Hearty welcome to Nepal, Nancy Powell. We all are very happy to see a good friend come back. Representing the number one country in the world, you would, no doubt, be the number one envoy here. And you can rest assured; we will leave no stone unturned to make your stay in our poor country happy, pleasant and fruitful. As you would know, your second innings here will be totally different. Not only that, this tiny poor country has been struggling to stay alive in one part for more than a decade, even the policy of your great country towards this small Himalayan nation has taken a vicious shift. And this shift has hurt Nepal immensely. Knowledgeable Nepalis do understand the constrains and compulsions the United States has to face, on account of its unique position and its global commitments. But, it need not have impelled her to stay a silent spectator to all the nefarious designs of political destabilizations of this landlocked, tiny and helpless country meant to lead it to ultimate disintegration. Firstly, this poor nation’s disintegration would not benefit the great United States in any manner whatsoever. And secondly, as the nation responsible to uphold the integrity of the weak, poor and victimized, your great nation is morally bound to help Nepal preserve her identity and independence. Not that Nepal is short of friends and brave Nepalis, who don’t hesitate to sacrifice their lives to save others, cannot look after themselves. But Nepal does not want that the whole region should ever be plagued by extremists and become a breeding ground for terrorism. You must be aware Nepal has had that sorry experience for more than one decade when the whole civilized world stood silently watching poor Nepal being bled from her neighborhood so much so that she has almost become a failed state. We know you can prevent that happen and restore peace and normalcy in this poor land. As such, we are harboring great expectations from you that you will not hesitate, even for a moment, to uphold the ideals of your great country and rescue our small nation from further machinations that are sure to push her down the precipice. We do hope and trust you will not fail us.

The report of the Rayamajhi Commission has escaped out of the Pandora’s Box. As long it was hidden it had a certain mystery that generated intense curiosity amongst a large section of Nepalis. But once in the open it is just “sound and fury signifying nothing.” The Report has recommended action against those who obstructed and opposed the agitation of the opposition. No administration in the world fans agitation against itself or supports it. It tries to suppress it and, no wonder the regime at that time did that. The leader and other members of the commission must be “paragon of virtues” with not a blemish- the Satyabadi Harischandra of modern day. The agitators prevailed and became self-styled heroes and rulers. Those in power failed and became culprits facing commissions and punishments. Pity, there is no Jesus today to say” let the one who has not committed any crime try the first culprit.”
