Nepali Youths with charisma, youthful passion, uniting leadership and entrepreneurial in spirit, come together to jump start a progressive youth movement in Nepal. Youthleaders from all walks of life, from existing political parties to previously apolitical yet passionate individuals, workers, professionals, doctors, engineers, scientists, social workers, activists, social entrepreneurs, economists, and ………………….. (fill in your role/title )  rush to join this new movement based on the simple philosophy based on “ our Nepali common sense – doing the right thing“.

We define, Youth by age primarily, but feel free to define it as youthful’ passion and this ‘youthful’ capacity to mold one self and not to remain stuck to specific old ideologies or concepts but be able to morph their thoughts as the situation at hand demands – by relying on the central principle of ‘common sense’)

This leadership team would set a new path and direction for the country through a series of policies based on “Nepali common sense – doing the right thing”. Grand principles, philosophies and ideologies of the past (i.e. communism, capitalism, socialism, non-aligned, aligned etc) has been used a mere illusions by current political leaders to rile up the masses and get themselves in power. These ideologies must be modified to implement it to address the unique and constantly changing scenarios of Nepal with its hundreds of tribes, thousands of problems, millions of independent spirited youths and tens of millions of impatient Nepalis waiting for a better life, a more dignified life.

I say, how best to achieve this other than through a leadership that works passionately with with youthful motivation and high degree of emotional intelligence, to make “dignity” of a Nepali the central theme. Our “common sense” movement of Nepal will make sure that youths are the primary stakeholders in this country and the primary vessel to ensure Nepal’s peace and sustainability.

We say, enough of the old concepts where the old leadership calculated their contribution to Nepal by the days they spent in prison or in protest (reaction based). Our responsibility begins, not ends, when we gain power (pro-active).  We guarantee fundamental rights to all people within our borders, not just our citizens. We believe, universal brotherhood (sisterhood) is the ultimate goal for every Nepali. With us, all you need to know is, it is possible!

Here are Nepalis rights we believe in:
Prosperity: is a basic human requirement that helps fulfill a lot of other human rights. A prosperous woman is a woman with dignity who has enough resources to keep her family out of poverty. A prosperous woman demands and gets her rights without being forced to scheming, abusing, begging or trampling on another person’s rights. A prosperous Nepali has the resources to educate her family to have a better chance of becoming moral beings. And our movement will get her this way of life for her. We encourage prosperity for all, by mobilizing social entrepreneursand economists on the forefront of this fight.

We celebrate equality with diversity. Common sense dictates, “It is my right to live free, hunger free and without fear in Nepal.”

Our governance model: Our governance model will be to make communities prosperous by empowering each individual and relying on their entrepreneural spirit to realize the full potential of our country. Rather than hoping for government to do things for us, we believe in the power of the masses. We achieve this by focusing the resources of the government to provide tools to arm all Nepali to compete in the world. We will rely on “mutual-sustainability and mutual-reliance” through global engagement and global trade to create a niche for Nepal. This movement believes the central government’s primary role is only to be a vanguard of maintaining workable peace, law and order and safeguard dignity in the country. It will leave the nation building process to special teams of passionate young team of “social entrepreneurs and technocrats” who work directly with local Nepali communities towards creating a prosperous Nepal. It will be the guardian of Nepali people so that law and order are maintained, peace and tranquility are balanced while we are on the nation building process.

We will leave the long nation building process to “social entrepreneurs” while making sure the government remains only as an watchdog so that the given preferred access and special powers to the “social entrepreneurs” are not abused. A government is a facilitator when it comes to handling the local economy and a negotiator while dealing with the international economy. We do not believe in government becoming itself a powerful obese, manipulative, inefficient business and job provider.

So it will remain steadfast in fulfilling these rights before concentrating on other human rights. For example, the Government serves as a bulwark against the perceived inequalities, hunger and danger to one’s health and lack of basic education. We believe that simply depending on the central government for your basic rights is evil and backwards.This kind of reliance makes a government the ruler of Nepalis rather than a servant of Nepalis. Our strategy is to make each village and town have its primary goal, “to be self sustainable and able to rule itself wisely by connecting openly and directly nationally and internationally. A model of “self (but linked) governance” at micro level is a social experiment we will push for and crave for. We don’t want you to rely on us. We want you to rely on yourself and on your capacity to be sustainable by engaging with other groups locally or globally. We will be your aid in your quest for self reliance, not your master. In essence, leaders in governing, work actively to make their jobs obsolete (so that they are needed no more).

Diversity within unity and equality: We celebrate diversity is a gift, we want to use it wisely, but diversity at the cost of disunity is a dead end in Nepal’s evolution (with its hundreds of tribes). We will stop this at any cost. Diversity with united responsibility is our motto. As long as it does not trample on our other basic human rights to food, education and love, we will celebrate diversity. “Until most Nepalis have a sound education and are covered by a local community based initiatives on key issues such as universal health policies, the central government will take an active role in creating a temporary health and education system with partnership with local bodies and social entrepreneurs but after this has been reasonably achieved, this too will be handed over, as soon as it can, to the realms of local social entrepreneurs in collaboration with the local governments. In the end, the central government will remain a lean, flexible watchdog which maintains the rule of law, integrity, and dignity in Nepal.

Our Accountability: Our leadership believes that the rewards or punishments we get is directly proportional to the responsibilities we take. It is our intention to make our jobs obsolete. This movement understands the transparency seeking globalist world we live in. We are basing every part of decision making with the youths in focus right down to the high school. We insist on open sourcing our government. We insist on open sourcing our ideals, our goals and our strategies so that you can advice us while we fine tune our universal localized system. We hold ourselves not just to the people within our borders but to the humanity, the eco-systems and the earth that we are part of.

Our Foreign policy: Nepal’s relationship to the rest of the world is based on equality and sisterly love.  At present, we will follow policies of strategic mutual respect to our two powerful neighbors and we will tie our economies closely, openly and ‘strongly’ with both our neighbors to ride along with their immense economic progress. This will be the basis on all near term foreign agreements. This ensures political games remain secondary to the economic brotherhood that we will cultivate. We will pursue for a single currency with our two neighbors for our own prosperity. Healthy and mutually beneficial economies with our neighbors will deter any haphazard political, social, religious games to be played. Nepal is  ”neutral” on all affairs associated with China and India in the near term. Nepal’s relationship with China and India supersedes relationships with the rest of the world until all Nepalis are prosperous and educated to a level consistent with the developed nations of the world. We expect let our foreign policy to naturally evolve with time, or even mutate.

Individual uniqueness over society:

A Nepali decides the moral, ethical, religious rule inside you and your home. Similarly, your family decides the same within your home. The government and the society have no right over your private morals, thinking and ideologies and we will not impose our religious, political and ethical ideals upon your “private” self. Powerful expression of one’s uniqueness helps us in evolving to innovators and protectors of this world. Uniqueness is to be cherished, not muffled. We believe our sons and daughters will have to eventually evolve to be caretakers of this world they inherited, and safe-guard the environment they are part of. Innovation and creativity should never be stifled by the society or the political whim of the land. We want Nepalis to be powerful innovative men who will contribute to the global happiness.

Evolution as a standard philosophy: As times change, and with it, we and our thoughts shall evolve. We believe in the evolution of our basic principles of “common sense”. As times change, we will even mutate. If we stick to ‘status quo” principles which have stopped making sense with the changing scenarios, we become obsolete. The world is changing fast. Look where we have reached in 100 years, from primitive non flying men to evolved beings who can communicate thousand of miles away instantly. We will evolve to absorb any principles that work towards this open ended goal. We will set Nepal on a constant road of evolution. What works now, may not work tomorrow. We know that and we are vigilant towards that possibility. We embrace change through “common sense”.

In Summary:

Leaders of Nepal will work to make their own jobs obsolete. The more you self-sustain, the more they will disappear from your sight. This will be enshrined as one of the founding principles of our ideologies.
