A message from three crore Nepalis to Prime Minister Modi


By Chhabi Subedi "Vijayi"

Respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Damodar Modi,

You describe yourself as a follower of the ancient Vedic tradition. If so, why do your policies and actions repeatedly create difficulties for your friendly neighboring nation, Nepal? Why, in the eyes of many Nepalis, do various political and strategic measures appear aimed at weakening one of the world's oldest independent and sovereign nations? Please do not underestimate Nepal simply because it is a developing country. My homeland is immensely rich in its cultural heritage, spiritual legacy, and timeless values. I hope you will never overlook the dignity, courage, and resilience of the Nepali people, symbolized by the majestic Mount Everest.

Gautama Buddha was born at Kapilvastu in Nepal. I trust you are familiar with the Ashokan Pillar that stands as historical testimony to this fact. Yet, whenever you travel abroad, you often describe India as "the land of Buddha." Why is this so? If, by saying so, you imply that Nepal and India share an inseparable spiritual and cultural heritage, then such a sentiment is indeed welcome.

From the time of Jawaharlal Nehru after India's independence in 1947 to your present leadership, many Nepalis have believed that successive Indian governments have sought to bring Nepal under India's influence. However, please remember that Nepal is not merely India's neighbor; it has long been regarded as a spiritual beacon for the world. The sacred legacies of Gautama Buddha, Mother Sita, Muktinath, Damodar Kunda, Pashupatinath, Gorakhnath, and Mount Everest bear testimony to Nepal's unique place in human civilization. Why, then, should Nepal's significance be overlooked? Was it not after your pilgrimage and spiritual practices at Nepal's sacred sites, including Muktinath and Damodar Kunda, that you gained renewed spiritual inspiration before rising to national leadership? From whose sacred land, and through whose blessings, did you draw the strength that contributed to your success?

If you truly uphold the ideals of the Vedic Sanatan tradition, then I respectfully urge you to honor these sacred places and resolve the long-standing territorial disputes concerning Kalapani, Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh, and Susta in a just and peaceful manner. Furthermore, I appeal to you to address the historical issues surrounding the Treaty of Sugauli of 1816, which many Nepalis continue to regard as unjust. Only by pursuing justice, mutual respect, and genuine friendship can India and its leadership earn even greater admiration and respect across the world. Please also remember that Nepal's geographical position has long contributed to India's strategic security.

One of the greatest responsibilities of a statesman is to treat all neighboring nations with equality, dignity, and mutual respect. Recently, two sacred Shaligram stones were taken from Nepal's holy Kali Gandaki River to carve the idols of Lord Ram and Mother Sita. Just as these sacred stones were received with reverence, I sincerely hope that the people of Nepal and the nation itself will be accorded the same respect and goodwill.

Such an approach would strengthen the bonds of friendship between our two countries and foster lasting goodwill not only for you personally but also among the sincere and peace-loving people of India.

Long live the people of Nepal!
Long live the people of India who cherish friendship and goodwill toward Nepal!

RISING HIGH AGAINST THE GUSHING WATER

Image
Sita Thapa is a professional rafting and kayaking trainer of Nepal. Among five she is one of the pioneer women rafters. Ms. Thapa is from Pokhara.    By LB THAPA Perhaps you've seen some white-skinned Westerners sailing their rafts on the turbulent waves and battling against the deadly ripples, which can toss them away at any moment. Well, let me help you to remember this scene—you must have seen all this on your TV screen. Am I right?      Quite a few would have this opportunity to see these rafters enter the water, set up their gear, and finally get ready to challenge the gushing waters. Unless you are a rafter himself, you can rarely catch a glimpse of these people from a close distance. Without any doubt, rafting is not an ordinary adventure sport like paragliding, bungee jumping, and parachute jumping—rafting is above all.   Muscular strength and perfect skill are a must. But if I tell you that there is a young and beautiful lass from Pokhara who ...

In recent times, Pabitra has come to the limelight for her daring activities. You might be wondering what is Pabitra famous for.   The other day this scribe had an opportunity to meet this wonderful girl when she arrived in Pokhara after walking all the way from Siklis. She is actually on her way to Dhorpatan.  Pabitra is most probably the first girl in Nepal who has been on her mission to travel all 77 districts of Nepal. If you think what is special to travel all 77 districts of Nepal. Then there are two things of note. The first thing is that she may be the first girl to solo travel to all 77 districts of Nepal.

JHAMAK GHIMIRE: An inspiration for many

Image
During an interview, Jhamak Kumari said that she daily reads about 12 hours or even more. Photo: telltaleladies.com By LB THAPA Jhamak Kumari Ghimire has achieved the seemingly impossible feat of success by winning the Madan Puruskar, the nation’s most prestigious literary award, for her autobiographical essays  Jiwan Kanda ki phool ( A flower in the midst of thorns). Jhamak has proved that nothing is impossible before hard work and strong determination.   Jhamak Kumari Ghirire was born in Dhankuta in 1980 with a rare form of disease named cerebral palsy. This was a group disorder that affects the functions of the brain and the nervous system. This rare physical disorder made her unable to stand on her feet and use both of her hands. Having been unable to go to school, she was forced to spend all day at home. Jhamak wanted to go to school like many other boys and girls of her age, but physical disability confined her within the four walls of her house.   Jhamak was not an...

How a medical doctor became KHAPTAD BABA

Image
Photo credit: khaptadswami.com.np   How a Medical Doctor Became KHAPTAD BABA By LB Thapa Since time immemorial, the Himalayas and the mountains of Nepal have been the home of many Yogis and Mahatma who meditated here and attained enlightenment. The Himalayan region is the first choice of saints for meditation and penance. According to the holy Hindu scriptures, the Himalayas are the abode of Lord Shiva, one of the prominent Hindu gods.  In this article, I am going to write about a great saint who was born in Kashmir, India, and worked there as a medical doctor. But something happened in his life that brought a sea change to his life. Now the question is: what had happened to him that made him renounce everything and become a sanyasi (mendicant)? After taking sannyasa, he extensively traveled to many parts of India and Nepal and finally decided to reside permanently in Khaptad. He lived in Khaptad for fifty years and became known to the world as Khaptad Swami. Let’s know mo...

FROM SUICIDE ATTEMPT TO LIVING FOR A CAUSE

Image
The life story of Sandesh Subedi can inspire many people. Photo: Sandesh Subedi By LB THAPA Falling into the pit of depression invariably leads to nowhere. We must have seen or heard about many known and unknown people who became victims of depression and the tragic end of their lives.  Sandesh Subedi’s story is no different. But what is special about his life is his fight against depression and a dramatic change that brought a U-turn in his life. What makes it even more special is he got victory over depression and suicidal mentality without any doctors', psychiatrists', or medicine’s help.   His story of falling into the cobweb of depression and losing all faith in himself had pushed him to a broken point. Soon he realized that death was much dearer than life, and he was on the brink of committing suicide.  Well, can you imagine anything like this in your life? I am not telling you any fictional story. I am going to tell you the story of a young man, full of life, w...

DEALING WITH DEADLY SNAKES

Image
Though Prabin does not get any financial assistance, his love for snakes pushes him to catch them to safety. Photos: All photos by Prabin   By LB THAPA Snakes are one of the most important reptiles found in our environment. They are, of course, an inseparable part of our environment because they play an important role in maintaining the ecological system. This shy creature does not like human presence, and therefore it prefers quiet places to spend most of its time.   Despite the fact that snakes invariably avoid human beings, more of the snakes die at the hands of human beings than other causes. Most of the time snakes come to human residential areas to find their favorite food, rats. That is the time when snakes and human beings come face-to-face, and as usual, during such times, many snakes are killed—without knowing whether they are poisonous or not.   In this write-up, I am going to introduce a young man from Pokhara whose selfless love for snakes has made him a...

MIRACLE INSTITUTE: Climbing the ladder of success

  MIRACLE INSTITUTE Climbing the ladder of success By LB Thapa At a time when Nepali education has come to a crossroads, more and more students and their parents look worried about the future of their wards. They want to ensure academic and professional success for their children. When the country’s economy has been taking a nosedive, many youths have lost their hopes at home and started finding greener pastures abroad. Under such circumstances, many education consultancies have come into existence across the country. These education consultancies are important as liaison agents between foreign academic institutions and students.  Over the years, several educational consultancies have been established in Pokhara as well. But among them, Miracle Institute has come out shining for its outstanding services. Gaining popularity is one thing, but winning the trust of parents and students adds aesthetic value to an institution. And this value helps the institution stay floating...
