Platform comment
I found the article entitled "Politics,
art or science?" by Shreedhar Khanal, published in The Kathmandu Post on 27 March
very interesting. The writer said that "politicians always conduct experiments in all
the major aspects of the nation but make no observation on development". He
emphasized the basic rules of science, experiment, observation and inference. But our
politicians are hanging onto the first step (ie, experiment) only. They never go on to
observation and inference.
This fact is the major cause of failure of
development strategies in Nepal. We have barely found a politician who learns from his
mistakes.
