You are right,joti. But you have ommitted some vital names in this list ….The Mallas, The Kirats,The Sens and all the feudal lords of 22 and 24 rajyas of Nepal before the formation of Modern Nepal. Deliberate or ignorance ……….???
. In democracy there is no inheritance a, only election by majority. And if people elect koiralas, sherbahadur, prakashmansingh,prachanda, baburam, thesy deserve it. Unfortunately, in the history of Nepal every replacement is proving more corrupt and cruel. And people are accepting it with applaud. Our whole correction of political system is centered on throwing away each other since old time. That’s why so much insecurity and unaccountability are prevalent in National political system causing rampant corruption.
Someone has already inherited someone, and somebody will inherit him tomorrow. All Nepalese are e aiming to inherit each other paving way for the stranger to have the final loaf.
Don’t make your writing only the expression of lamenting and hatred in incomplete thinking and knowledge. Rather, let’s make this meeting point act as a real sambidhan sabha of Nepal. No offence meant, no hard feeling.

NEPAL BECOMING A DRUG PARADISE
Nepal is fast becoming a drug paradise. Kathmandu, Pokhara, Nepalgunj, Birgunj and other border posts are facilitating businesses for drug commuters. While the political bigwigs are busy dog-fighting and horse-trading for power, money and violence the new generation of youths is fast sliding into the drug hell. The families are being shattered and the communities are becoming more and more dangerous everyday because of the crimes induced by drug, politics of violence and ethnic hatred.
It is feared more than 30% of the youths between 14 and 25 are addicted to drugs like sedatives, marijuana, hashish, tdzesic and heroine. We can see a harrowing scenario – political parties using them for violence and crime, young generation (girls included increasingly) sliding into addiction and the few sensible and carrying hope for future are leaving the country for job or for reason understood.
The situation in other countries is different. There is death penalty for drug dealers in Thailand and 2,819 people were executed between February-April 2003 alone for drug dealing charges. A guy, Nguyen Tuong Van was hanged at Singapore’s Changi prison in 2008 being caught with 14 ounces of heroin at Changi International Airport during a stopover between Cambodia and Australia. Kevin John Barlow and Brian Geoffrey Chambers were hanged in Malaysia in 1986 for trafficking five ounces of heroin. Indonesian drug laws prescribe the death penalty for narcotics trafficking and up 20 years in prison for marijuana offenses. In Philippines the law prescribes the death penalty for drug traffickers caught with at least 0.3 ounce of opium, morphine, heroin, cocaine, marijuana resin, or at least 17 ounces of marijuana. In Singapore the Misuse of Drugs Act is very strict and persons caught with at least half an ounce of heroin, at least 1 ounce of morphine or cocaine, or at least 17 ounces of marijuana are presumed to be trafficking in drugs, and face a mandatory death penalty. 400 people were hanged for drug trafficking in Singapore between 1991 and 2004 alone. In India 2008 Ghulam Malik, was sentenced to death by a special public prosecutor according to article 31-A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS). He was caught with hashish in Ahmedbad. There is death penalty for drug trafficker and distributer in the USA. The laws of at least fifteen states now require life sentences for certain nonviolent marijuana offenses. In Montana, a life sentence can be imposed for growing a single marijuana plant or selling a single joint. In BEIJING in June 25 (Xinhua) Eight people were sentenced to death for drug production and trafficking and were executed just last Thursday the day which was observed as International Day Against Drug Abuse and illicit trafficking. (source: various publicly available documents)
These comments tell only a small part of what is being done to curb drug trafficking and drug use in their countries. While we could not all agree on the method of how they deal with the problem this, however, affirms the fact that the countries in the world are serious about saving their people and their coming generation from going to hell.
The condition in Nepal has been a matter of great concern over the years. Things have only worsened in the recent years as the parties with their criminal motivation do not hesitate to groom the drug dealers and users. Dangerous drugs like hashish and heroin are available just like anything. There are wholesalers, retailers and door to door distributors. It would be simplistic to assume that they are able to hide from the police. The police just turn their heady away from them. Even when somebody is arrested red hand through reliable leads the police has a tendency to linger on the cases in the name of collecting evidence what actually is done is destroying the evidence. Therefore, one should not be surprised if there are police personnel doing their duty and the drug users consuming drugs beside each other. There are occasional cases of drug arrests in the airport. Rare is a case of arrests bringing in. The arrests in Hanuman Dhoka Police station have the same story. Sporadic arrests end up with under the table deals. Rarely can people hear the stories of legal actions for such culprits. So who is the real culprit ?
Who is going to save this country ? Why is nobody serious about this ? Drug dealers are the big part of the problem our country is facing.

Ro,
we asian are known suffering the silence, let’s not be so silent again because our children / next generation will have problem, try to welcome the expression of hatred! In western world, people welcome the comment, they think that comment brings outcomes and solves the problems! let’s have debate, allow people who were suppressed first by Rana, then Shah..King and now Koirala (Bramin/chhetri)!

the only way forward for solving this problem is to dismantle inheritance of bramin/chettri’s politics!!! let’s give a chance to other castes ???
