  • Make it legal

    by Saurav Sharma | 19 May, 2010

  • Monetary Compensations: How Justified?

    by Sarita Sapkota | 20 April, 2010

    Its not unusual news for us Nepalese hearing time and again about the government compensating X and Y for various reasons-especially when there is a certain amount of loss in question and a void of people/parties taking responsibility for the loss.

  • Impunity Creating Intolerance

    by Amit Pyakurel | 11 August, 2009

    No matter how shocking and hateful was the brutal murder of a college girl, Khyati Shrestha, the discourse, condemnation and deliberation over the incident would eventually fizzle-out from our minds, like it has happened every time regarding other similar incidents in the past.

  • Looking for 'Open Spaces'

    by Prabhat (David) Shrestha | 18 February, 2009

  • Self Ownership in Nepalese Society

    by Surath Giri | 06 February, 2009

      In the article 'Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy', Lawrence W. Reed stated his first principle as "Free people are not equal, and equal people are not free". Not referring to equality as the equality before law and purely taking it in a sense of material wealth, many people I know find the statement agreeable but somehow they don't like the sound of it and in a political setting like ours, its only predictable.
