If Nepal replaces the fuel imported with its own hydropower, might be a better step for the country's economy. It might be the right step for Nepal to pay heed to increase domestic consumption rather than international electricity trade.         Nepal has a high probability of having hydro energy because it has sufficient sources of water but has not been able to utilize it for a long time. It is estimated that Nepal is capable of producing about 80,000 MW of hydroelectric power. Really, it is a golden dream that has been assumed for a long time, but the dream has not been converted into reality so far. Recently, Nepal started to sell 39 MW of electricity to India under an agreement between the two nations’ power authorities. This amount is merely symbolic for now. To this little change, a large hue and cry in the Nepali news media that Nepal’s dream become true.   Nepal has crossed a century since the then King Prithivi Virvikram Shah inaugurated the first ...

The Brussels meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, NATO , on July 14, accused China of its "systematic aggression", just one day after the G7 summit that also concluded with a hard-looking approach to China. As usual, Beijing denied the NATO accusation and said that the security system in China is only based on defensive use. An articulation was there that the US-China tussle would not be on the edge but would stay at the soft point in the post Trump era, but the situation was seemingly going against us. It shows that the forthcoming future of the world will not be free from a power confrontation between America and China. The 47th G7 summit concluded in the heavenly place of Cornwall, Britain, on 13 June. The leaders of the United States of America, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, and the European Union leaders attended the summit. The leaders of Australia, India, South Korea and South Africa were invited to the summit. The summ...

It had a strong dominance over them, but geopolitical norms have slowly shifted against Indian interests...

      After the return of the NATO forces from Afghanistan will be dominated by the Taliban. How they drive Afghanistan after the withdrawal of the NATO force? Really they committed to peace and prosperity.             Twenty years later, the NATO army, led primarily by the United States, is withdrawing from Afghanistan on September 11th. After Donald Trump’s Republican government, Democratic Joe Biden also did not change this policy on Afghanistan. Although he extends the withdrawal date from May to September, the Taliban is not looking satisfied with the additional time of withdrawal. Perhaps Biden wants to give a marking a symbol between the army withdrawal date and the terrorist attack of 11 th September 2001 in the name of managing security after the withdrawal of NATO forces. Australia, one of NATO's non-member supporters, will also close its embassy in Kabul in May. Other NATO allies have been feeling the burden of the unendi...

Democracy  is not a single event of time or incident but a regular process. So the process of its r eformation  is also regular work. Even with the decades-long practice of democracy, Eastern countries are not able to bring cleanliness to the system. An old man with a wrinkled face told a real story of foul play during the political election. If we accept the direct monarchy, which was a feudal type of autocratic system up to 1990; aftermath I rarely saw fair elections, but the first election that the Maoist party was the distorted election in the name of democracy – he said with a satirical smile. Balance of Power, timely election, the rule of law and transparency are the basic foundations of democracy, but beliefs are always violated. I felt that the aged man was well known about democracy. Amid the talk, he said that he was also a contestant in a local election.   At that moment, the rain started to fall. He put an umbrella on it to avoid the rain. He was speaking in...

Covid is running with an orgy in its variant character, while governments and political parties' irresponsibility is looking very careless. The crowded election campaigns had reached a climax in India. Political leaders were involved in large-scale mass gatherings. In Nepal, a similar game is being played to determine whether the government should remain in power or be deposed. Processions in support or protest were often convened.

In the ruling Communist Party of Nepal, the dispute between them had crossed all the boundaries of principle and dignity. Filthy debates were not based on the common political ground but only to gain power and benefits. Consequently, some group lords are in trouble now. The effect is still seen after the dismissal of that party by the Supreme Court.
