Nepali Youth leaders with charisma, passion, leadership and vision and entrepreneurial
in spirit, come together to set up a new youth movement. Young leaders (hopefully
“youths”) from walks of life, from major parties, students, passionate
intellectuals, doctors, engineers, scientists, and radicals, young entrepreneurs and
economists rush to join this new movement based on the philosophy of
“
common sense“. We are tired of the antics in Nepal’s
leadership (all of them). All we ever wanted was a leadership to lead us with
“common sense”. We haven’t found this in the current leadership or the
elder generation as a whole. Therefore We will be the new “
common
sense” leaders.
This team would be able to set a new path and direction for the whole country through a
series of policies based on “common sense”. Grand principles of the past are
illusions which needs to be dismantled to address the
unique scenario
of Nepal with its hundreds of tribes, thousands of problems,
lakhs of independent spirited youths and tens of millions of
hungry people for change.
I say, how best to achieve this other than through a a leadership that works
passionately with “common sense”, youth motivation and high emotional
intelligence.
Here is the Basic Rights we believe in:
Prosperity: is a basic human
requirement that fulfills a lot of other human rights. A prosperous woman is a woman
with dignity and resources to keep her family out of poverty. A prosperous woman
demands and gets her rights without abusing or trampling on another. A prosperous
woman has the resources to educate her family to moral beings. And we are a movement
that will get her this way of life for her. We encourage prosperity by
mobilizing social entrepreneurs on the forefront of this fight.
Equality: “We celebrate
diversity as long as it does not trample on our other basic human rights to food,
education and love.” Federalism or other concepts of politics should be based
on this common sense. “It is my right to live free, hunger free and in peace
in my country.” Disruptive tactics to peaceful negotiation for one’s
rights are a violation of one’s rights to prosperity just as much as denial of
work to a Dalit based on prejudices is a violation of one’s right to
prosperity. The new youth movement of Nepal will make sure that youths are the
rulers of Nepal where they are the primary stakeholders and the gateway to the
future generation’s peace and tranquility. Enough of the elder generation who
calculate their contribution by the days they spent in prison. Our responsibility
begins, not ends. When we gain power, our governance model is making communities
prosperous by the method of “self-sustainability and self-reliance.”
Our governance: This
movement believes the central government’s primary role is only to be a
vanguard of maintaining peace, law and order in the country. It will leave the
nation building process to special teams of bright young team of individuals called
“social entrepreneurs” who work directly with local communities to work
towards creating a prosperous Nepal. It will be the guardian of Nepali people so
that no greater injustice is done while we are on the nation building process. It
will leave the nation building process to “social entrepreneurs” while
making sure it remains the watchdog so that given rights and special powers to the
“social entrepreneurs” are not abused. A government is a facilitator
when it comes to handling the economy. It is no better than private institutions
when it comes to providing services like health, education and food. It cannot and
will not work alone to provide this. It will work with young, independent teams of
bright young strategists to help bring these basic human rights of people in an
efficient and sustainable manner. it will take some time to accomplish this but it
will remain steadfast in fulfilling these rights before concentrating on other human
rights.
We believe that simply depending on the central government for your basic
rights is evil and backwards. This kind of thoughts make the government the
ruler of Nepalis rather than be a guardian. Our strategy is to make each
village, town self sustainable and able to rule itself wisely. A model of
self governance at micro level is a social experiment we will push for and
crave for. We don’t want you to rely on us. We want you to rely on
yourself. We will be your aid in your quest for self reliance.
Accountability: Our leadership is directly accountable to our
practical goals and the amount of rewards and punishments a leader takes is
directly proportional to the higher degree of responsibilities we take. Culture
of accountability will erase the culture of impunity. This movement understands
the transparent and globalised world we live in. We are fusing every part of
decision making with the youths in focus right down to the high school. We are
open sourcing our government. We are open sourcing our ideals, our goals and our
strategies so that you can advice us while we fine tune our universal health
care or our universal practical education system.Foreign
policy: Nepal’s relationship the rest of the world is based
on equality and brotherly love. We will follow policies of deep respect to the
two neighbors and we will tie our economies closely, openly and
’strongly’ with both our neighbors. This will be the basis on all
agreements. This ensures political games remain secondary to the economic
brotherhood that we will cultivate. A healthy and mutually beneficial economy
will deter any haphazard political games to be played by our neighbors. Nepal is
a “neutral” on all affairs associated with China and India. Its
relationship with China and India supersedes all other relationships in the
world.
Evolution: As times change, and with it, we shall evolve. We
believe in the evolution of our basic principles of “common sense”.
As times change, we will evolve and even mutate. If we stick to principles which
have stopped making sense, we become obsolete. The world is changing fast. Look
where we have reached in 100 years, from primitive non flying humans to evolved
man who can communicate thousand of miles away instantly. Basing our primary
interest in making each Nepali family rich, prosperous and independent while
being able to live in peace, we will evolve to absorb any principles that work
in this goal. The goal is to have your family live in prosperity and peace. You
decide the moral,ethical, religious rule inside your house. We have no right
over your private morals, thinking and ideologies and we will not dictate our
ideals upon your “private” lives.
Summary: We will work to make our own
jobs obsolete. i.e make you self-sustaining. This will be enshrined as one of the
founding principles of our ideologies. We celebrate Diversity is a gift, we want to
use it wisely, but diversity at the cost of unity is a dead end, an uncontrollable
chaos, a deep abyss. And we will stop this at any cost. Until most of Nepalis have a
sound education and are covered by a universal health policy, the central government
will take an active role in creating this health and education system with
partnership with local bodies and social entrepreneurs but after this has been
reasonably achieved, this too will be handed over solely to the realms of local
social entrepreneurs and local governments. In the end, the central government is a
lean body which maintains the rule of law and integrity in Nepal.
