We have been handed a constitution, certainly not by a feudal lord but by a committee no less feudal

Sep 24, 2015-As much as one had a craving for commending the new constitution, similar to Maoist pioneer Baburam Bhattarai, it was hard to abstain from being pulled in diverse bearings by blended emotions. Cheering in the way that we at any rate got something out of an activity that was starting to look relentless, and not on account of, as Maoist supremo Prachanda asserted, it flagged the time's end when primitive rulers presented a constitution unto the general population (more on that later). Be that as it may, additionally very exasperates that our decision triumvirate thought it fit to cheer with relinquish when the disposition was most likely all around dismal in huge parts of the Tarai. 

Not being anyplace near a protected master, I would not know whether our new constitution is the most dynamic in all of South Asia, as the Nepali Congress Vice-President, Ram Chandra Poudel, broadcasted it to be. What I know is that any constitution proclaimed even as individuals are passing on in challenge would require some speedy and radical update on the off chance that it is to last by any stretch of the imagination. 

Falsification of lack of awareness 

It is fairly interesting that the new troika running the nation keeps on attempting to urge the upsetting gatherings that savagery will lead no place and that they are prepared for talks. One marvel on the off chance that they even delay to look back at their own ancestry. No less than two of the gatherings, the Nepali Congress and the UCPN-Maoist, are the place they are presently as a result of a resort to outfitted battle. What's more, despite the fact that there is legitimacy in the contention that all issues can be determined through dialog in a majority rules system, it presupposes a cleverness on the individuals who wield power that our pioneers have demonstrated painfully unequipped for illustrating. For, whether it was the Maoist rebellion or the 2007 uprising in the Tarai, it was strictly when delayed brutality that the rulers stooped to start transactions. 

Sadly, we are seeing a rehash of this propensity. Everybody realized that regardless of how the division of the government units was to be attempted, there would be some measure of disappointment. Be that as it may, to expect that on the grounds that the three gatherings have the obliged numbers in the Constituent Assembly (CA), and announcing that they had been given a free hand to however they wanted not the most strategic method for starting a dialogic procedure. 

More troubling is the way in which the decision trio fake lack of awareness about the requests of the disappointed, and rehash endlessly their availability to examine the "certified" requests. It would spare everybody a ton of inconvenience in the event that they dropped that falsification since they appear to be very much aware of the significant wellsprings of disappointment and the confirmation of that is the one-sided drafting of established procurements that seem to address some of those. Could our pioneers not even see the incongruity in their call to repudiate brutality while attempting to assuage the same gatherings blamed for taking part in savagery? Why does it generally take lives lost and societal amicability put under strain for the forces to have the capacity to act? 

It might be ideal on the off chance that they could pronounce what requests they consider to be "certifiable" and what inside and out negligible. For, right now, it appears that anything the decision gatherings are prepared to trade off on are "bona fide" and the rest not really. That positively is not the most favorable premise for an authentic dialog. 

No less fuedal 

Presently, on to Prachanda and his obvious fulfillment at having guaranteed a constitution gone by the CA. That is only legitimate skullduggery for, aside from the one refinement that the constitution was voted on by CA individuals, the general purpose of having a CA was completely undermined. In the event that the motivation behind the CA was to elastic stamp choices made by a little cadre of pioneers, we could have been saved all the sham of having a CA in any case. Passing by what the CPN-UML pioneer Madhav Kumar Nepal reviewed about the 1990 constitution-drafting procedure in which he had assumed a key part, there appears to have been a franker trade of perspectives and more key bargains then—also some deception with respect to a portion of the more traditionalist individuals among those tasked with composing the constitution. 

The primary's soul CA that had expected free-streaming exchanges on every single sacred procurement unhampered by gathering position had as of now been upset with the counter's development abandonment law in 2010 to apply to the CA too, accordingly controlling any between gathering disputes. We all made a major hullaballoo about how the first CA was among the most comprehensive authoritative bodies on the planet. In any case, that incredible differing qualities among our decent individuals and expected verbalization of intrigues particular to their social gathering was rendered disputable by that most effective of apparatuses in a Westminster-style vote based system, the gathering whip. Thus, we have now been given a constitution, unquestionably not by a primitive ruler but rather by a board no less medieval in its standpoint. 

Hypocrises of the UML 

One may review that not long after the second CA was chosen, the UML had issued a diktat to its administrators that they were to be clad in daura-suruwal in the CA. Gone was the nation's acknowledgment tremendous social differing qualities of the first CA, most unmistakable on that inaugural day when it voted out the government, and in its place was requested an inflexible regimentation reminiscent of the one-dress Panchayat time. Be that as it may, when it likewise requested its units to be decked up in their ethnic luxury at the celebratory tea party it composed.
