Banda....Only Alternative?

Feb 1, 2010
Is banda the only alternative? The question sometimes strikes my mind. On Jan 10, we had the banda. Banda probably was for the good cause. Considering the negative aspect of federalism, it was called for. And the demand of the party cannot be taken in negative way because an election for or against federalism should be conducted if Nepal possess the word ‘democratic’ within it. Federalism must have been thought in Nepal seeing the development of US into states. But USA has done it to unify the states into a single country. If it is being thought see other nations like that of India, the area must be carefully analyzed. Moreover ‘divide and rule’ policy may remove the sense of unity. If division would have brought development, Nepal has already been developed into five development regions plus the fourteen zones. And even development regions could be converted into states. When the country gets divided on the basis of caste, it’s much more obvious for the ill practice of discrimination to occur.
From the economical point of view, federalism would be highly beneficial for the state-leaders because they can corrupt more in number when they possess the financial power. I personally am against federalism. So I’ d like to say the banda was for the good cause. But the query is, is banda only way to protest? I never support Banda, but what other way should be implemented to get the attention of concerned authorities?
