I guess we gotta start writing in Nepali. As much as we can. Create new words and phrases. Borrow a few from other languages. I don't even mind stealing some, if we need. Tweak them. Twist them. Spice them up. Garnish them. Give them a new weight. A new flavor. And passionately enrich the vocabulary. Because how else do we say more? How else can we express deep, meaningful ideas, ideas that our society is so profoundly lacking when we don't have proper words to hold them in the first place?

When the Brits left India, they left behind an insurmountable inferiority complex that has weighed on the subcontinent for decades. The sadder truth is that it has only deepened with each generation submitting more to the dominance of Western pop culture and trends than the previous. No doubt cultural influence is a natural, unfolding phenomenon. But when it erodes selfworth and seeds a quiet self disdain in the psyche of the receiving society (so subtle it often appears as self defense or even arrogance) the receiving society moves towards a gradual surrender. In some cases it lingers in that state for decades, even ages feeding on itself, slowly hollowing itself. In that state of limbo, its art is reduced to parody. Its language to caricature. It no longer knows which values to hold on to. Whatever progress remains is largely superficial. And its ripple effects are everywhere. Across education, literature, science, culture, politics, and even economics. What actually bothers me is this- I cant even think of writing these incohrent lines in the language I grew up speaking. My thoughts still feed on it but I keep nourishing thats already cultivated. Funny. And, sad.

It's hard to stay humble when you're one of the only five or six people on the planet who know how to use a semicolon.

I can't speak for elsewhere, but contemporary culture across the Indian subcontinent is largely parody. Either a mimic of Western culture or a caricature of our own ancient heritage.

I’ve grown weary of rationality. I’ve clearly seen its flaws now. It no longer feels reliable. And, I can’t leap into faith with my eyes closed either. How long must I remain in this purgatory?

Men who don't water down their ideas to appease folks around them, no matter how wise or stupid their ideas are, trivial or profound, are the absolute best kind of men. And, vice versa. The true yardstick of a man's greatness is not the truthfulness of what he says, but how faithful he can remain in saying what he believes. Again, however wise or stupid his belief is. I would any day listen to an honorable fool than an approval seeking, crowd pleasing intellect.

Just a thought: Is there any developing country that has developed under democracy? Most of them developed economically and then became democratic in modern sense.

Truth is, almost every successful society or civilization in human history was built on aristocracy or elitism of some sort. On the flip side, every nation that jumped into the rule of majority (democracy) without first empowering it's majority and without first laying down social, cultural and moral foundations have miserably failed.

@Donniecouger I hope your accusation hold up. I hope I'm just being cynical and time proves me wrong. But I'd always choose skepticism over naive conformity, even at the risk of cynicism. That, my friend, is part of my education.

@anshumalee_ Human mind and their longing for finding the similarity. Human mind etched in the ethos of driving narratives. Most basic and default cynicism from the banks of Indian and Pacific ocean towards the land of the highest. Well done bro, well done.

I see BJP-esque politics in Nepal under Balen. Minimal accountability. Lack of media scrutiny. Overpowering public sentiment in favour of the government fueled by anti corruption rhetoric and early developmental pushes. And, probably occasional anti India jabs to project a strong leader. That's on the outside. Inside, it's scary. I just hope they start building roads. That would be a compensation.

Democracy’s officially dead. It was good while it lasted. Just yesterday BRB had named Sudan Gurung as a suspect for Sept protests today he’s arresting Oli n Lekhak. Nepal is in a shit show now.
Mahesh Kushwaha@okaymahesh

As the police arrested former Prime Minister K.P. Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, the newly appointed Home Minister, Sudan Gurun, posted on Facebook: “You messed with the wrong generation.” Neither the arrest without due process nor the vengeful message from a sitting home minister bodes well for Nepal’s democracy. The government must exercise restraint and act with caution.
