Senior law practitioner sees presence of “invisible hands”

Most of us have read the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The story though a fiction but does tell us about the two faces of a man who could act both like a gentleman and concurrently as a devil and that too with proper efficiency.

Similarly people talk of the presence of invisible hands which could, as per the general belief twist the arms of anyone whom it considers an enemy. Nevertheless, the invisible hands accomplishes its works with such a finesse that no body gets and inkling on how it works. But the work is done. The invisible hand could be one’s own native and could be an alien as well. The difference is that the native invisible hand does less harm mercifully to the national interests than what the other could do. IN effect, the invisible hand coming from an alien country has a singular interest and that being to damage the fabric of the nation so that the nation remains plagued by internal squabbles for long time to come. In the process the alien invisible hand manages to seduce some Mirjafar sort of personalities in order to penetrate into the scheme of things of the country where the alien hand wishes to create wreckage in all possible sectors hoping that a bruised nation at one point of time would come to seek the support of the alien invisible hand which will allow it to maneuver politically, socially and economically and etc.

Nepal as a nation-state has unfortunately undergone through several such jerks in the past thanks to the kind courtesy of some of our own Mirjafors/ who allowed or rather facilitated the alien invisible hands to sink in into the country’s politics as and when it suited them most.

Not very surprisingly therefore, Ganesh Raj Sharma, an internationally acclaimed Nepali law practitioner, sees the reason to talk at length the heavy and continued penetration of such invisible hands in Nepal’s political matters as and when we experience trouble in our own domestic front. If we were to believe the revelations of this senior Nepali advocate then what becomes clear is that the presence of these invisible hands is all pervasive in the country and that we all know about its presence and yet we could not name it. According to him, the Nepali leaders know about it but can’t speak against the presence of those invisible hands. It is this invisible hand which creates political instability in this country but yet we prefer not to expose the name of the force which is in the invisible but yet distinct form. Tragedy has been that neither the leaders nor the King of Nepal have been able to go against the invisible hands, says advocate Sharma.

Sharma challenges all and sundry and maintains that if any one in this country rejects the presence of such invisible hands is doing so at the cost of the peril of his or her own nation. The invisible hand, claims Sharma, is active and has been expanding its activities in the country and has been also propagating that Nepal as a nation-state has failed in providing security to its own people. What is most disgusting, according to Sharma’s revelation is that a politically divided nation and leaders of the country unfortunately prefer to seek political shelter in the land of the invisible hand.

As the legendary epic, The Mahabharata, says that at the conclusion of the great war at Kurukshetra what was observed was that it was one and the only Lord Krishna who fought the battle and made the Pandavas victorious. The men seen in the battle-ground were only the mere actors. In effect it was Lord Krishna who did every thing. This illustration must open up the minds of the readers as to where we have been hinting at.

Is there any formulae to come out of the clutches of the much-publicized invisible hand as illustrated by senior advocate Sharma? Perhaps yes! The Nepali leaders know it well on how to proceed. It is these political creatures whose greed and excessive lust for power that has made the invisible hand to penetrate into our affairs. The million dollar question is: Will our leaders come to senses?

Let’s not blame others for our own faults. Let’s not point out fingers at others for our own blunders. If we are weak, some one stronger will wish to benefit from our weaknesses. This is simply natural.
