राजा कस्तो हुनुपर्ने? : बिपी कोइराला ( BP Koirala)

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 [...]

Remember me as a Good Man : BP Koirala

 (Source: August 8, 1982 Amrit Bazar Patrika, Calcutta (Kolkata))
BP Koirala
