Nepal Second peaceful nation’ in South Asia 2012

Nepal has found the second spot after Bhutan as the most peaceful country in South Asia in the latest Global Peace Index (GPI) released late on Tuesday.

The study, conducted by the Australia and US-based Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), has ranked Nepal in the 80th place after Bhutan among the 158 nations it took into account.

While India figures much behind, in the 142nd position, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan have been ranked 103rd, 91st and 149th among the countries respectively.

Bhutan tops in South Asia in the GPI with the 19th position, while China has slid in the peace index, standing 89th as against the 80th position last year.

According to the report, deaths related to internal conflict, displaced people, weapons export, heavy weapons, armed service personnel, death from external conflict, weapon imports and jailed population have declined in Nepal.

The report also claimed that the world was more peaceful in 2011 as powerful nations had austerity-driven defence cuts.

The survey studied 23 indicators across 158 countries, ranging from measures of civil unrest and crime to military spending, involvement in armed conflict and relations with neighbours.

Aside from the deterioration in the Middle East, every other region in the world showed at least some improvement.

In Asia, despite worries over a growing arms race and geopolitical rivalry between China and the United States, the overall defence spending appeared roughly flat and conflict slightly down.

Constituent Assembly dissolved, Nepali Politics failed

The Constituent Assembly (CA) is dissolved without delivering the new constitution after witnessing four years of political brinkmanship.

The CA got dissolved after the parties failed to reach consensus on the restructuring of the state.

The formation of the CA for the first time in the history of Nepal was the key agenda of the people's movement, 2007 that put monarchy to an end by declaring the country as the democratic republic.

Initially the CA was mandated for two years to complete the task of constitution writing but due to the failure of the political parties to promulgate the constitution within stipulated time, the CA amended the interim constitution in the capacity of the legislature parliament and extended the deadline four times.

On November 25 last year, giving its final verdict on a writ petition challenging repeated extension of the CA's term, the Supreme Court made a verdict that CA's term can be extended only one more time and that the Assembly will be defunct if the constitution is not promulgated within the extended term.
On May 22, The government registered 13th constitution amendment bill in the parliament to pave way for three month extension of the term of the Constituent Assembly going against November 25 SC verdict. However, responding the writs filed against the government move, the Court on May 24 issued a ruling to the government, asking it not to proceed with its decision to extend the term of the CA that ended all the possibilities of the CA term extension.
As the parties could not find common ground on the key issues related to constitution drafting despite series of discussions till the night of May 27, the deadline day for the promulgation of the new constitution, the CA expired without delivering the new constitution. nepalnews

Four political forces close to deal on federalism based on multiple identities as House secretariat prepares preliminary draft of constitution

May 27 last day of Nepal Constitution

May 27 2012, Last day of Nepal Constitution,

A new constitution is widely seen as crucial to helping end the instability that has plagued Nepal since the end of a Maoist-led civil war in 2006 and subsequent overthrow of the monarchy, but it has been thwarted by demands for the country to be divided into states along ethnic lines.

The debate has sparked violent protests in recent weeks and ethnic groups have staged demonstrations near the parliament building where a Constituent Assembly of politicians has until midnight to end its haggling and agree on the new charter.

If it misses the deadline set by the Supreme Court, the assembly – which doubles as a parliament – will be dissolved, creating a power vacuum and risking further unrest in a poverty-stricken nation dependent on aid and tourism.

“The demands for ethnic autonomy have become so strong that if they are not addressed they could lay the seeds for further conflict as happed in Sri Lanka and Aceh,” said Kunda Dixit, editor of the Nepali Times weekly.

Rallies were banned around key government buildings in Kathmandu, including the prime minister’s office, as the clock ticked towards the deadline, and parliament was ringed by helmeted riot police behind concertina wire barricades.

The Rajdhani daily said the army was on high alert and ready to step in if police fail to maintain security in the capital.

Ethnic tension

Prolonged instability in Nepal, which sits on the source of rivers that supply water to millions in South Asia, could suck neighbors China and India into competition for influence there. Both are important aid donors and trade partners for Nepal.

Diplomats say that because of its political uncertainty Nepal has failed to exploit the export potential presented by the rapid growth of its giant neighbors and investors have avoided the country. The economy grew by 3.5 percent last year, its lowest rate in four years.

The new constitution is a key part of the peace deal struck with the Maoists to end their revolt. But an agreement on the charter has been elusive and the assembly has missed several deadlines already because of deep divisions over the number, boundaries and names of the nation’s states.

The assembly is dominated by the Maoists, who waged their revolt on a pledge to empower the country’s many ethnic groups after centuries of exclusion and discrimination.

The Maoists want the creation of up to 14 states named after ethnic groups, and are backed by several small Madhesi parties demanding an autonomous state in the country’s southern plains.

“A constitution is not possible without federal states recognizing the identity of ethnic groups,” said senior Maoist leader Narayankaji Shrestha.

The Maoists’ political rivals say carving up the nation along ethnic lines will stoke tension between different castes.

Ram Sharan Mahat, a Nepali Congress party leader, said the Maoists “want to kill the assembly, not make the constitution” and stay in power.

About Gautam Buddha

Biography of Gautam Buddha
Siddhārtha Gautama (Sanskrit: सिद्धार्थ गौतम; Pali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher who founded Buddhism.^[1] In most Buddhist traditions, he is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (P. sammāsambuddha, S. samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age, "Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." ^{[note 1]} The time of his birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE,^[2] but more recent opinion dates his death to between 486 and 483 BCE or, according to some, between 411 and 400 BCE.^[3][4] Some of the inscriptions found from Orissa make historians believe that Buddha was born in a village Kapileswara near Bhubaneswar, Odisha based on many evidences including the Ashokan inscriptions.^[5][6][7][8] Based on archeological evidences and inscriptions, Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal^[9][10] which is a UNESCO world heritage site.^[11] He later taught primarily throughout regions of eastern India such as Magadha and Kośala.^[12][13]
Gautama, also known as Śākyamuni ("Sage of the Śākyas"), is the primary figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. Various collections of teachings attributed to him were passed down by oral tradition, and first committed to writing about 400 years later.
He is also regarded as a god or prophet in other world religions or denominations, including Hinduism, Ahmadiyya Islam^[14] and the Bahá'í faith.

Where does Gautam Buddha born?

All over the world, lots of people might be interested to know that where does Gautam Buddha born?
Ideally, its only Nepal. In all the history, Buddha was born in Nepal at Lumbini district,  we know very well about this. But Do any one know that apart from nepali, all over the world , people think that Buddha was born in India.
In one indian movie, it was already told that Buddha was born in India. Recently Indian government add a topic into the syllabus of  lower class explaining that Buddha was born in India. In fact. now a days indian BBAJI are doing publicity that Buddha was born in India. We Nepali are not aware about this matter, and people from all over the world think that Buddha was born in India.
With the help of this articles, I want to correct this wrong publicity regarding the Buddha to all over the world that BUDDHA WAS BORN IN NEPAL (LUMBINI, KAPILBASTU). His real is Siddartha Gautam.

Why India say that Buddha was born in India??
As we all know India is always dominating Nepal from many year, right from political to business area, India want to take over Nepal. IN most of the India-Nepal border, they have expanded their land by capturing Nepalese land & throw away the Nepalese people. India don't want Nepal as developed country, the fact is most of the Indian peoples from UP, Bihar are living just because of Nepal, their business, their work is due to Nepal. All Nepal is filled up by UP and Biharis  and Maades. If Nepal became developed country, all the UP Biharis will have to go back to India and India will have lots of problem, so India never want  Nepal to become developed country.
 As we can see, India is saying that Mount Everest is also in India, What a great joke.
So, lets tell all the people in the world that the symbol of peace BUDDHA was born in Nepal .

CA term extended by another three months

How many days added for  Constitution of Nepal? Days Extended to write Constitution of Nepal.
3 month added to write Constitution of Nepal again.
The Constituent Assembly (CA) term has been extended by another three months. The Legislature Parliament passed the ninth amendment to the interim constitution Sunday morning to extend the CA term.
This is the second time the CA term has been extended. Initially elected for a period of two years in 2008 the CA term had been extended for a period of one year on May 28 last year. Political parties sought another extension as the task of constitution drafting has still not been completed.
As we know all these politics are playing very worst game with Nepal and Nepalese. To continue this game, to kill more innocent Nepali people, to finish Law and Order in Nepal at the last moment of deadline, three more months added and proved they are just only for finishing the Nepal not for develop.

My analysis:
We don't mind to add 3 more months to write Constitution of Nepal though they have already wasted lots of time just fighting with each other in the parliament, if they can write the Constitution with in 3 months then its the best for Nepal,
But,
Are these play men are really serious about Nepal & Nepalese future? Work they can't don in 2 year, can they finish in just 3 months?? Does these guys will not repeate those nonsense activities for being Minister and will be serious for Nepal?
Lest Start from biggest party Maoist,
The one who has killed lot of innocent nepali people can understand feeling of Nepali? If yes the Why Prachanda couls not hold his position while he is give to become Prime Minister? IN his 9 month of prime minister duration what he did?? As we remember, he visited lot of countries, cut lots of ribbon in manny function but didn't solve any Nepalese problem.Yes he bought a bed that cost 1.5 lacks in his home, but his fighter are still sleeping in the ground. Now sometime he play game with Baburam and Mohan Baidha  by exchanging them. Again in this CA extended term also Maoist are on their condition, then how can we believe that these MOIST can lead the country with peace?? because they know to talk with gun not with peace language.
Regarding UML,
As we have already seen that, Jhal Nath Khanal has negotiate with Maoist along by ignoring other party leader just for shake of being Prime minister. The one who can be bought by any other party if they show him for any good post, the leader who can betray his party member then they how can we believe that he will be serious for Nepal  & Neplease?
About Nepali Congress,
Nepali Congress was one of the good party at the time of BP, but where does those philosophy gone? The party who can't recover the land captured by Maoist even after hand shaking with them, if Congress can't secure their land, how can they secure land of other Nepali People???
Along with these three major party,
lots of small party are also looking chance for any good position.
So according to current activities, its not possible to write constitution of Nepal in this manner if they don't think about Nepal seriously.
Most important thing is, all these 3 parties are controlled remotely by foreign people. Main home of these leader is Delhi, So until they don't start working together by ignoring foreign power, Nepal can't be peace & developed, because politics leader that we have currently are just to rape Nepal & Nepalese,
Some time I guess, If India ask these political leader to send their sister/mother, they will say YES for money.

In spite of  so many bad performance, we Nepali are still hoping to have Constitution with in 3 months,
I request all Nepalese to share your views, specially who are in abroad and with in Nepal, we never knows that this small voice can lead an shameful message and these political leader start thinking about Nepali?
