The Rising Nepal

The book under review is 'Nakoriyeka Sandarbharu: A Life Story of Prof Dr Anjani Kumar Sharma’, a biography of a noted doctor.

Frank Reflection Of A Self-Declared Egoist
Keshab Kumar Budathoki, a dyed-in-the-wool politician with a cerebral image, has published an interesting book entitled AAFNO – AAFNO SAGARMATHA (Aatmasamsmaran). This can be roughly translated as One's Own Sagarmatha (memoirs). Sagarmatha, the world's tallest peak in the Nepal Himalayas, seems to have been chosen as a metaphor to indicate the limit and extent of one's growth, ambition or achievement.

Post-poll Challenges Galore
Well, the ‘Maha Kumbha’ of the nation has finally been over, though the vote counting still goes on in several places. At least if we are to believe the Election Commission officials, the country will see a new government of the country within this Nepali month. Yes, Dashain and Tihar festivals, which just ended are celebrated by the majority of Nepalis, and they are taken as the two biggest merry-making occasions of the country. But the five yearly political exercise is also taken very seriously and it is of more concern to the people because it will be in the hands of those they elect who will shape up the future of the nation and wellbeing of the people. But unfortunately, for the majority of the people who had high hopes from the political change after the 19
Extending Social Protection For All
Social protection is all about protecting the poor and vulnerable population of the country and sharing prosperity. It supports the economy and people’s livelihoods in the time of financial hardships and shocks. These shocks tend to produce and reproduce poverty and backwardness. Nepal has a long history of social protection although initial social protection was largely charity-based. As a matter of rich eastern cultural heritage, rich people and their households always donated cash or kind to the poor and unfortunate ones in Nepal. Our scriptures have urged to earn merit and goodness through charitable undertakings. This still motivates people to donate to the less fortunate. This works as a relief for coming out of various livelihood risks and vulnerabilities.

Foreign Trade Falls
Nepal's economy is going through a challenging situation even after COVID-19 crisis. It is needless to mention that the pandemic had dealt a severe blow to global economy, and Nepal's economy was not an exception. With a weak industrial base, the country can produce only limited products, with soybean oil and palm oil being the major exportable items. The country adds value to these products and exports them to India after having imported raw materials from different countries. Following COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war has hit the world economy in one way or the other. Almost 10 months have passed since the war began. And it has been quite problematic for many countries globally, including Nepal, to import the raw materials. Consequently, Nepal's export trade has suffered a setback. Raw soybean oil comes from Bangladesh, Argentina, the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America (USA) while the country imports raw palm oil from Indonesia, India, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.
The Dowry Distress
Marriage is considered an important turning point in human life, and this statement is taken very seriously in the Nepali society as well. Nepali parents hope their children get married within a particular age. At the same time, people have big expectations when finding a potential partner. The criteria can differ for different persons. However, loyalty, financial stability and good family background are some of the key standards. But how do we exactly know whether a person is a right one?
