Pokhara needed to keep its hotel rooms full, and it reaped a bonanza from the Congress extravaganza. If foreign visitors don’t come, it seems domestic political tourism will spring to the rescue. Despite an alcohol ban (can’t trust our rulers with the booze) which hit bar sales, hotels and restaurants did brisk business. Drivers of Pokhara’s vintage Datsun taxis were happy not just for the business, but also for an opportunity to editorialise on the antics of our politicians using choice epithets (which we can’t repeat here). The country’s movers and shakers were all there in their big cars: politicians with bulging suitcases, their businessmen pals carrying the cheque books. The only thing we can say is that some of that cash probably trickled down to Pokharites. (Although some hoteliers on the lakefront are afraid bills for fooding and lodging of politicos may never be settled—which isn’t a surprise given the complete lack of scruples that OS characterises Nepali politics today.) The one redeeming feature about the Pokhara Convention was the sight of delegates casting votes for party leadership. Only when political STATE OF THE STATE by CK LAL parties practise democracy within will we begin to have true democracy in our country’s governance.

INTRODUCTION In April 2006, there was a country-wide people’s movement in Nepal, popularly known as the Jana Andolan II,2 against King Gyanendra’s direct rule3 following a 12-point understanding reached between the Seven Party Alliance4 and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), which was leading a communist insurgency against the state. The 19-day-long Jana Andolan II5 (People’s Movement II) ended direct rule by Gyanendra, forced him to return power to the reinstated parliament, and created a conducive environment for the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the government and the rebel Maoists in November 2006. The success of Jana Andolan II in thus ending the decade-long conflict that had affected all parts of the country has thus been hailed by many as being exemplary of the ways in which engaged citizenry and communities at the local level can have an impact on the resolution and transformation of violent conflict at the national level.

    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Great Gujarat Earthquake in India in January 2001 revealed the vulnerability of “non-earthquake-proof” cities and villages. The earthquake killed approximately 20,000 people and destroyed over 300,000 houses. Nepal lies closer than Gujarat to the subduction zone, where the Indian plate passes under the Himalayas, and may actually be susceptible to even larger-scale earthquakes. Very recently, the American scientific journal Science (2001) introduced the theory that predicts a great earthquake of magnitude 8.1-8.3 would occur “very soon”, affecting up to 50 million people along the front of the Himalayan Mountains. In 1934, an earthquake of magnitude 8.4 caused serious damages to 60% of the buildings in the Kathmandu Valley. It is a cause for much concern that the next great earthquake may occur at any time. Earthquakes are an inevitability for the Kathmandu Valley, and people have to find ways of coping with earthquake disasters. The Kathmandu Valley is the exclusive centre of Nepal for politics, the economy, and a society of about 1.5 million people in an area of 667 km2. The Valley is particularly vulnerable to earthquake disaster because of the rapid increase of population, unplanned development, and poor subsoil. Should a major earthquake occur, Kathmandu would suffer immense losses of life and property and would be unlikely to be able to function as the capital of Nepal. The disaster would create a tremendous number of poor people, contrary to the national goal and key theme of the next (Tenth) National Five-Year Plan, “Poverty Alleviation.” It is foreseeable that the adverse effects of the earthquake will be felt throughout Nepal and cause long-term stagnation of its development.

In April 2006, the nineteen-day People’s Movement against then-king Gyanendra’s seizure of absolute power united democratic political parties and Maoists in a common cause. It paved the way for peace agreements and a tenuous sense of hope that Nepal could reinvent itself, rectifying past injustices of institutionalized class, caste, ethnic, gender, religious, and regional discrimination. This article aims to provide ethnographic insight into an early effort to construct commensurability among the formerly warring parties, and to open up a new discursive space in which to begin to imagine a “new Nepal.” This early effort was the first-ever live dohorã2 song competition on state-supported Radio Nepal on Democracy Day in April 2007. This particular Democracy Day commemorated the previous year’s People’s Movement, and the competition was part of the official national celebration. A significant element of this competition was that in the post- 1 The term “new Nepal” has a long history in Nepali social movements. Used by communists and democrats in the movement against the Ranas in the 1940s, and later in the 1950s, to refer to a Nepal free from the Rana oligarchy (cf. Pushpalal Shrestha 1995 (2053 v.s.)), it was adopted by the Panchayat regime (1960–1990) to refer to the development goals the nation was moving toward.

  • The Abolition of Monarchy and Constitution Making in Nepal

    The Abolition of Monarchy and Constitution Making in Nepal

    THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE（BHANDARI） Article THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE: THE ABOLITION OF MONARCHY AND CONSTITUTION MAKING IN NEPAL Surendra BHANDARI Abstract The abolition of the institution of monarchy on May 28, 2008 marks a turning point in the political and constitutional history of Nepal. This saga of constitutional development exemplifies the systemic conflict between people’s’ aspirations for democracy and kings’ ambitions for unlimited power. With the abolition of the monarchy, the process of making a new constitution for the Republic of Nepal has started under the auspices of the Constituent Assembly of Nepal. This paper primarily examines the reasons or causes behind the abolition of monarchy in Nepal. It analyzes the three main reasons for the abolition of monarchy. First, it argues that frequent slights and attacks to constitutionalism by the Nepalese kings had brought the institution of the monarchy to its end. The continuous failures of the early democratic government and the Supreme Court of Nepal in bringing the monarchy within the constitutional framework emphatically weakened the fledgling democracy, but these failures eventually became fatal to the monarchical institution itself. Second, it analyzes the indirect but crucial role of India in the abolition of monarchy. Third, it explains the ten-year-long Maoist insurgency and how the people’s movement culminated with its final blow to the monarchy. Furthermore, this paper also analyzes why the peace and constitution writing process has yet to take concrete shape or make significant process, despite the abolition of the monarchy. Finally, it concludes by recapitulating the main arguments of the paper.

In any democratic country, such rights are constitutionally guaranteed. The existence of an independent media plays an important internal role in ensuring these rights, and where democracy prevails, the media tends to be independent; media and democracy playing a complementary role. The past history of Nepal shows this relation – the media was promoted with the establishment of democracy in 1951, but restricted again in 1960 when the then king dismantled the democratically elected government. Following the restoration of democracy in 1990, the hitherto restricted media became free again and the very powerful medium of communication, the radio, became open through the private sector. In terms of the radio, following the establishment of Radio Nepal in 1951, for about half a century radio transmission was monopolized by the state. The 1990 constitution guaranteed the right to information, and press freedom and freedom of expression. In 1993 after the new broadcasting policy was formulated, the entry of the private sector in the broadcasting realm was recognized at the policy level for the first time. The National Broadcasting Act, 1993 and the National Broadcasting Regulation, 1995 followed. Private sector radio began to operate according to these act and regulation. According to the website of the Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC), till the October 2012, there were a total of 472 radios which had received broadcasting licenses.

Here in editorial context, I extend words of gratitude that express themselves, though they might have remained apparently unexpressed. All of your accepted / unaccepted self-reflections shall become collages on the canvas of the history assimilated in this anthology. Dear Feelers! Wherever and whenever questions evolve, the existential consciousness of man keeps exploring the horizon of possibilities for the right answer even without the ultimate support to fall back upon. Existential revelations clearly dwell on the borderline, though it might be in a clash. In the present contexts, at places, questions of Nepali identity, modernity, representativeness, poetic quality, mainstream or periphery, temporal boundaries and limitations of number evolve – wanted or unwanted. Amidst the multitude of these questions, Dancing Soul of Mount Everest has assumed this accomplished form in its attempt to pervade the entirety as far as possible.
