Differences Within NCP

Troubles have clearly been brewing within the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP), threatening the party unity. The top party honchos appear to be divided, which is evident from the deliberations that are currently taking place in the party's ongoing Standing Committee meeting. The top decision making body of the party was said to hold its discussion on the current problems facing the nation, but the meeting unfortunately veered towards existing rivalry among the top bra

From Street To Family

Until some years ago, a lot of street children were seen wandering in the Kathmandu Valley and other urban areas of Nepal. Wearing tattered and dirty clothes, those children were found begging for money and food on streets.

False And Fabricated

A sudden change in the direction of the wind has brought the short-horned grasshoppers to the country from India. The insects eat up all the green vegetation, leaves, flowers, vegetabl

Come To Negotiating Table

Nepal-India diplomatic relations are now at a low ebb over border dispute. The current stand-off came to pester the bilateral bonhomie after the Indian government violated the status of Nepal’s far northwest territories, Limpiyadhura, Lipulek and Kalapani, which belong to Nepal, but they have been encroached upon by the southern neighbour since 1962. In November last year, India unveiled its new political map, incorporating these territories within its boundary in a

The wood and bricks used in historic monuments and structures across the country tell a lot about myths, ethics, love and spiritualism of Nepali folks since time immemorial.
