Safeguard The Rule Of Law

It is rather a courageous than an embarrassing act ours us if we can confess, of course, based on reality that we Nepalese are poor not only economically but also intellectually and morally, and not able to lead oru life under "the rule of law". This equally applies to us all regardless of our social, political and economic status because we equally believe in our primitive traditional values (feudalism) which are not compatible with the rule of law. We cry for democracy, especially the politicians, yet we cling to our feudalistic superstitions and prevent justice. I am not even sure whether we even understand the true meaning of "the rule of law". In democracy it is meant to protect the political rights of people, to provide equal economic opportunity and justice to all. There is no person or institution or government body above of law. But it is sad to note that this is not the case in Nepal because the people in power and authority continue to breach the rule of law.
