मधेशी जनअधिकार फोरम (मजफो) तथा नेपाल सरकारका बीच १३ भदौमा सम्पन्न २२ बुँदे समझदारीले संविधानसभा निर्वाचनका लागि सकारात्मक सन्देश दिएको छ। तर महिनौँदेखि सम्झौताको साटो सरकारसँग मुकाबिला नै गर्ने मनस्थितिमा रहेका मजफोका नेताहरूमा अचानक सहमतिको राजनीति गर्ने जिम्मेवारीबोध कसरी भयो भन्ने प्रश्न स्वाभाविक रूपमा उठ्छ। केही दिनअघि मात्र वीरगञ्ज अधिवेशनबाट सङ्घर्षको कार्यक्रम [...]

हाम्रा गाउँघरतिर दशैं तिहारका वेला घर-गोठ र बाटाघाटाहरू सिंगार्ने परम्परा पुरानो हो। धेरैजसो गाउँ र शहरमा यो परम्परा अद्यापि छ तर यसको पूर्वस्वरूप र त्यसमा अन्तर्निहित आस्था र विश्वासमा भने परिवर्तन आएको छ। घर-गोठलाई पवित्र र सुन्दर बनाएर धार्मिक एवं साँस्कृतिक पर्वहरू मनाउने, पूजा-आराधना गर्ने, परम्परामा फरक रूप देखिए पनि सिङ्गै रूपरेखा भने बदलिएको छैन।

म आन्दोलनरत वामपन्थी खेमामा थिएँ र सक्रिय कार्यकर्ता पनि थिएँ। जुन खेमामा भएपनि साम्राज्यवादविरोधी भएको नाताले हामी सबै राष्ट्रवादी थियौं। “स्वराज” को लडाइँको त्यस चरणमा बढ्दो असन्तोषको तीब्रताको बेला हामी सुन्दर भविष्यको कल्पनामा उत्साहित थियौं। हाम्रा लागि [...]
