Where is the national interest

Nepal, since unification has always remained independent regardless of the unsuccessful invasions carried out at various times by the friendly enemies. The Indian establishment along with Americans and the Europeans have always had an interest in Nepal for reasons of their own. Some powers have the interest for their presence in Nepal to monitor the activities of China and India as they are the growing and emerging economic powers of the modern world. In another words, Nepal is serving the interests of foreign powers but is lacking to take care of its own citizens and the credit and the blame goes to the leaders of Nepal. The land that once stretched from Tista river in the east to Kangara across Sutlej river in the west is loosing it’s territory every single day. The Ranas were pro British and pleased them to save their own rule. The leaders during the Panchayat rule were pro India and some operated as agents for China, America and some European countries. The Nepali Congress learned their politics from Indian politicians and were always serving the Indian interest to please their masters. The UML was in a split position with some of the leaders being pro China and some pro India always busy trying to please their own side. The Maoists are pro China as their name speaks for itself and they too are always busy functioning in the best interest of their mentors and masters. However, the Maoists also have some obligation towards the Indian establishment for harboring them at a time when they were listed as and were functioning as terrorists. So there is a price to be paid towards the Indian side also. Currently, the Indian established is upset with the Maoists for serving the Chinese interest over theirs and are acting up by sending envoys to Nepal as messengers. The Communist leaders go south to India but say they visited China which is some kind of a game going on just to please their masters. This tells the whole story, why the country is underdeveloped and even the basic necessities of life have not been provided to the people. Electricity problems, lack of proper drinking water, cooking gas, education, roads, industries, health system, sanitation and hygiene etc. etc. The political parties and their leaders are only concerned about their own being and are heads over heals busy functioning in the interest of their foreign masters and do not have time to think or work for the betterment of the nation. If this is let to continue, our nation will not progress and the people will always have to suffer cause there is not one single leader who is pro Nepali, who would only serve the Nepali interest. The country had and has always missed that one leader, who would think work and live like a true Nepali serving the interest of Nepal and its citizens.
