Great minds discuss ideas...


2 September 2018
Great minds discuss ideas, medium minds discuss events, and little minds discuss people
How powerful Hindus proverb - Great minds discuss ideas, medium minds discuss events, and little minds discuss people is. This proverb indicates where Nepalese and the political parties of Nepal are. Why Nepal falls behind. Especially the politics of Nepal remains debatable all the time. Nepalese had to and still have to depend on political agendas. Though the political system itself is not the problem for the sake of Nepal and Nepalese, it's their mindset.  Every time everywhere we see Nepalese are busy at narrating how the leaders are, what the political parties are doing but they never concern the outcome of the proposed plans and their implication as well as the ideas of using herbs found in Himalayan regions, cultures prevailed all over Nepal, fertile soil and its cultivation in the terai belt, hot to utilize the energy wasting is flowing water. The necessity of present Nepal is the plans and their implication in no time.  We human beings should try to discuss about the ideas that can empower the down trodden people and educate the illiterate ones.

Education is the backbone of all development of entire nation. But education provided by schools and colleges is not of importance. Our education has taught to be literate but it has not taught anyone to fish a fish for his long life living.   From the very beginning of higher school education, every child has to learn life skill rather than have goal to achieve unused Master degree certificate.  Academic certificate cannot give us food to eat but the skill he possess can make him live forever. The government as well as so called scholars should find out the necessity of Nepal and should educate its people accordingly. The hired education, surrendering attitude and love for abroad education never makes Nepal economically an independent country. No doubt Nepal is an independent country but she is not economically. Entire Nepalese should try their best to be economically sound. If every family is economically sound, Nepal herself becomes an affluent country in the world.

Nepal is in the condition of a house divided cannot stand. Indeed yes. Politically Nepalese are divided in different groups but they are not able to show their clear ideas to make Nepal a developed country. Where and how she is being backward is being the main question of present Nepal. She is naturally sound having snow capped mountains, fertile valleys and Terai belt; brave Nepalese but lacking the good leaders and scholars. Neither leader nor the scholars have been able to prove their worth. Political leaders seem as if they are barking dogs. They give very good speech and make Nepal as a piece of heaven in words but they don't have the vision to make her developed one.  Nepal has not been developed as a home where the heart is. It means the dream of new generations is to go abroad, study there and settle there but not to stay in Nepal. This is the place where education of Nepal should be addressed.

Nepalese should sow the seeds after the natural calamities too. If they stop sowing the seeds how they can survive. The youths of present Nepal should be rebellious for the overall development of Nepal. The grownups elderly leaders have not been able to show their strength for the sake of Nepal and Nepalse. They seem as if they are not the leaders of Nepal. They have not been able to break their henchmen's vicicious circle. It is the place where the education of Nepal has not been able to produce sincere, honest and devotional leaders, scholars, and other manpower. It's true that teachers open the doors but students must enter the room themselves. Nepalese gave the support to the Nepalese leaders and came to the street but when they accomplished political agendas in their hands they are not able to prove their worth. They are doing what the earlier big brothers used to do. Even the head-teachers of schools are not sincere enough. They try to enjoy everything themselves but they are ignoring to their colleagues.  They don't accept the bitter reality. They send their kids to the private schools and blame to the locals not sending their kids to the community schools. When someone talks about it, they think it is due to the children's rights and other. Only the pretence is prevailing in every corner. It has to be stopped and change everyone's psyche. Sometimes they present as a less human.

Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.  Now Nepal needs peace. Every time one after another political parties are presenting themselves showing their anger to the present authority. They are not been able to sit around a round table and settle every political misunderstanding. Political misunderstanding has taken so many peoples' lives. The bloodshed has to be stopped and the new seeds should be sown to make Nepal an independent country economically, politically and educationally. She has to be a fertile land for all.  To develop Nepal soil, water and her manpower must be properly used.  If every family is economically sound, educationally aware and culturally strong, Nepal can be a developed country in no time where only peace flourishes everywhere.
