Any idea who is Shekhar Gurung? I am sure you do know him. He came to limelight when Gyanendra’s autocracy was in climax. Shekhar Gurung was appointed the Zonal administrator, a post created by the royal regime to strengthen the autocratic hold in the state of affairs, for Bagmati Zone. With the restoration of democracy in April, the likes of Shekhar Gurung went on hiding from public eyes. Not anymore. The agents of regression have made a comeback. Thanks to the pro-democratic, pro-republican Janajatis who provided him a forum today by organizing Nepal Banda, the general strike.
“I was coming to office this afternoon,” said Hari Bahadur Thapa, chief reporter at Kantipur daily. “Some people stopped me near Kupandole and one of them asked for my [press] identity card. I was shocked to see that the person who was demanding my identity was no other than Shekhar Gurung.” Shekhar Gurung inspected Thapa’s ID and told, “Ok, You are from the press. Go.”
I always thought royalists had infiltrated into the agitation in Terai and other parts,” Thapa said. “Today’s incident was yet another solid proof about the royalist involvement in destabilizing the democratic government. This is also a matter of shame for the organizers of today’s Banda that people like Shaker Gurung were openly active in the name of Janajati demands.”
Banda Update: Normal life across nation has been affected today due to Nepal Banda (shutdown) called by the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NFIN) to pressurise the government to fulfill its 24-point demands. The bandh was organised demanding ethnic autonomy, federal system, linguistic freedom, proportional representation in the constituent assembly and guarantee of self determination, among others. NFIN, which held talks with the government on 26 Feb, refused to withdraw the bandh despite government requests. NFIN is scheduled to hold the second round of talks on Friday (2 March). (more here)
Developments of the Day:
Bhattarai on Monarchy: Kishna Prasad Bhattarai, a former Prime Minister and former Nepali Congress leader, arises from tumb (many had though that he wasn’t in this world anymore) to defend the ‘powerless monarchy’ in Nepal. We haven’t forgotten that panwalla Bhattarai used to defend the 1990 constitution until recently saying that the statue formulated by his government 17 years ago was “best in the world and there is no need to change a line in it.” Now he thinks going for republic will not be a good idea for the country. Bhattarai, who had returned from pilgrimage to Benaras, India, made those remarks talking to journalists in Bhairahawa this afternoon.
Koirala Health: “Has [Prime Minister] Girija [Prasad Koirala] died?” SMS with these words have been circulating among mobile users in Kathmandu since yesterday and people were tuning in to radios to be sure about the PM’s health situation. We heard that a foreign ambassador contacted to a foreign news agency’s Kathmandu office regarding the news compelling the reporters to make a call to family members of Koirala. “He is absolutely fine now and has shown a lot of signals of improvement,” the family source told a reporter. Then there was one minister who went on public to tell the public latest about Koirala. “I have just now met with him and he appeared fine,” Ramesh Lekhak was heard saying that in Radio Nepal today.
Prime Minister Concerned: Koirala is okay and he is concerned about Maoist arms, says a report. The Prime Minister, during his discussion with the government talks team with the Maoists, today expressed concern over the vast differences between the number of Maoist combatants and the arms registered. Koirala directed the team to make arrangements to declare the arms of the Maoists not registered with the UN as illegal. The UN had registered 30,852 Maoist PLA members and 3,428 arms.

>>remember when india put huge emabargo on nepal some years ago indian gurkhas were saying that if physical conflict occurs than they would aim thier rifles at the india.
Yeah, sure…in some fit of drunkeness.
Nepal has a problem. Blah blah blah… And the solution is ELIMINITATING RANAS, SHAHS, BAHUNS and groups that remotely depict those three.
That SOLUTION was carried out by NAZIS during WWII under the banner of ‘THE FINAL SOLUTION’.
Now wonder you XENOPHOBES are true admirers of Hiter and his Germany.
Patriot of Janjatis – enemy of Nepalis.
You color changing chameleon. ‘I’VE BEEN TRYING NOT TO GET RACIST’ you say, absolutely not – ONLY pepetuate lies upon lies about other races to push ahead with your XENOPHOBIC agenda.
Truly unracist…NOT!
just admit it little spawn of Manu-you are so scared of what tomorrow holds for you and your ilk now that the old corrupt and unfair structures and systems are being dismantled that you are losing your sanity. You post like a mad dog frothing at the mouth, diseased. It just gets worse and worse doesn’t it? Your fear and your hatred for others have turned you warped and twisted. So much for your superior intellect and culture. All crumbling down so easily.
Just like your ancestors lost your supposed Kirat kingdoms, EVEN IF you get your wish based on LIES upon LIES, you will AGAIN lose it to some other group – others who actually know how to govern rather than be governed.
And the cycle will continue; the history will repeat. And you will AGAIN fabricate lies that your kingdom was taken away by invaders and AGAIN the same story will perpetuate…AGAIN…AND AGAIN….AND AGAIN…and in spite of that, your kind will NEVER learn – never learn that all the while it was NEVER the others but yourself that LACKED capacity to bring yourself up through the hierarchy of life to make your life meaningful.
Indeed a sorry story.
spawn of Manu-please don’t talk about your love for the country! It’s hilarious you blaming janjatis and madheshis. Please rememer it’s your type that has been selling this country to the highest bidder. It was the Ranas who became pawns of the British during the Raj, your kings who became pawns of the Indians to overcome the Ranas (they fled to the Indian Embassy) while the Indians got rid of the Ranas, your political leaders who relied on the Indian blockade of Nepal and characters like Chandra Shekhar to assume ‘democractic power’. Your fellow people Prachanda, Bhattarai, Koirala, Madhav Nepal etc who sat down in New Delhi under the guidance of their Indian masters to devise a formula of coming back to power in Nepal, your king who could only understand an Indian Karan Singh before coming to his senses. Tell me are any of the above characters janjatis and madeshis? Are you so stupid as to deny that their selfish actions have all compromised the soverignity of this country? Is this what you mean by superior culture and intellect?
little spawn of Manu-after the mess your people have made of Nepal, after two centuries of your peoples rule, you still pretend your people can govern? Are you now developing a sense of humour, twisted little one? When you see a total lack of law and order in this country, when you see total corruption in all spheres of public life from top to bottom, when you see a total failure of the state to deliver basic health to the people, basic education and basic amenities like motorable roads, drinking water, electricity and basic housing you blame the janjatis and madeshis for this? Or is it because your lot are so good at governance?
UWB moderating me again? Please don’t take too long. I’m having fun exposing the lies of our fellow country men.
FINALLY the TRUE colors of DEMOCRATIC FARCE is being seen in this blog.
Kirati Yalung – go take a dip in Ganga. Perhaps then will you not smell foul with ethnic propaganda. Oh my bad. That’s a Bahun river. What river do you have in Kirati bhasa?
TRAITORS, HOW have your kind gathered the false popularity of being loyal to their masters? Oh, let me refresh your memory – from YOUR master, the BRITS.
That being said, your ancestors could NOT have cared whether they lived in Nepal or not, for 2 tola gold from British Army, your kind sold themselves long ago. Henec nowhere in picture in Nepali socio-political or economic arena.
Ranas became pawns when Britain was an empire. Your kind are selling themselves even now for 2 tola of gold from HM Queen. Talk about loyalty.
‘Bahadur’ is what they call your type in India. So don’t flatter yourself too much, thinking that cross-border diplomacy is a sign of weakness. That’ s exactly what your kind doesn’t get – any act that requires THINKING and persuasion. Nepal is a county caught between two gigantic monsters, it need to navigate itself carefully to preserve it soverenigty. But you won’t understand that. Your kind has some other motive than keeping ONE NATION. But I certainly agree taht your kind can die for a 2 tola gold.
Moron, XENOPHOBE, seperatist, traitor. Listen!
Indians are NEVER masters, except for ‘Bahadurs’. True, none of the characters you mentioned are Janjatis or Madhiseys simply because they were too busy feeling sorry for themselves and blaming others for their misery.
UWB moderating me again? Please don’t take too long. I’m having fun exposing the lies of our fellow country men.
Why, should UWB grant you SPECIAL PRIVILEGE because you are a JANJATI. OOO…poor oppressed JANJATI…
Crybabies…
manu’s little spawn-please answer my questions to you in a civilised manner rather than frothing like Deuba! I asked about your people making deals with India for the selfish interest of the years and I asked also about your peoples competence to govern(post still under moderation while I write this).
So we were recruited into the British Army, just like every Nepali right now is being recruited overseas for work. What’s the big deal? We went for economic reasons just like everyone else is doing now. Is this the only grievance you have against us? Surely your superior intelligence is not so limited?
My asking UWB not to take too long in moderating my comments and your equating it to a special privelge for janjatis shows how your twisted little mind works.
UWB: comment deleted
typo-should be ‘over the years’
Little spawn of Manu for once use your superior intellect and culture to address my questions under posting timed at 11:36:50 and 11:42:16 to you. Or are you only capable of of the foul mouthed utterances that you have displayed so far?
hey u UWB shit head .. u deleted my comment ??? assholes. am gonna write it again, dont u dare delete it.
UWB: comment deleted. U must avoid F words.
this freeursenses ass started this thing so he must face the flak, or are u guys also racists that u chose to selectively delete my comments ????
oh my my UWB so now u’ve started playing GOD and passing judgement … u fuckers have deleted everything that I wrote, pathetic you suckers really are. Why dnt you delete the racist coments this freeursenses ass is writing … you guys truly suck man … it surely reflects everything that i had written abt u guys …
alright … apologies I will avoid f word. but dnt delete other things.
Let me give you some insight in building a NATION, preserving a NATION which, you apparently have no clue about. Else Kirat kingdom would have still been around.
Ranas became pawns when Britain was an empire. Nobody said we were NEVER subservient, NEVER ruled. We have been ruled by others. BUT, the difference is, we bounce back from it in just the same manner and look at the future. Basically we do not hold on to unnecessaryu baggage and trow ourself into self-pity for decades before starting to get our lives together.
Leaders are always corrupt. Janjati royalists amassed equal quantity of national treasure in very democratic manner as any other. SELECTIVELY picking Bahun names and pinpointing their failure is in fact very symptomatic of XENOPHOBIA that pervades your clan.
>>>Tell me are any of the above characters janjatis and madeshis? Are you so stupid as to deny that their selfish actions have all compromised the soverignity of this country? Is this what you mean by superior culture and intellect?
True, none of the characters you mentioned are Janjatis or Madhiseys simply because they were too busy feeling sorry for themselves and blaming others for their misery.
SPAM is the WORST thing that happened to Nepal BUT it is YOUR kind that continually supported them, brought em back to power. Now YOU complain that they are bad.
God, the logic…
i had written this for freeursense (shithead)
freeyoursenses (shithead) – so its abt 2 tolas gold now huh? Sure, we are goddamn proud u asshole. We toil in a foreign land and buy our mother and sisters gold jewelry besides the pounds/INR we bring into the country. Wht abt you? How much gold have you gifted ur mother/sister/wife by siphoning money meat for the poor?? How many women children poor people have died coz of ur corruption?? How much medicines you’ve sold in the black market meant for the poor to buy that gold for ur family.
As for “Bahadur” … hmmm arent you ashamed tht u ridicule ur own countrymen?? The poor people toil hard in India and feed their family back home apart from the INR they bring in of course. I know ur hypocrite type, when ure in India you say to locals .. oh we’re Brahmins/Ranas crap in an apparent bid to distance urself from the more Janjati featured guards who toil there. And when ur in Europe you say … oh we are the great Gurkhas, so to bask in the glory and respect we earned by toiling our asses on the line. You all are hypocrites.
Lastly, its easy to say that we are incompetent and incapable for responsible posts isnt it?? Well if it werent for your Rana/Bahunaad nepotism we’d be much more better off than u guys, a million times believe me coz we are hardworking and honest, its in our genes, not like u lovi assholes who call urselves pundits but is ready to eat human flesh and get banished for a quarter tola gold.
this ones without f word
un(patriot)
XENOPHOBIA as we know today pervade the JANJATIS.
And listen ur stupid ass, dont give us lessons on nation building, we Kirats ruled for like centuries, not that we cry over our past, all we want is self respect and dignity. And yea we supported Maoists to fight corrupt asses like you. To fight this system, Maoists are just a vehicle for us, you think we give a damn abt wht ur Bahun leaders Prachanda, Baburam say or think … no way. Look today, we are agitating, think I think is a proof enugh that we used the maoist vehicle well to meet our end. soon if the govt dont heed to our demand, there will be another terai like situation. didnt u feel the pinch when NFIEN shut down ktm last time …. so u see, the reason why i bash maoists is simply coz they been delaying tht they were supposed to go there n do. not tht we give a rats ass abt the leadership or maoist party protocol.

so manu’s little spawn if people are all the same then why slam janjatis and madeshis in particular? if your superior intellect finally realizes that all human beings are basically the same whether they be a Rana or Janjati can you now stop being racist? History is full of ebbs and flows of different peoples and races. Where are the descendants of the magnificient Mughals, Mongols now? History has confined them to obscurity. When Solomon and Queen Sheba were in their pomp and grandeur Europeans were living in caves. Look how different it is now. Change is coming to Nepal too…don’t sh*t in your dhoti…embrace it so that you can move forward too..otherwise you too will be consigned to the dustbin of history.
well said Kirat … as always I love ur comments. i hate to be this aggressive but i dont really see any other way to bring these asses on the line. they need to realise tht they cant go fcuk around like they been doing for centuries. its time for change and they must accept it.
UWB: comment deleted.
Ha!
The realization, the instance of grand white light, the moment of SOME sanity. Let’s see how long it lasts.
I REFUSE to accept the notion. I am ABSOLUTELY AGAINST the FALSE idea of autonomy as a solution to the problem of inequality.
Let me ask you this:
Why cannot Janjatis assert themselves to change the system from within – while demanding EQUAL REPRESENTATION as part of a UNITARY government? If you say inequality persists in Nepali society, how is having autonomous region going to solve that issue? On the contrary, county will be more homogenized than what is at present.
Spare me the historical reference of King Solomon or ‘magnificient’ and barbarous Mongols. I go by the Book of Manu, so YOU claim

manu’s spawn of course you are free to be as stupid as you want to be. that is your birthright. I tried to engage in conversation with you so that you could at least understand that we janjatis and madeshis are your equals but because of centuries of state imposed structures and cultural systems we have been disadvantaged. Your blinkered hatred for our kind will never allow you to comprehend this simple truth. Carry on with your racist attitude just like your fellow brethen are doing and rip this country into shreds, while falsely asking janjatis and madeshis to sacrifice for the greater good of the country while you lot continue to monopolize all the scarce resources available to our exclusion. Can you not even understand that it is people like you with their antiquated attitudes of cultural and moral superiority over your fellow Nepalis that has brought the present situation around?
The country is in turmoil because of the ethnic divisions that your people have created over the last couple of centuries-and you want to blame us?

UWB aren’t you moderating me a bit too much today?
Patriot-losing your cool and using abusive language is not going to help. Why resort to such pettiness? You want to stoop to their level?
UWB: When it comes to your comment Kirat, we are also fighting with this wordpress thing. We try to approve any comments from you that go on moderation as quick as possible. Sorry.
manu’s child your people have always relied on Bharat for your hold on power and yet you conveniently blame others of doing the same? Tsk tsk!
This is what you wrote when you said you ‘tried engaging me in conversation’. You basically said, ‘all are equal’. That’s it. In response I wrote the following:
I REFUSE to accept the notion. I am ABSOLUTELY AGAINST the FALSE idea of autonomy as a solution to the problem of inequality.
Let me ask you this:
Why cannot Janjatis assert themselves to change the system from within – while demanding EQUAL REPRESENTATION as part of a UNITARY government? If you say inequality persists in Nepali society, how is having autonomous region going to solve that issue? On the contrary, county will be more homogenized than what is at present.
So how am I still blinded by my antiquated views? If I say MODERN JANJATIS ARE SMARTER; THEY ARE MORE CAPABLE THAN BAHUNS, would that satisfy your momentary ego? Would I then be your friend because you like hearing what you like hearing?
manu’s child your people have always relied on Bharat for your hold on power and yet you conveniently blame others of doing the same?
…and might I add the chain doesn’t stop there. Your kind have openly pledged to die for Bharat, not Nepal, Bharat. And yet you have grievances against Nepal.
Something so wrong with that picture.
quick quick…think quick. I don’t have much time.
manu’s spawn-are you so stupid that I have to say for the third time that I am not in favour of autunomous regions based on ethnicity? But the fact that these people are asking for it shows how well you guys are regarded (trusted).
I favour a certain level of decentralization-it will work better than this over the top centralized system.
Again you show your real intelligence and capability to understand the reality of the state structure and system when you ask why we cannot work from within to change the system? Can you not understand that the present system excludes us from participation? That we are effectively marginalised and excluded from the mainstream?
Little spawn of Manu-just stop from calling us Janjati people stupid, primitive and jungle dwellers like you have done so many times in your previous postings in this blog. Or do you deny such utterances you have yourself made in this forum?
Manu’s little offspring if you are referring to the Indian Army you surely are informed enough to understand that it is full of janjatis, bahuns and chettris. So who do you mean by you people?

AGAIN, this is what I don’t get. You are saying the state structure or apparatus does not allow changes so that no REAL change can be made from inside. And so because you are not in the mainstream YET. OK. Now, that’s different from demanding autonomy from the central government. Agreed. However, if you will, what do you say to the fact that, generally – not geared towards you specifically, if Janjatis rallied for proportionate representation in the government as THE PRIMARY CAUSE under the unitary model rather than an auxillary cause for autonomy, rationale of equality would be more visible to MY kind?
>>Little spawn of Manu-just stop from calling us Janjati people stupid, primitive and jungle dwellers like you have done so many times in your previous postings in this blog. Or do you deny such utterances you have yourself made in this forum?
Oh grow up…
Anyway coming to a conclusion I think it is the duty of all Nepalis to make the country as inclusive as possible for all the people who live here. How easy for a pahade to dismiss the grievances of a madeshi or for a bahun that of a janjati or vice versa. As long as people remain discriminated for their ethnicity or culture there will always be instability in this country-ofcourse there never is such a thing as a perfect system that pleases all-but I think it is abudantly clear that the present state structure and constitution needs a lot of changing to make things more inclusive and equitable for all. We missed an opportunity to do this in the 1990s. We have an opportunity right now.
Janjatis and Madeshis have made a lot of demands-some are genuine and good for the country as a whole as it will make the country more inclusive and stable. Some of the demands are unrealistic and even potentially harmful for the country as a unified nation state. We all know what the good ones are we all know what the potentially bad ones are. Its pretty simple and does not require the wisdom of Solomon or the genuius of an Einstein. All this SPAM govt. has to do is grant the genuine demands and refuse the bad ones. Once the good ones are accepted you will see that only the extremist elements will remain. These can be dealt with quite easily. But the SPAM are mortified because even granting the genuine demands of the Janjatis and Madeshis will result in a sea change and a displacement in power for many.

catch u later freeurshithead for another round of nice spanking
You are sore that “Your ilk oppressed us for centuries and sold us off to the
Brits…” and you are proud that your kind had sustained economy by sending money from abroad. I have never seen anyone proud when s/he is sold and money earned from so-called bondage. I suspect it must be ‘janjati’ way of presenting ‘superior’ logic.
What ‘oppression’ are you pointing at? Perhaps you are hinting at government jobs. The story goes like this. When there is time to study in school, its your kind who prepares itself for the British Army job by doing lots of physical training rather than studying. It comes natural because your forefathers had done the same and you follow the family tradition. When these recruiting camps come, your kind are the first ones to apply. When your kind fails to qualify for these jobs, they go for Indian Army jobs. Now don’t be a sorry loser to say that you don’t study in school, you don’t qualify for those jobs, and still you should be offered top jobs everywhere. Instead of British Army or Indian Army, why did not your kind apply for the Nepal Army or Nepal Police; or what has stopped you? You obviously claim that you labored hard to be in the British Army that is why your kind is chosen. In the same manner, Brahmins and Chettris claim that they labored during their educational career to get government jobs. When it comes to your kind, its ability; and when you don’t get it, its oppression. You complain of Rana/Shah discrimination because you do not become Army Chief or break ‘glass ceiling’. Do your foreign masters allow you to be Army Chiefs or even pass beyond Major? Last time I heard that GESCO went to court in UK because Nepalese were discriminated in terms of pay and retirement benefits.
In politics, every single political party turns out to be representative of all
communities, caste and creed. Your ‘janjati’ bro Subash Newang (UML) is the Speaker of the House. Has anyone protested about it? Your ‘madhesi’ sister Chitra Lekha Yadav (NC-D) is the Deputy Speaker. Has anyone protested against her appointment? Look at your own organizations that promote the communal hatred and boogey of ‘oppression’. You claim it is demanding of your rights. Even a chor can provide a reason that he steals for his living and living is his fundamental right. There are 58 groups of’janjatis’in Nepal. is your organization representative of those communities? Why there are only Gurungs or Limbus or Rais dominating these organizations? What gives you right to represent those people when they are not part of your organization? Why does not Chepang, Lepcha, Kusunda, Jirel, Dhanuk, Meche, Lhopa, Larke, Dura or Satar find representation in your ‘janjati’ organizations? Why not Chepang Autonomous Region or Lhopa Autonomous Region? Why not people from these communities are made general secretary or president in your organizations? And Why should these communities follow your lead? Is it because you are educated, speak English, and based in Kathmandu where these media cover your brave words? Why does not your fellow brothers Sadbhavana Party or MJF that claim to represent Terai as a whole does not
have communites like Mushar, Kumal, Majhi, Raute, Jhangad, Tajpuria, Dom? And you have audacity to talk about oppression and exclusion… You are pathetic, self-serving individual, with drastically narrow mindset.
