Equality means opportunity for all without discrimination

Human beings by nature seem more rational and clever to other animals in the earth but sometimes they behave as if they are less human. Killing a wife with a doctor's beating, having illegal relationship with other and not being able to share each other, openly raises the question to the rationality of human beings. Every human being should realize from the very beginning that power and pelf are only for short time and they are not the source of happiness forever. They are not the ultimate goal of human beings. The ultimate goal of every human being is to get salvation knowingly or unknowingly.

To give up greed can maintain peace in the world and it may help to foster happiness in every corner of the world. Once Dalai Lama visited a castle equipped with modern facilities and cleanliness thought that the way of happiness was the wealth but after a few hours staying inside the castle, he had to release from natural calls. He went to the rest room. As soon as he entered the rest room, his eyes glanced sleeping tablets in the shelf there. Then he realized that a poor in the street neither needs bed nor any mattress, he can have sound sleep even on the pavement of the road but the haves ones who have everything cannot have a sound sleep. Now this is the place where everyone has to find the difference that who is really a worthy one whether the one who is in the castle or the one who is in the street. This is the reality of the present human world. The essence of the present is to uplift both. Both of their life is not a comfortable life. The street one at least should have a roof to shelter and the castle one at least has to have sound sleep. Is it possible?

Indeed, yes though most of the people believe that impossible is only in the dairy of foolish. If so, are most of the people in the world foolish? No one wishes to live in poverty and scarcity. Thus they seem always busy doing various works. They are not able to grab what they are willing but they are always in scarcity. Abdul Kalaam said to his students-It's a crime to have a small dream. He suggested everyone to have a big dream but there are others who suggest to have a small dream that has to be fulfilled. Both of these statements are true and false too. From Kalaam's lens if you see the world it's true it's because he had proved his worth and known as a good and successful human being in the world. But on the other hand there are so many people around who dreamed big but failed having their regular practice too.

The present politics of Nepal is also the same. The white elephants of the past are in the street and the slippers ones are in power surrounded by security forces and living as a less human beings or like the captive ones in the zoo. Even the big cat loves living in the densely forest pacing its paws in the sun near by caves but not inside the enclosures leaving easy meat and safe place. If the caregiver lets the enclosure open it never wishes to go and stay in there. It wishes for freedom. But the so called human who are in power seem as if they are less than the beasts in the forest. If they feel disturbed they change their shelter but the so called human beings love living in the enclosure all the time even at their own shelter surrounded by security personals. Are they different to normal human beings? Are they the voice of the voiceless?

Indeed, yes only in once upon a time. They were the voice of the voiceless but now they have been chameleons. They have forgotten their past. If they suffer from cough and cold they seem ready to go abroad for their treatment in the expense of nation but they don't worry about the subaltern whom they used to raise voice against the inequality prevailing during that tenure. All people whether in castle or in the street or in the huts are of great importance. One's absence may be lack of something but people may not realize that the better one is waiting to fulfill his gaps. If nation has to spend money for the treatment of the leaders why not of the general people. If there is discrimination between the rulers and subjects or public how the equality that comes under the fundamental rights work. Is it fair? Is it rational?

If there is reservation, how it can maintain equality. It is totally irrational article that is placed in the constitution of Nepal. If any articles are kept under the fundamental rights, that must be for all as the sun never discriminates to give its light and heat. It gives all equally. It neither ignores to the rich nor to the pauper. The sun never abandons to give the light and heat to the rich feeling that they can afford electricity or other equipment for its compensation. It gives equally to the haves and haves not. In the same way, the treatment of all citizens from president to the labor must be of nation or must be of individual's expense. This is what the present world including Nepal is waiting for. Then the equality in real sense works properly.
