Nepal's all round development remanded dream for a long time lacking proper combination between dreamers and doers. Our two neighbours are emerging as super power and are ready to send their rocket on Moon anytime. Nepali are glad on neighbours' progress and wish Indian Chandra Yan reach moon. However,It is very unfortunate that India continue to resort to different type of domination as well as intimidation and manipulation. And, indeed, it is equally abominable that India took blatant advantage of our gullible leaders in several past treaties. Nepali government on the other hand did not hold strong-arm instinct on people's voice for cause. Nepali are really pained as their academia and total intellectuals are unable to break hardest glass ceilings of discourses in many sectors, economic through culture. It hurts deeply to every Nepali at this time because reasons do not win anything in Nepal. India is trying to leave Nepalese politics feeling confused on some National hero like Buddha. Until and unless Nepali make common cause against such absurd , factually incorrect and uncomfortable truths, the country may fall apart even worse. Any mythical stories can turn to horror facts stealing 'ness' out of Nepali. Therefore intellectuals must fight writing more and more before getting belated. Nepali leaders are already in quick sand due to political sympathy cards played by Indian. Fact- India did not sign in on peaceful nation campaign endorsed and forwarded by then the most popular king of Nepal, Birendra Shaw. Fortunately,So many nations approved it upfront in a very singular way. So it is reasonable to harbour doubts in this light of all bad and harmful steps India has been carrying on against Nepali Identity. Realizing this need of time, ANA as a team must come with the idea of running Buddha's forum during its 26th ANA convention. It will, I believe, keep all Nepali souls together against Indian so called pundits' false view regarding the Orissa as Buddha's homeland. We must respect and admire India. In the mean time we should not turn our deaf ear to whatever is in the process of becoming power through discourse.
