As we see that the prominent political players are probably plotting a grand design for the next 300 years in the name of new Nepal and Constitutional Assembly. Most probably they do not want to see any indigenous political party in the competitive field as they are going to close the door for indigenous people by putting the dead line of party registration as early as possible ? January 14, 2008, that means 4 days more now.

Hurry up intellectuals! don’t let them close the door for indigenous people participating and writing the new constitution. But Let janajati intellectuals enter as many as possible through our own political party. let's not miss the deadline, whoever are available in Kathmandu, please register our own party in any name---so that indigenous people can unite under one single umbrella----Any brave indigenous intellectuals who are physically present in Nepal at this moments should lead the initiation of party registration with any names such as “Nepal Indigenous Democratic Alliance”, or “Nepali People’s Alliance” or “Nepali Indigenous Alliance for Democracy” etc. Because, if we miss this oppertunity, the viscious cycle of confusion repeats and we can not even enter the room where the new constitution will be written without the blessing of major party leaders.

On many occasions of indigenous people's gathering, right from the beginning of Global Federation of Indigenous people of Nepal (GFIPN) in New York in 2005, I have expressed the need of a independent indigenous political party in Nepal as the common concern of all indigenous people to be able to compete with “Bahun deminated polical parties”. Our ultimate goal should be to remove the corrupt and evil minded politicians from the scene.

Our efforts through NGO is not enough. Although Non profit or social or ethnic based organization are useful for the awareness activities, however, they can not compete with political parties in policy decisions. NGO/Non profit can only make voice, ask for justice, demand for rights and equality/equity but can not compete and fight in the field. We must not expect from them but we must knock down and defeat them in the political battle field.

As I expressed earlier in few occasions, I preferred the word “Kirats” to “Janajati” because, the first one was the original and second one was given by others. As you know, we have to find out the specific answer to a very important question as to why the majority of the indigenous people (72%) are marginalized, oppressed and suppressed by the current ruling elites in Nepal? why are we deprived of national resources. The answer is easy but not straight forward.

As you all know, the grand parents of the current prominent political elites were full time refugee trying to survive through Hindu religious influence during the first 300 years of the last 600 years when Kirats (the original name of Janajati) were in power in all mountainous/Himalayan regions/countries. Somehow with their shrewd strategies, religious influences, socio-political grand design and conspiracy they became the major political players and destroying their cultures, religion, language and scripts, they divided kirats or janajati emotionally into small subgroups and defeating politically they also dispersed/isolated kiarts/janajati geographically and separating physically in different localities and thus they deprived kirats/janajati from educational opportunity and they even sold these innocent own human beings as mercenary exposing to world wars in order to remove from their homeland.

Thus, their first and second grand designs have been successful as indigenous people mostly disappeared from the political scene during the second half of the last 600 years.
Now they are going to plot a third grand design.
We must be ready to defend our position from this grand design this time.

Thank you all,
