A thought.
Maybe Nepal’s Democracy needs a new Aristocracy. i.e A cohesive network of wise
men and women of knowledge, vision, reach and communicative skills to steer it from
fragmentation and loss of national identity. Why? in order to protect Nepal from
becoming a lawless mob rule, a populist propaganda driven rule, a caste based rule, a
tribe based rule and an anarchy rule.
I believe in countries like the United Kingdom the democracy there was evolved by the
active support of its aristocracy slowly building democratic ideals and liberty. Maybe
Singapore’s first prime minister (and the one credited for making it from the 3rd
world to 1st world country) Lee_Kuan_Yew
got it right by assembling a team dedicated to “gaas, baas, kapaas” (गाँस,
बास, कपास).
The way I see Nepal being driven now, maybe an aristocracy of a progressive few can
protect it ? A patriotic and meritocratic elite group that could come together to build
this aristocracy ?
