Nepal scene
Umesh Gautam Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) Dhaka
The Royal Nepal Embassy, Dhaka, Bangladesh organised the celebration of the Democracy Day and King Tribhuwan Jayanti on the 18th of February. As per the ritual we, the students of BUET, including all the Nepalese citizens residing in Dhaka, were invited on the occasion. I was curious to go to the embassy to talk and discuss about the present situation in Nepal. But things were different. A banner explaining the occasion, a framed photo of the late king Tribhuwan, few bouquets of flowers on the table, a few senior diplomats, and a simple offer of morning breakfast. I was just astonished, where are those large number of students who used to crowd the embassy on the previous occasions like the one observed that day?Every citizen of Nepal is in a serious dilemma at this point of time, to choose between what had been happening and what has been happening. But satisfaction lies nowhere! The politicians have just made us fed-up and the king seems to be getting brutal on the so called insurgents. To my view, the Maoists and the issue itself have to be addressed in a different perspective.
