Nepali Times, “And There Cfcs That Were the Main More,” Narmaya Says #547 1 - 7 April 2011 16 pages Rs 30 MIN RATNA BAJRACHARYA Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal faces the media following a program organised on the 56th anniversary of the Federation of Nepali Journalists, Wednesday That tingling feeling wo months since UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal managed to Tmanoeuvre himself to power with a little help from his friends in the Maoist party, his government has not even achieved the bare minimum of settling on a full complement of ministers for his cabinet. One of the ministers he has nominated, Bharat Mohan Adhikari, has already rocked the boat by prompting the resignation of the widely admired Finance Secretary Rameshwor Khanal. At the rate the prime minister is going, the process of forming a government may not even be completed by 28 May, when the Constituent Assembly is due to expire. With his enemies within and outside of UML quite happy to see him fail, and the party from which his government derives its chief legitimacy distracted by the much-hyped prospect of a vertical split, Khanal will have to conduct some serious outreach if his tenure is to be seen as more than the lucky aftermath of a slap in the face. p11 The hold of the past.

  • Year Book of Senior Citizens Nepal, 2012 Page 1 of 23
    Message from the Chair Mr. Bharat Mohan Adhikari I am pleased that finally we took this first step of bringing out a Year Book of Senior Citizens. However small step this may be, but I am happy that initiation has been taken to fill the ever existing data gap on senior citizens of Nepal, which has been the major bottle neck for starting the evidence based planning process. Numbers presented in this book are important not for their accuracy of counting of events or incidents, but as indicators of the trend and major issues of senior citizens in Nepal as represented by the media and police reports. We look forward to receiving comments and suggestions by users of this book so that we could serve better with disintegrated time series data on senior citizens of Nepal. We look forward to your kind cooperation and support to improve on this first step we took. Sincerely Bharat Mohan Adhikari Chair, Manmohan Memorial Foundation Sanepa, Lalitpur, Nepal. Year Book of Senior Citizens Nepal, 2012 Page 1 of 23 About this Year Book Many countries have come up with new policies and programmes in their efforts to comply with Madrid International Plan of Action (MIPAA) since 2002. However, most of the outcomes of their sincere efforts have been arbitrary in nature as they were prepared in absence of a strong national data base. This is also true for Nepal. This "Year Book" is the first step jointly taken by Manmohan Memorial Foundation and Ageing Nepal to fill this ever existing data gap at the national level.

    56 EBHR-37 Minority Rights and Constitutional Borrowings in the Drafting of Nepal’s 1990 Constitution Mara Malagodi This article aims to investigate the reasons for and modalities of the rejection of the minority approach in Nepal’s 1990 Constitution-making experience.1 The analysis is conducted in light of the country’s post- Panchayat process of re-democratisation and vis-à-vis the high degree of socio-cultural diversity of the Nepali polity in which no group amounts to a numerical majority.2 The 1990 Constitution-making process was articulated in two phases: (a) the drafting of the document by the nine-member Constitution Recommendation Commission (CRC) between 31 May and 10 September 1990, and (b) the finalisation of the draft by a three-member Cabinet Committee, leading to the promulgation of the document on 9 November 1990.3 The expression ‘minority approach’ is employed here to indicate the specific array of choices made by Constitution-makers in designing state institutions reflective of a country’s socio-cultural diversity and giving 1 The present article is based on my presentation at the MIDEA workshop on Constitutionalism and Diversity held in Kathmandu, 22-24 August 2007 (see http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/ midea/whats%20new/previous_events.html). I am grateful to the MIDEA workshop’s organisers and participants for their insightful comments on my paper and to the EBHR reviewers for their detailed and perceptive observations which significantly helped improve my paper. My doctoral research in Nepal in 2006 and 2007 was supported by a generous grant from the University of London Central Research Fund in 2006.

  • Nepal and Bhutan in 2011 Cautious Optimism
    SARA SHNEIDERMAN AND MARK TURIN Nepal and Bhutan in 2011 Cautious Optimism ABSTRACT Nepal’s political transition to a democratic federal republic remains incomplete. A November 2011 agreement on post-conflict integration and rehabilitation offers reason for hope. Continued disagreements over the structure of the federal state and its form of government have delayed the constitution-making process. Corruption, impunity, and weak infrastructure combine to erode Nepali confidence in effective governance. Bhutan’s democratic exercise continues to be carefully controlled by entrenched elites, but the country held its first-ever local elections successfully and economic growth stabilized. KEYWORDS: Nepal, Bhutan, democratic transition, constitution-making, state restructuring NEPAL *e year "(## began with the termination of the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN).

    Chapter 3 Evolution of Communist Movement in Nepal till 1990 Early Years, Development after 1960, Splits within the Movement 1. Formation of Communist Party of Nepal: Its Initial Documents As described (See p.43), disillusioned by Regmi’s activities Pushpalal left for Calcutta. On reaching there, he says, “His contact with Nripen Chakraborty and Ratanlal Brahmin and … his belief that the International Communists would instantaneously support the launch of a Communist Party in Nepal encouraged him to open Nepal Communist Party” (Pushpalal, Itihas 32). Further, he notes, “Revolutionary friends from Kathmandu Valley and from Eastern and Western Nepal were also conferring with me on the issue” (35). From then onwards, describing the formation of Nepal Communist Party, he writes: On 22nd of April 1949 a meeting was held among Pushpalal, Niranjan Govind Vaid, Narayanvilas Joshi and Narbahadur at Shyambazar, 28, Naveen Sarkar Lane, Calcutta. Meanwhile, Durgadevi had also arrived from Kathmandu so she was also included as the founding member in the organisational committee of the Party. This committee appointed Pushpalal as the general secretary of the Party and gave him the responsibility of organising the Party at the Central level. The responsibility of organising the Party in Bara, Parsa and Rautahat was given to Niranjan Govind Vaid, because he had played an active role in Birganj area during the 1947 Satyagraha movement. Narayanvilas and Durgadevi were asked to look after Kathmandu Valley and Narbahadur was given the responsibility of working among the workers of Biratnagar and Jogbani (35). However, there exists a controversy regarding the exact date when the Party was formed and regarding the number of founding members.

    Chapter 4 Communist Movement after 1990 Parliamentary System and Various Communist Parties. Their Ideologies and Strategies, Major Issues, Forms of Protests, Support Base/Social Base 1. The United Left Front and the UNPM The On 15 January 1990, seven Communist parties formed the United Left Front. The seven parties were “NCP (Marxist), NCP (Manandhar), NCP (Verma), NCP (Tulsilal), Majdoor Kisan Sangathan Bhela Samiti (Rohit faction),1NCP (Chautho Mahadhiwayshun (Fourth Congress (Nirmal Lama)), and NCP (ML)” (Samyukta Bam Morcha 7). It declared its “moral support to the Nepali Congress’s movement against the Panchayat system”. It aimed at “bringing the Congress to its fold … and if not, to coordinate its activities with them” (6). However, the Front was a loose organisation, where “the participating parties or groups, with the permission of the Front, could either stay or leave the Front” (7). Organised under “Sahana Pradhan as President, and Tulsilal Amatya, Honorary President” the Front formed a “seven- member Secretariat” (3). The “Jana Andolan”, which the Front decided to lead was open to “the peasants, the majdoor [working class], the youths, students, women, the national bourgeoisie and national traders” (2). It listed 18 goals’ struggle. Of them, majority were related to the setting up of a democratic polity, and the political context in which they were framed explained their presence in the list. However, considering the tenor of Communist movement in Nepal, goal 17 stood out: it was softly couched. And the Front had this to say, “17. Review the relation with India in the context of Nepal’s traditional friendly relation …” (Samyukta Bam Morcha 6).
