Festivals for festivity and politics for people

Human beings are the most intelligent beings in this earth. Being the most intelligent beings, human should be human human and must involve in rational activities. They should be able to be fair everywhere.They have to be positiveness in every sector. They should be ready to change any culture and tradition if they are inhuman and at the moment they have to be rigid if the culture they follow are rational and have positive result. Among various creeds, Hinduism is the oldest and the most democratic of all. Celebrating Dashain with great enthusiasm, keeping the surrounding clean, scrubbing the houses and yards, repairing the trails and streets, making and playing various types of Pings, singing and dancing while playing games at nights, blooming Titepati and using them with red and white Tika with Jamara on heads and foreheads along with new clothes, bowing down onto the feet of elder generation, visiting from door to door of elderly kith and keens as well as neighbour both own home side or maternal of spouses, receiving blessing and the notes, fruits, dry fruits, meat of various types, sweets of various flavour, breads of different shape, size and types are the beauty of the biggest festival of Hindus. Let it continue till the human civilization is in existence. But the negativity of the festival is offering Dakshina has created problems mostly in the downtrodden family. Therefore, it will be better to stop offering Dakshina but only blessing and foods they have will be better. There won't be competition of offering Dakshina and prove themselves how wealthy they are. Festival should be herald of harmony but not of dispute.

To tie human in a nut is politics. In politics, everything is possible. No one is forever enemy and friends. The definition of enemy and friend differs as the time passes. Nepal has proved it. The Maoists of Nepal used to think that Nepali Congress and its followers were its enemy. They did not only torture and kill to the Nepali Congress but to the members of sister organizations but now they are marching in politics in hand in hand. Contemporary politics should be able to address the demands of the contemporary public. In Nepal, there is not clarity between political parties about nationalism and foreign affairs. They must have clear vision and same attitude whoever does and whatever is performed. If a political party signs in a treaty, it becomes anti-national but when the same treaty is signed by the next party will be national. It's false and should be avoided.

In the past Ranas and Shahs were the rulers and Nepalese leaders from various political parties used to blame that they were corrupted, belonged to family lineage and autocratic but not the present leaders should judge themselves and prove what difference they are doing. They may think that the king's son is not the king now. Is it true? Indeed not. They are being like the king. As in the past, the king's sons or daughters used to enjoy national properties and political power, the present daughters and sons of the leaders are alike. The recent local election proved that they are no more different to the past rulers. A true leader should sacrifice everything. Sometimes Nepalese listen that some of our leaders say no one involves in politics to be a saint. But a true leader should be like to a saint. A saint has everyone but no one as his family members. As in Chadankya Niti, there won't be any sons and daughters of a true king. His subjects are all equal. He has to behave them all equally. A true king should be aware of hardship of the society and should end with his effect in no time. If not,it will challenge to the contemporary authority. The present leaders should forget that power lies in mass not in a single person. But they are blind folded and feeling proud of being the leaders, Prime Ministers, Ministers and so on and taking the allowances and security from the nation. It's unfair as they used to blame to the past authority. They should announce that they won't take any allowance and security from the nation to keep to their words and to prove themselves that they are really different to the past so called autocratic authority.

Both festivities and politics are for the people. If there is good governance in a nation, there is peace and harmony everywhere and justice prevails. No one has a word to backbite against the authority. Every one tries his/her best to find a place where he/she can adjust for earning. The present foil of the politics is nepotism. It has to be ended and there must be fair competition for all and reservation, an inhuman activity should be avoided for the personal growth in power and pelf. Festivity should create joy and harmony and politics must provide equal opportunity to all. If it happens, Nepal will be a dreamland to the foreigners and can earn foreign currencies which can be used for the developmental works. She is naturally like a heaven.She was the land of gods and must be the land for all. She is rich in natural resources like soil, water and wind but lacks good governance. She is rich forever and will be too but the rulers though millionaires seem as if they are bankrupted and always spread their hands for aids. The government should stop their hands for aids but should be ready to change themselves. When Nepalese authority is ready to change, it doesn't take a long time to make her position in the world. Let the politics be for public and festivals for festivity.
