Jumping on the Hindutva bandwagon

Bereft of all ideological commitments, Nepali Congress has nothing to offer the electorate save its history.

History bears witness to the legendary forbearance and stoical resignation of Nepalis. The Ranas kept the country bound in the chains of subjection and superstition for over a century. Except for a democratic interlude of 18-months in 1959-60, the Shahs ruled in an autocratic manner for close to four decades after the overthrow of their Rana cousins.
