Can Nepal have as truthful leader as the King Harishchandra was?

The present politics of Nepal is derailing and is not able to work for the sake of downtrodden people of Nepal. How a few years back leaders and a handful people emerging as up starters and many more are being deserted is the place where everyone has to raise question. Why most of the youths dream to be abroad either for study or for work. In the past, present leaders used to blame to the kings and Ranas but today why they are turning their deaf ear to the people's voice. What the politics is for. Is it for sustenance of power and pelf or for service to soil and its people residing where in the city or in the countryside. Why holywine is replacing the Gahut in Nepal. What is the reason beyond it. Nepal declared as a secular country but the prime minister of Nepal went to the conference of Christianity and spent three nights at a hotel. Is it rational or stupidity?

Why the present leaders of Nepal don't study Hanuman, the king Harishchandra and other generous leaders of the various ages. They proved themselves generous and devoted for the welfare of humanity, their nations and all living and non living being. Even Devendra, king of heaven wondered if there were any truthful human beings on earth in his celestial court. Vasistha took the name of Harischandra who was the king of Ayodhya and Satyavarta's son, had a chastity wife named Chandramati and Rohit, son who was for them only after praying to the God Varuna. Bishwamitra could not believe in VAsistha's word and came to the earth to take his ordeal. Every ordeal he took, he failed.

Harishcandra was compelled to abandon his country and his subjects, later forced to sell his wife, son and himself to pay the amount to Bishwamitra. His wife encouraged him to take the way of righteousness but not to strangle in on minor events. His wife and son were sold to a Brahamin and he himself was sold to Veerabahu, an outcast in charge of the burning-ground. Rohit, the former prince had to live without food and the queen had to live in insult in every moment. They were living in a hope that one day their king would come out of this hardship. But it didn't come untill Rohit died when a serpent stang him while collecting faggot for performing Yangya at his master's house. Even the mistress didn't allow Chandramati to go to the forest to see her son's death. After accomplishing her household works she went and took her son's corpse to the cremation ground for the last ritual. When she was about to burn her son, Harishchandra who was the guard there didn't allow her to burn the corpse untill she paid the charges there. She said that she didn't have anything else to pay the amount.At the moment he saw her Mangalsutra given by Vaasistha and told her that she was telling a lie. she could sell and pay the charge. She knew that Harishchandra was the man who was there it's because it was invisible to other and it could be seen only by her husband. She returned back to the village too get the fee for her son's last ritual, she was arrested as the culprit of stealing though she didn't . At last she was sentenced to death. Harsishchandra has to chop her. They knew each other and prayed to the gods. At last all the God fron heaven came and awarded their life. They gave up everything but not truthfulness. In the end, Harishchandra knew that it was the ordeal taken by Bishowamitra. He was succeeded. His dead sun revived, the deserted king was given the kingdom back but he didn't become the king and gave the reign of kingdom to his son Rohit and went to the heaven with his subjects. How wonderful story we had.

What the present leaders think about the property they have can be for their future life. To make their kids dream to the foreign strand means they are deserting themselves too. How they can be happy when they don't have their sons and daughter in their old age. It is only for defaming them. Why they don't understand this bitter reality. The wealth that every human being has to have are only the human traits. That can make them immortal to the mortal soul. Why the so called elite, up starters and leaders are after the material world. Why they don't dream for their voters and dream only of their own kith and keens. Why they are reprieving the culprit. Reprieving the culprit means avoiding the justice. Delay in implementing means delay in justice that means injustice flourishes at the end. Why the leaders think superior to normal voters. When they think that their voters are their master not their servants. They are giver but leaders are receivers. Why injustice is prevailing.

The Nepalese youths have to study about the myths in Hinduism or others. There are virtuous souls who work for the sake of general people. Whether you study about Ram, Krishna, Hanuman, Harishchandra, Buddha, Jesus, and others. Why they are significant even today. It's because they didn't worry about them but worry about the religion means the path of righteousness. Those who choose the path of righteousness can be remembered even after their death. The necessity of present Nepal is to create a leader who can guide the society without discrimination. If the learned ones try to show the right way to the youths and children, the future of Nepal can be glorious.
