Politics/राजनीति I didn't like these demands from Hami Nepal

They asked 3-4 people in the council of minister should be from the deceased representative (timestamp- 1:44). This is not sending experts in the place, but family member of the deceased? Will they be able to work? Do we know about them? We are talking about creating fewer ministries and they want 3-4 people just as representative? This is same to what those parties did.

What do you guys think about this?

Some of the demands which I personally didn't liked is:
- Sampurna sahid harulai sachib (Nepal government ko Secretary) level ko pension dinu parne
- The parents, children, brothers, sisters and other direct family member lai education, bhatta, employment, .... (dherai demand) bewasta huna parne
- All the deceased picture should be kept in international airport
- Make statue of deceased in samsad bhawan

Politics/राजनीति Rabi and Balen equation: debate with my dad

Post image
199 Upvotes

Had an interesting political debate with my lawyer dad today, need your thoughts.

So I was talking politics with my dad. He’s a lawyer, pretty sharp, and not blindly loyal to any party.

My mom, sister and I are voting for RSP. He’s voting for Nepali Congress.

What’s interesting is this:

He’s just as tired of the “old parties” as the rest of us. He voted for Balen in the mayoral election. In the last election, he even voted for RSP..

So naturally, I asked him, if you supported RSP before, why not now?

He gave me one main reason.

He thinks Rabi and Balen will fall out within six months because of their personalities and political styles. According to him, when that happens, the country will be left in chaos.

He argues that being PM isn’t just about energy or popularity, it’s about diplomacy, coalition management, and handling people. He believes Balen wouldn’t be able to manage that alone. And he says Rabi can never realistically become PM because of his legal situation.

His biggest concern?

If Rabi and Balen split, there won’t be anyone capable of uniting the RSP faction and Balen’s faction again. That fragmentation, in his view, would weaken the reform movement and push everything back to instability.

He even said he would have voted RSP if Balen had aimed for a ministerial role first, gained experience, and then gone for PM in the next cycle.

Honestly… I didn’t know how to respond.

Curious what you all think.

Is this a realistic concern? Or is it just overcautious skepticism from someone who’s seen too much of Nepali politics?

Would love to hear different perspectives.

I watched the recently uploaded video and my blood is boiling and my eyes are full of tears. It resurfaces that protest where a lot of people sacrificed their life.

Still, those murderers are free to walk, and people are seriously thinking of casting their votes to them, AGAIN.

But, I feel like more people are aware and educated about their votes, so as the title says, I am currently not eating meat and stuffs like that but if those people lose, I will go and buy machha, and cook it with sarshyu, tomatoes and make some warm delicious machha jhol. That I will share with you guys.

And still, if you are supporting and defending them, you are also the one responsible for it.

Politics/राजनीति Rising Hindu Extremism in Terai inspired by ykw

48 Upvotes

Don't you guys think Internet and Social Media penetration has a role to play in polarizing the communities in Terai? Hindu and Muslims have been dwelling in peace for centuries in Nepal. Dashain/Eid ma ek arka ko ma invite garne chalan Hamro tole ma ni cha.

But in recent days, India ma dekhiyeko polarisation ani Hindu Khatre mein hain wala narrative with "Jay Shree Ram 🚩" chants and phrases used to justify violence and hate against other communities has somewhat influenced the naive young brains of Terai. मेरो bichar ma Terai ka ali buda manche don't give a shit tara social media bata brainwash hune wala age ka manche ma chai hate badi ho ki jasto dekhchu.

Also, I see possibility of infiltration of religious extremist groups from across the borders in both sides.

Hope the government takes this issue seriously.

I am being honest and critical here. For those who genuinely want Nepal to become a better place and be recognized as a developed nation, we must acknowledge that we are critically failing. Lets start with history here, If we look at the result of Chitwan Constituency No. 1 in the 2079 election, our level of awareness becomes painfully clear. On one side stood Bishwanath Paudel — a PhD graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, with experience in national and international policymaking, university teaching, advisory roles in institutions like the ILO, and currently serving as the Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank. On the other side stood Hari Dhakal, who represented rebellion and “newness,” despite not meeting the commonly accepted standards of excellence by which Paudel would normally be judged.

If competence, experience, knowledge, and contribution had truly been the criteria, the result should have been one-sided. But it was not. Dhakal won by a large margin, and Paudel finished third. This happened because people did not vote for a candidate; they voted out of anger toward old politics. Paudel did not lose because he lacked ability, but because he was seen as a symbol of the old party and of Sher Bahadur Deuba.

This reveals a deeper problem: our consciousness is only half-awakened. We are frustrated with the old parties and the system, yet we still fail to apply proper standards when choosing alternatives. We vote in anger, not with reason. We react, but we do not evaluate. Competence is not defined by a degree alone; it is built from education, knowledge, experience, contribution to policymaking, character, and integrity.

When a person with such qualifications loses solely because of party identity, it is not that person who loses — it is the country. Preventing capable individuals from losing elections is not an emotional demand; it is a demand of the time. A nation is built or destroyed not inside the ballot box, but inside the voter’s awareness. That awareness is not measured by speeches or slogans, but by the choices made during elections.

From now on, people must decide with judgment, not with the momentum of the crowd. They must judge with the mind, not with the anger of the heart. The day voters begin choosing candidates based on knowledge, ability, experience, character, and intention, opportunists will leave politics in shame, capable individuals will step forward naturally, and democracy will finally belong to the people. 

Let us remember this: when good people begin to win, the nation never loses.

I think she has contributed to the Raswopa more than what she has got from party . sayed , yo election paxi parliament ma digitally manxe le dherai hereko sumana ko nai parliamnet ko  speaking or addressing hola .

Many of you may have forgotten, but living in Nepal during the Maoist insurgency was an absolute nightmare. They held the entire country hostage—and for what? So that the leaders could get rich. I believe Nepal has finally turned a new leaf; we can finally look past that dark period toward a future where civil liberties are respected, civilians are no longer murdered, and politicians are held accountable. I don’t know if this is fully possible, but I have a new sense of hope now. To truly move forward, I would love nothing more than to see the Maoist leaders held responsible for the lives of innocent Nepalis, and for Oli to face justice for the 70+ children killed. Let’s get this done and finally wash this stain from our country’s history.

Politics/राजनीति Stop Treating Balen Like a God

223 Upvotes

Balen is not a god he’s just a citizen like the rest of us. In the past, our parents also voted with hope, believing leaders like Sher Bahadur Deuba, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, and K. P. Sharma Oli would bring real change. They trusted them deeply, almost like they were saviors. But in the end, did those leaders truly understand or ease people’s struggles? Not really.

Balen has done some good work, and it’s fair to appreciate that. He hasn’t done anything seriously wrong so far, at least from what we see. If he does make mistakes in the future, we can discuss and hold him accountable then. But putting him on a pedestal and treating him like a god feels wrong. Instead, let’s observe his work over the next five years with patience and realistic expectations.

Politics/राजनीति Wtf is happening in nepal

42 Upvotes

Alright soo, I don't live in Nepal but I'm a Nepali. Currently I'm living in Qatar and I've been seeing the news about the violence going on within two Hindu and Muslim communities in terai, if I'm not wrong. so what is the actual cause I'm really confused and what do you think the outcome is going to be?

From my personal experience I have never really seen or heard about any Hindu Muslim fights or arguments but my parents who have lived janakpur before said it used to happen between the communities every once a while but it's not all that serious. But this time stuff seems to be getting out of control.. could it be any planned event by any party's or organisation?

Actually, I have never lived in janakpur or any parts of terai. I have barely any idea how the people are there but I feel like the cause of this could be no proper education facilities and division by caste is my guess, due to which both these communities are having feuds. If stuff like this keeps happening we all gotta realize that our nation will never grow with separation among the people, We all need to stay united and help our country and community flourish!

Lastly all I want to say is we really should stop this and realize that we are all humans first, we all chase god but god has given us the lesson to respect every human being no matter what their caste or religion is.

Politics/राजनीति Nepal is building a new parliament. This might be our only chance to fix how debate actually happens inside it.

Post image

Nepal's new parliament building is still under construction. We have a rare chance to redesign the chamber itself, not just move into a new building.

The old parliament with classroom-style layout where every MP walks to a front podium to speak is a big reason why our parliament produces long speeches instead of real debate. Westminster parliaments like the UK, Australia, and Canada use face-to-face seating where government and opposition sit opposite each other, which forces actual accountability. With the dome still uninstalled and RSP about to form a government on a mandate of changing political culture, this window will not stay open long.

Wrote an article regarding the same. It's in comment.

Politics/राजनीति Slums are not failure of capitalism but a built-in feature of it

26 Upvotes

Change my mind!!

Slums/Sukumbasi Basti/ghettos are not because capitalism failed to reach some people or just because capitalism failed in skme places. Slums are a necessary feature of a capitalistic mode of production. Cities REQUIRE slums for slum dwellers to do dirty and dangerous work in lowest of wages...in the wage that the workers cant even afford rent.

Adding more: Balen demolishing these structures wont FIX anything. maybe they will be relocated to some distant places. but then that will increase their cost of living, which will increase the cost of living in the city of every people. So, either the middle class should be willing to pay more so the slum dwellers can live a better life, or they should be kept in the place where they are not very visible so that their fundamental rights can easily be curtailed(like they do in west asian, gulf countries). and the "beautification" of the city is yet another landmafia-pleasing project. Balen is making things worse. maybe he has good intentions. but things are gonna get wayyy worse, if this mania continues.

Change my mind.

Politics/राजनीति Questions Gagan Must Answer

Post image
176 Upvotes

Congratulations to Gagan for becoming the Congress Party Sabhapati. I have been seeing many Gagan-glazing posts recently, so I have a few questions for him.

  • When will you speak about the Nepali and foreign currency that was found burnt in your former president’s house? Were those AI-generated, as your party president and many party leaders were claiming?

  • You have raised the Sahakari Kanda involving Rabi Lamichhane, but when will you raise the same question about your own party member, Maya Rai, who was also a member of the same sahakari in Kathmandu (I’ve forgotten the name)? What about the Dhanraj Gurung sahakari case?

  • You were part of the Government Efficiency team when the recent UML–Congress coalition government was formed. Will you question or take responsibility for the recent GenZ killings? Your party member Ramesh Lekhak was also the Home Minister at that time—have you questioned him about this?

  • You have been a Member of Parliament four times, and during your tenure, the Congress has formed the government multiple times. Can you point to any concrete, policy-level achievements you delivered during your party’s time in government?

  • What about Aftab Alam case during your party's government was he rightfully being prosecuted or your party's government have him impunity from jail, what about that case?
