, no matter how much the man is exp loited by the feudal class, he expresses his supremacy by ruling over the women. The same is reflected in the writing of history. the contribution of women has been overarched.

This is not, however, a description of history, but an analysis of both the bright and dim sides that have supported as well as hindered the activities of women. The ninth chapter truly summarises the fact. What is noteworthy about the study is its message that history should not be limited to the prayer of kings, nobles and aristocrats, it should rather be an analytical exposition of the deeds of the working class people, who genuinely write history out of their sweat and tear. And the study is just a beginning; a number of events are yet to dig out, as the 'limitation of the study' warns.
