Nepal deserves a foreign policy commensurate with its geography and its history; one built on institutional seriousness, strategic clarity and leaders who understand that the open border with India is not a metaphor. It is where the Madheshi farmer rises before dawn. It is where an unmarked pillar determines whether a field belongs to one country or another. It is where, when things go wrong, a young man is shot, a ministry sends a diplomatic note, and the note goes unanswered.
That is Nepal’s foreign policy challenge. It cannot be addressed through symbolism, viral messaging or rhetorical improvisation. Borders demand statecraft. And foreign policy cannot be learned after taking office.

AI संग विजय कुमार। ४० वर्ष अघि हामीले नेपालमा टेलिभिजन अन्तरवार्ता विधाको जग बसाल्ने मौका पाएका थियौँ। अब, आजदेखि एआई (AI) संग कुराकानीको सुरुवात गर्छौँ। के ‘जेनजी’ भनेको केवल उमेर हो? फरक–फरक आर्थिक, सामाजिक, शैक्षिक र पारिवारिक परिवेशमा हुर्केका एउटै उमेरका दुई युवालाई एउटै ‘जेनजी’ शब्दले व्याख्या र महसुस गर्न सकिन्छ र? जसरी नेपालमा धेरैले गर्दैछन् , अज्ञानताका कारण वा दुनिया बेकुफ बनाउन ? यो प्रोमोको पूर्ण संस्करण भिडियो आज साँझदेखि उपलब्ध हुनेछ।

PPP has proven to be privatization of benefits & socialization of costs via their externalization to environment & unsuspecting poor voters & consumers!
Cultural Theory argues only PPCP has a chance of success, C standing for alert civic movements!

🧵 “The Donroe Doctrine: How Spheres of Influence Are Quietly Coming Back — and Why This World Is More Dangerous”

🔥 Opening Shock — Reset the Lens
🚨 This is not an article about Venezuela.
This is not even about the United States.
This is a warning about a world drifting back to doctrines, dominance, and hierarchical geography.
“The Donroe Doctrine” is a signal that sovereign equality itself is under strain.

What macroeconomists should know about local projections and vector autoregressions, with concrete recommendations for applied practice, from José Luis Montiel Olea, Mikkel Plagborg-Møller, Eric Qian, and @ChristianKWolf https://t.co/zdrSfNf38P
The richest 20 per cent of the world’s countries are now around 30 times richer than the poorest 20 per cent. The income gap between the richest and poorest countries is also persistent; although the poorest countries have become richer, they are not catching up with the most prosperous. Why? This year’s economic sciences laureates have found new and convincing evidence for one explanation for this persistent gap – differences in a society’s institutions.

केन्द्रमा सरकार फेरिरहने,
सपथ खाइरहने,
प्रदेसमा पनि सरकार फेरिरहने,
सपथ खाइरहने,
नफ़ेरिएको पालिका मात्र हो !
तर अब बिश्वासको संकट भए पछि,
बिकासको पनि संकट हुने नै भयो,
पालिकासम्म उचित बजेट नपुगेपछि,
गाउँ जिल्लाराम हुने भयो,
आखिर देशै ठण्डाराम हुने भयो!
