- India Today, March 16-31, 1979
Nepal’s feeble cry for democratization was virtually silenced recently in the wake of execution of two Nepali Congress activists, Captain Yagya Bahadur Thapa and Bhim Narain Shrestha. It is significant that the executions were carried out at a time when King Birendra was ostensibly moving towards a rapprochement with the [...]

कतिपय पुराना मान्छे भन्छन्, बीपी ‘बीपी’ बन्नमा ‘देवेन्द्र’, ‘फणीश्वर नाथ रेणु’ ‘भोला चटर्जी’को हात छ, त्यसो त यसै भनाईलाई ठीक उल्टो गरि पनि भन्न सकिएला र बीपीको योगदानका वारेमा चर्चा गर्न सकिएला। जे होस्, यहाँ चर्चा गर्न लागिएका पात्र हुन् “फणीश्वर नाथ रेणु” को हो। रेणु र बीपी दुई साथी, दाजुभाइ, क्रान्तिकारी, योद्धा र लेखक [...]

कुनै तानाशाहको छोरा तानाशाह भएको छैन। हुन खोज्दा खत्तम भएको छ। राजतन्त्रको आधार बल हुँदैन। बलको आधारमा राजतन्त्र रहन खोज्यो भने त्यसको छोरो गद्दीमा बस्न सक्दैन। एउटा अपवाद भएको छ बेलायतको क्रौमबेल। चार्ल्स प्रथमलाई झुण्ड्याएपछि क्रौमवेल भयो इङ्गलैण्डको तानाशाह र त्यहाँ गणतन्त्र स्थापित गरेर ऊ शासक भयो। क्रौमवेल मरेपछि उसको छोरोलाई त्यस पदमा बसाए, तर [...]

राजधानीको कोलाहल पूर्ण वातावरणबाट आरामका लागि अनौपचारिक रुपमा लुसुक्क विराटनगर आउने प्रधानमन्त्री गिरिजाप्रसाद कोईरालाको आगमन सवैका लागि चासोको विषय बन्ने गरेको छ। राजधानीबाट गृहनगर आएपछि हरेकपटक कोइरालाले मुलुकको राजनीतिमा ठुलै हलचल पैदा गर्ने अभिब्यक्ती दिने गरेका छन्। किन कोईराला विराटनगर पुगेपछि मात्रै कडा कुरा गर्छन्? कहिले गणतन्त्रको लागि राजाले आफैं बाटो खुलाएको कुरा त, कहिले [...]
