This is a very timely article but with unseasonable conclusion. The learned author suggests, "the Loktantricksters…(should) go back to the 1990 constitution and start the reform processes….". It is simply impractical to expect that these handful of "Thalus" masquerading as NCP, NC, JSP, etc. politicians and hugely benefitting from the unrelenting loot of the nation's coffers and using that ill-gotten wealth to buy voters during election, and once restored to power, doing more of the same thing all over again. This has been the sum and substance of the so-called Loktantra in Nepal. The point is that you cannot have a genuine Loktantra and also keep people impoverished at the same time. If you read Sudheer Sharma's book on Nexus Nepal, there is a whole chapter that discusses how these "India's Nepali slaves" were carrying out their order to slaughter the innocents in Nepal for their rise to power, to come together to sign the India-drafted "12-point accord" to accommodate these India-designated terrorists, and to abolish monarchy-- that historically has been the stumbling block for India in its bid to Sikkimise or Bhutanise Nepal--and to keep these terrorists shielded from prosecution for their future use. But in their unrestrained passion for bullying the small landlocked neighbor, India overplayed its cards in 2015, sending then PM Oli scurrying for favour with China. That has since become a fait accompli in that China is in Nepal for good, suddenly forcing the India bully to stop in its tracks who have otherwise historically enjoyed ruining the neighbors more than re-building their own chronically backward and impoverished country, known as "the home to world poverty" in international academic discourse. So, there are many novel factors at play in Nepal these days and that is what makes it unreasonable for us to revert back to the 1991 Constitution, a document that not only unleashed Girija Koirala as the first great stalwart of corruption in post-1990 Nepal but in the same vein, also presaged this whole tragedy thereafter that has brought the nation to this psresent impasse.
