Call For Embracing Republican Virtues

To escape from convulsive political deadlock, mutual blame and suffering of Nepalis from each other’s leaders, a sensible self-introspection of scholars about the state of the nation is vital. Politics is driven by multiple human impulses, each reliant on the other. They together influence human conduct. Two dominant impulses of leaders are: one is self-interested passion and the other is their immediate imperative for cooperation to fulfil their electoral promises, mitigate the nation’s pressing problems and give the feeling to the ordinary people that democracy works for them. The second one is connected to the fortune of all Nepalis which requires collaboration, virtuous conduct and mutual support of the dominant actors of society for a shared and stable future.
