A tale of a failing state

The government of Nepal has turned into a government of the parties, not the people.

Lenin once said, “There are decades when nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen”. The current state of affairs in Nepal appears to resonate with his words; however, the reality is different. At a point where it seems like the nation is at the cusp of yet another bout of political turmoil, we, as political leaders, citizens and well-wishers of the country need to reflect on what went wrong.
