After political movement 2063 in Nepal, leaders are mostly talking about change in state system, government, social, economical, personal thinking and behavior etc. I agree that change is quite necessary to the poor and traditional nation like Nepal. We need change there is no doubt. But how the change can begin replacing the existing one? It is a question to our leaders and their blind followers. Now most of the political parties are criticizing and blame other parties and only blame opposite party not ready to accept the change in all aspect of country. But the one thing I don’t understand that our leaders and their blind follower s are only talking change and revolution but why they don’t understand that first you need to change yourself , your behavior , your thinking , your way of life and life style etc. If they do not change themselves why they are asking only opposition to be changed?
Now Most of leaders have good life style and they don’t have any economic problem in their homes. They are riding a expensive cars and live a good house. They have good office building and they discuss their political matters and party work in a facilitated building and these leaders are talking about changing life style like living in a normal life, habit to use bicycle to save expenses, working in the field by educated people, keep public places, road, and nearby home clean and not to throw any dirty stuff outside etc. We Nepali people only see the bad of other and expect others to be changed but we don’t change ourselves. Most of the people don’t accept their mistakes and their weakness. First we need to change ourselves that is the beginning to bring change and make revolution in the society and ultimately in the country.
Most of the political parties cadres and local level leaders, they only spend time talking political matters and their party activities. Why they don’t go to work in the field and lead the whole villagers to increase the production by investing labors and hard work. Why our political parties don’t understand, they are making their cadres and leaders like a parasite. I mean so much depended. They only depend on their party and their government. Why they don’t go to product themselves and help the society. So, change can begin if big political parties’ leaders and cadres change themselves.
I want to show one example of President of Iran Mohamed Ahmedinejad and president of Bolivia, Evo Morales. These leaders born and grew up in the simple working class family with normal life same like our Nepalese leaders born and grew up. But these leaders have always simple way of life, they don’t show only gain cheap popularity after elected president even before elected president they were simple and they had simple life style. We see their wearing, they always appear with simple dress up and I heard the news that current president of Iran live in simple home with simple furniture. This is a one of the impressive thing for me, I may not close the idea of those leaders but it is a good quality of leadership to lead the poor and developing country.
Indian most of the top leaders they ride a car which is made in India and not expensive one too. Now it is a political culture in India and identification of leaders too. It is a positive thing and pride for their nation. Still in Nepal our leaders own a very expensive car. And they blame each other to use such a expensive car .In fact most of your leaders not only top leadership but smaller leaders they have expensive car and its common there. Why they don’t change first themselves first instead of blaming other. Nepal doesn’t have any car making company but they should establish at least for using top leadership and top government officials. It can be a message and change for people.
Our most of the leaders are talking about control corruption and wrong doing in government and parties. People have doubt about fairness of our leaders and do not believe them because they can’t show honesty in terms of financial matters. Here, most of our leaders blame opposition to be corrupted and wrong doing. It’s ridiculous to me they say themselves that they were fair and did not commit any financial wrong doing. It’s okay but where is the result if they did not do any fraud and wrong doing, we people should get good result in terms of economic development and infrastructure development.
My main concern here to write this article is that first we should change ourselves and other person may follow that same and that way we can go forward to bring change. If we only blame and criticize other and expect others to be changed not themselves first then it would be ridiculous. It would be worthless to talking about change. First be a good person yourself and don’t do any wrong doing and only work for good then that would be one step to bring change in country and society.
