First of all I wish happy New Year 2066 to all Nepali people. I really miss celebrating New Year with my family with good mood, and good food that is would be the environment of my home in new year . I really hope this New Year will be the milestone for our troubled country Nepal. In Nepal, We are in the process of drafting new constitutions and for that we need a strong leadership with mutual understanding and cooperation with all the political power and organizations. I hope this year we will get new constitution as per the people aspiration and need of the country and Nepal will again head with the path of development and prosperity by forgetting all the past bitter. I wish new year will bring new message and feeling among all Nepali that we are only and truly Nepali wherever we live, whatever caste or ethnics group we are, whatever language we speak and we Nepali should not divide just because of political ideology, caste, language and race, we should keep in mind that this is a 21st century, this is the era of peace, love, equality, development and justice. I wish New Year 2066 will completely remove the 20 hour horrible load shedding which is shame for all Nepali. Even after ending Maoist violence some 3 years ago, Nepali people are still feeling insecure and killings, looting, kidnapping and threaten to common people is prevailing that is too sad for us. I wish New Year will give some kind of message and wisdom to our political leadership. Because of bad political leadership, we Nepali could not go forward with a good sprite and strong commitment for the nation building. We Nepali need god vision and strong commitment for purpose of nation building. We need good education that is need of an hour and we need infrastructure for economic development. We Nepali should leave the bad political culture and we should quit completely participating political rally and running behind bad politician. We Nepali should always love our motherland, it does not matter where we live but we should do whatever we can for the nation.
Everything is good in Nepal except politics, political leaders and few people, administrators who always in the surrounding of these bad politician for their ill motive. That is the major hindrance of Nepal. We Nepali got complete sovereignty from King but we never get escape from bad politician and their government. I wish New year will give wisdom to all of us that we will not go again to these bad politician and we all Nepali should feel that only political leaders and government cannot develop the country. We all Nepali go forward ourselves with the aspiration of development and good result of the country. We should not depend and believe that political leaders are major driver of the country, No No!!!That’s not right; we people are more responsible and can do really something with a truly good objective. Political leaders have always have interest and it is not true they have always capability to handle the development project.
I wish New Year will give us wisdom and capability that we will quit and leave all the bad culture that is prevailing in our country and society. We Nepali are recognizing as a brave people because of our history, that is so proud history. In 21st century, I hope Nepali people should recognize as laborious people, peace loving and helpful people that should be the identity.
I wish New Year will give us wisdom and capability, that we will overcome all the indiscipline and abiding rule and regulation character in the society. Discipline and following rule of law and regulation is need of an hour in the country. Everywhere there is chaos and lack of unity, I wish New Year will bring some kind of message to unite all Nepali.
At last I wish happy New Year again to all of us. We should keep in mind always, we can develop our country but we should follow action only, Not only talking and offering sweet words. I believe action speak louder than voice.

My view about the new constitution in Nepal, whatever I know or I assume.
Constitution is a prime law of the state where all the political, judicial, executive, federal authority, rights, rules and regulations as well all the necessary laws needed to run the everyday function of country is included in the constitutions. So, it is very important for the country and its people. It is a backbone for a democratic and lawful state.
Now, Nepal is in the process of drafting new constitution through the constituent assembly that was elected by people in 2008 April. It’s really a good idea and democratic process. But since 1 year after CA election, there is no one line of constitution is written yet. It’s sad to say that. Constituent Assembly even doesn’t present the structure of constitution yet and there are so much speculation, argument, differences and debate for the drafting new constitutions. Nepal is already declared Republic and there is no more king rule and kingship. Most of the political parties have decided to go for federalism. Still, there are so many differences about how the federal state is divided. Some factions are saying state should be identified and designed based on the ethnic and language of the particular region and some factions are saying to design based on geography and economic potentiality etc. There are so many option comes out regarding government system like presidential system or prime ministerial system to govern the nation.
Nepal is a largely mix society. I don’t see there is any region or place in Nepal where only a single ethnic group or language is dominant or in majority. Actually, Nepal is a country of minority. There are so many ethnics, languages and religious people but no single ethnic group is in majority. So, it is not a good idea to divide the country only based on ethnic people and language. It may create problem and division among the people and might bring conflicts. Everyone should keep in mind that this is 21st century and nobody can rule and to be ruled in the country and society. I don’t understand why our leaders and their followers are becoming foolish and they are thinking such a way which is not practical and not appropriate for nation as well. There are so many languages like around 100 languages. But Nepali language is very common, it is the fact. Everybody speaks Nepali. If everybody speaks Nepali in Nepal then it is very good for nation, what’s wrong. It is true that we should preserve other language, culture because Nepal is a diverse country by its people, culture and language. Diversity is our strength and beautiful ornaments of the country. Why this facts don’t understand by people. Nepal is very small country by area and even by population too. This is really a beautiful country with varieties of landscape, mountains, and climate and its scenic beauty. We can develop Nepal as a heaven. For this we people should not only divided and stop just because of ethnic, language, caste and religion. We should be open mind and help each other to develop our country. Our main problem is poverty, unemployment, lack of education and poor infrastructure; we should unite and fight against all the things that is quite important. Only drafting constitution, and dividing country by caste, ethnic and languages cannot solve the problem, it’s just a political system and division of country by caste and ethnic bases can be harmful and it may brings new kind of conflicts in the society. I don’t have any objection to go federalism but I assume that Nepal can be developed without federalism too. Now, the debate of federalism is so high, there is so many differences among people and Nepal can be deadlock due to the only debate and fight for these things. It would be very bad this time if country cannot go ahead.
In my view, there should a both president and prime minister to lead the government with the concept of power separation. President should be directly elected by people and prime minister should be elected by parliament. President should have rights to see the foreign policy, head of state, army supreme commander, major economic policy, passing bills or rejecting, decide major issue like treaty etc. and prime minister should have rights to lead the government’s administrative job, formulate plan and implement, run development project etc. Such power separation can help t lead the country with good leadership. Both Prime Minister and President cannot dissolve the parliament; this law must be implemented strictly. Only Supreme Court can decide regarding this issue.
It is wise not to divide country on the basis of caste and ethnic group but rather it can be divided based on the geography and political basis. There should be local government which is will plan and implement all the development project coordinating with central government. Each federal state should be lead by directly elected governor of the state and his/her tenure should be 3 or 4 years and governor can be sacked by parliament majority if he/she did some wrong doing.
The entire parliament member, Ministers, President and Prime Minister should have certain level of educational or academic background. At least 10+2 pass people can be MP and ministers, but to be president and prime minister, they must have at least bachelor level education. This must be clearly mentioned in the constitutions.
Major treaty with foreign country should be passing through referendum, so that directly people can participate to decide such big issue.
Nepali should be our official language, but we should recognize all the language like Tharu, Maitihili, Rai, Limbu, Bhojpuri, Tamang, Magar etc. There should be right to study in mother tongue and it should be implemented strictly. English should be a prime medium of language in school and university because this is 21st century global world, and English is the only language which is spoken all over the world.
Education should be fundamental rights of all people living in the country; it must be guarantee in new constitutions.
These are the things which I have seen flatly and I guess this issue should be resolve first in the constitutions. I don’t believe only in good constitution, constitution was not a problem of Nepal , our main problem is failure leadership and their ill motive to stay in government and always stay with the periphery of their cronies , cadres and blind followers.
