The Reason Behind the Government Shutdown?

The current  government shutdown , which began on  October 1, 2025 , is primarily the result of a deadlock between  congressional Democrats  and the  Republican majority  over  government funding bills  for the new  fiscal year . Here are the key points:  * Failure to Pass Funding: Congress failed to pass the required  annual appropriations bills  or a temporary funding measure ( continuing resolution ) before the previous funding expired.  * The Main Impasse: A central point of disagreement is the Affordable Care Act (ACA)  premium tax credits .    *  Democrats  demanded that any funding bill must include an extension of these subsidies, which are set to expire and, if lapsed, would cause health insurance costs to rise sharply for millions of Americans.    *  President Trump  and Republicans have rejected this demand, with the President stating he would not be "held hostage" by...

• There were 37 deaths in Ilam due to landslides

35 people were confirmed dead in landslides.   9 people are reported missing, swept away by floods.   Also, some injured people are being treated — for example, two people (including a new mother) were airlifted from Mangsebung in Ilam after being injured.   This is so frustrating

Non Violence Day

   Gandhi’s Words on Nonviolence Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of ahimsa — nonviolence — was never just the absence of physical harm; it was a way of life rooted in truth, compassion, and moral courage. He believed that real strength comes not from weapons or aggression, but from the power of love, patience, and the refusal to hate. One of his most enduring sayings is: “Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction.” For Gandhi, nonviolence was not weakness — it was the ultimate expression of humanity’s strength and resilience. His teachings inspired movements for justice and civil rights across the world, from Martin Luther King Jr. in the U.S. to Nelson Mandela in South Africa.  Nonviolence in Today’s World On this International Day of Non-Violence (October 2), which also marks Gandhi’s birthday, his message feels more urgent than ever. Today’s world faces divisions fueled by conflict, inequ...

Nepal Clinches Historic Second T20I Victory Over West Indies

Nepal’s national T20I cricket team achieved a remarkable feat by securing their second consecutive victory over the West Indies in the ongoing Unity Cup series. Batting first, Nepal posted a formidable total of 173/6 in 20 overs. Aasif Sheikh led the charge with an impressive 68 runs off 47 balls, while Sundeep Jora contributed a solid 63 runs from 39 balls. Despite an early setback, Nepal’s middle order stabilized the innings, setting a challenging target for the West Indies. In response, the West Indies struggled against Nepal’s disciplined bowling attack. Mohammad Aadil Alam was the standout performer, claiming 4 wickets for 24 runs in his 4-over spell. Kushal Bhurtel also made significant inroads with 3 wickets, while Lalit Rajbanshi added 1 wicket to the tally. The West Indies were bowled out for a mere 83 runs in 17.1 overs, handing Nepal a commanding 90-run victory. This triumph not only secures the series for Nepal with a 2-0 lead but also marks a significant milestone in...

What Do people Think??

  The essence of politics lies in addressing the desires and aspirations of the people. Looking back through history, we see that the changes people long for ultimately become the final truth. No government or political party can survive for long if it goes against the people’s will. In a nation like Nepal, a multiparty system is the only viable alternative. However, the absence of viable alternatives does not grant parties the prerogative to disregard the interests of the citizens. Corruption, factionalism, self-serving motives, and mismanagement within parties have engendered widespread discontent among the populace. In such circumstances, resolute young leaders within parties must assume the role of reformers. They must rectify the internal issues, enhance conduct and political culture, and respond to the growing voices from the grassroots. Political workers should also refrain from remaining mere followers or obedient servants. They must assume the role of conscientious citize...

People’s Aspirations and Political Responsibility

  The Final Truth of Change The foundation of politics lies in the aspirations of the people. History has shown us repeatedly that the changes people desire ultimately become reality. From the Shah era to the Rana rule, through the democratic movement and finally to republicanism, Nepal’s political course has been shaped by the will and sacrifice of ordinary people. No matter how powerful a party, leader, or regime may appear, if it goes against people’s aspirations, it cannot endure for long. Therefore, understanding and addressing the people’s demands is the foremost duty of political leaders and parties. No Alternative to Parties, But Reforms Are a Must In today’s context, there is no alternative to multiparty democracy. Yet, the notion of “no alternative” must not become a safety shield for political parties. On the contrary, it should remind them of their responsibility to be more accountable and transparent to the people. Factionalism, corruption, unhealthy c...
