As we rush through life!

In Washington, DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.  During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. About 3 minutes: The violinist received his first dollar.  A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. At 6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. At 45 minutes: The musician played continuously.  Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while.  About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace.  The man collected a total of $32.  After 1 hour: He finished playing and silence took over.  No one noticed and no one applauded.  There was no recognition at all. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world.  He played one of the most intricate pieces eve

MAHA NEPAL OR GREATER NEPAL -- The Latest Craze in Nepal; PART - II

(This is concluding part of same article PART -I)



In 1857, the history changed its course as India’s first war of independence altered the fate of British East India Company. The Crown took over the charge directly after English soldiers with their native army could defeat the rebellion. This was a jolt for the Crown. However, peoples of Nepalese origin in British army the“Gurkha” played a formidable role for British to suppress the Indian uprising or war of independence that British termed skillfully as ‘Sepoy Mutiny’. The expert English officers in British army could recognize the excellent valor of ‘Gurkhas’ in war- field. There after, ‘Gurkha’ soldiers became indispensable for British Army. They are so even now. Last war British used them was Falkland war against Argentina in recent past.

Now with monarchy gone and became a part of Nepal’s history. The present Maoist government is keeping close tie with their Chinese godfathers. Taking clue from Chinese aggressive policy, they too have started claiming their lost territory in India; threatening India’s integration. With British East India Company being extinct, they claim the treaty with them is invalid. Therefore, they have rights over the area as shown in the ‘map’ of last post. This fallacious claim is gaining popularity with ordinary Nepali citizens and brewing an inimical sentiment against India.
Unfortunately, Indian government is totally overlooking this development. No union minister commented anything on the issue. May be, they think, such comments will bring misunderstanding between two countries. But if such propaganda continues in this India’s neighboring country, in near future with Chinese provocation Nepal may take the same stand as their Chinese godfathers. So some protest should be made and matter should be brought in the notice of international community.

The Colonialist started occupying Nepali Territories after the so called Sugauli Treaty of 1816. It was not a treaty, the British took advantage of Nepal Army's set back in couple of fronts in the war. Treaty is done in equal footing. It was a treachery in part of the British. When the British left in 1947, they created two countries India and Pakistan. They made two wings of Pakistan, West Pakistan and East Pakistan. The intention of the British was to create everlasting fight between majority Hindu India and Islamic Pakistan. India helped born a new county Bangladesh out of East Pakistan. India, virtually helped freedom fighter to get independence from Pakistan. India succeeded in creating two countries out of Pakistan. It was in India's interest as well. Make Pakistan weak.

It is so ironic that when British decolonized India and were forced to grant independence to India. They should have returned Nepali territories they had unfairly occupied back to Nepal. Unfortunately, they did take the easy way out and left the occupied Nepali territories to India. Had there been some demand from Nepal the lost territories would have been reverted back to Nepal. When British were granting independence to India, Nepal was under the autocratic Rana rule. The Ranas did not want to displease the then Indian leadership, they probably thought their regime could not last if they did not have the blessings from Indian leadership. The Ranas did not raise the question of returning Nepali territories. In fact, in legal and technical terms when the British decolonized India and left the Nepali territories they had occupied since 1816 should have been returned to Nepal. Therefore, the concept of
Greater Nepal had to be raised before India became independent. India is well aware of this fact and she has been playing game to encroach further in Nepal. India is responsible in unstable political situation in Nepal since Indian independence. Her plan is to create situation like in Sikkim and annex Nepal. That is the reason India never supported Nepal's desire to be declared a zone of peace as proposed by late king Birendra. All the countries that Nepal proposed including all super powers and major countries in the world endorsed this idea of "zone of peace". India never accepted this idea and agreed to declare Nepal as zone of peace. In fact, Nepal was really peaceful before until two decades ago. India is just looking for the situation for a direct intervention. That is why she has been using all the corrupt politicians including Maoist of Nepal to start ethnic fights among Nepalis and then intervene in Nepal. However, this is only a wishful thinking of the Indians, brave Nepali will never let this happen. Nepalis all over the world will unite and craze for Greater Nepal will become a reality soon.

A "Bullet proof" of our trueself !

The recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai has raised another question. It is not from the public in general;in India public,s voice is not suppressed but simply ignored. Our great politicians with their hide that could put Rhinos ashamed have learnt the best art of governing in a way that can match a dictator but unfortunately with democracy! This time it is no lesser than a cabinet minister Anatuley; who raised the question about those bullet proof jackets , what mocked its name presenting us the bullet ridden bodies of it's wearers. That too, a man like Karkare, a man of principal and unearthed the skeletons of Malegaon massacre masterminds, digging the moral grave of our politicians. The other question is who the man was to order all the three of them together, who were shoveling the Malegaon episode! That too, they were sent to a comparatively far less hazardous terror spot. Who killed them? It reminds me inscriptions on the back of highway trucks "My India is great"

DARJEELING - THE HISTORY

“DARJEELING”, the very name of this hill station in India reminds you the colonial days and tea. Because it was the British colonizers; who were constantly on look out for cooler places, obviously in India it uses to be in hills what would remind them their home. The temperature in tropical countries, particularly in summer months use to be unbearable for them for mercury touching anywhere between 35 to 44 degree Celsius! In India Shimla and Darjeeling earned their reputation for hosting the colonial administrators with their staffs with families during summer months for running colonial administration for years. Though with English rulers, gone are the colonial days and prestige of Darjeeling, but it still holds name in world for its tea. It still the producer of world number one flavored tea and sold at a price, unthinkable for we ordinary mortals! Off late, a new hue for Gorkhaland is raised time and again. It stared in the decades of 90s, lot of agitations, number of strikes call

MAHA NEPAL OR GREATER NEPAL -- The Latest Craze in Nepal; PART - I

Parvez Iqbal Siddique; a correspondent in north India, wrote back in 2005 an article citing the boiling Nepalese’s sentiment for ‘Maha Nepal’. The new Maoist government in Nepal is all the way supporting the demand for ‘Maha Nepal’ that should chunk out a good portion of Indian territory covering the area between Nepal’s border and the Tista valley in east and up to Kangra ( Sutlej river) in west. However, this news grossly escaped the notice of Indian politicians and policy makers keep afar the Indian citizens. No furor rose anywhere in this issue.  Many articles are published since past two decades in various Nepalese newspapers and magazines in this issue. In support of this claim, the promulgators of ‘Maha Nepal’ are citing history.  They claim the ancient Nepal was far bigger than what it is now, though that goes without any historical evidence. During the regime of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, in 1744 Nepalese army went on war for re-integration of its lost territory. The war bro
