Dear sons and daughters of Nepal,

We do not really know what the situation is like in our country. We have heard more rumours and less facts; and we have made our own judgement based on those rumours. Our opinions have been divided into almost two halves. One half supporting the King's move and the other half opposing the action. Almost all of us who are fortunate enough to live in the west at this torrid time are capable to think sensibly on this issue.So lets contemplate with the love for the country and citizens in mind now.

Some of us may have been victims of atrocities committed by the Maoists. Some may have suffered because of the corrupted political leaders. And some of us may have been the victim of injustice in the Panchayat era and at present. So we are expressing our vengeance against those who have made us to suffer. And therefore we are divided. The citizens who are educated, who have seen how democray functions, who know the fruits of social justice in a developed society; we are divided. And this is not a good sign for the future. Tommorow, we have to take the burden of Nepal in our shoulders. We have to hand the nation to our next generation. We have to make sure that we can hand over a peaceful and prosperous nation to our children and die. Otherwise we are not different to the previous generation which never got the oppurtunity like us to see the democracy and prosperity of the western world. Our children will blame us if we fail to do better things for our country.So let's try to be impartial, let's forget our personal interest, let's put away our vengeance against both sides of the debate.With a cool mind let's discuss what can we do at best to resolve the current crisis from our part. I will try to give my assement in the next thread on what can we expect in the near future and what is best for the country in the coming days. Please put your thoughts, unbiased and pragmatic, without spilling your anguish and hatred to all the sides- political parties, monarchy and maoists.I hope all of you will take part in this debate very seriously.
Newuser.

Kay yar give him a chance after all Who know may be he will be new leader to guide us in our near fuuuturay like Giiiiiirriiiiiija, paa raa chande, babuuurammmm, MN, SBthapa..... did for last 15 yrs.

Let him say whatever he wants yar after all its not gonna make any difference. Shit goes in and shit comes out. No matter where they live. No one can change their thinking.

Living in AMRICA won't make you democrat and you are not ready for dwoyuqwaxi. Ask yourself and you will know. And when you ask yourself ask sincerely.

No matter who comes in this present situation patience is what we need? And supportive is what we all should be. Mr Newuser if your were ruling our country right now and if you don't have support of your own people then do you think you can make any change or develop our country. Everyone knows what is prachanda and baburam doing.

(My statements are intended to pure mandales only, not to pro-monarchists)

First, Dear Mailadai I am not intimidated by any defamatory statements from the sons and daughters of mandalays who are afraid that the silent Nepalese people would be conscious about their snatched liberties and freedom and unite against tyranny. They were cornered for 15 long years and when their time has finally come after a long wait, it is obvious that they do whatever they want to protect their hope of exploiting Nepal's resources.These people are the 'lagotis' of Sharad chandra Shah, Tulsi Giri, Kirtinidhi Bista and so on. Therefore they think- 'oh ho balla hamra din aaye'. They want to extend their days as long as possible. But they have to face stiff challenge from conscious and idealistic people like us. Moreover the overwhelming majority of the international community has challenged strongly against tyranny so the mandales are having a nightmare. It is very much understandable.They want to supress the voices of people like us just not to let the connection between truth and general public. The ban on media is the best example and if there was 'inka bauko taagat' they would even ban sajha.com. They just dont see any other way to protect their 'kutsit swartha'. We shouldn't be discouraged to keep the flame burning. One day sooner or later, these mandales will be defeated. United we should be to defeat these bunch of thugs who are desperately adamant to maintain the new darkness for another thirty years.

Neither I am favouring politicians nor the maoists in this thread. Any educated person without a layer of 'mandaleko swartha ko jalo' in their mind can figure out that I am representing the voice of truly democrat people. I have categorically condemned the corrupted political leaders and violent maoists atrocities in every threads I have participated. I have said that the maoists should be liberal and offer the King a favourable condition for dialogue. So that the King's real intention of solving the problems will be exposed in front of the public. I have also said that the corrupt politicians should be punished. Otherwise, the king, as a person of having real power to correct the mess of the coutry if he has the right intentions, have to try to put together the political parties, maoists and the public to create peace and stability in the country. Maile bhane ko ta etti nai ho.
But these mandales are angry with me because if all people are given equal chance to participate in the country's mechanism, their hegemony will come to an end. Moreover these mandales sons and daughters are incapable of competing with the children of general Nepali public. So they want to reserve guaranteed protection to their interests and therefore support the Kings autocracy. Just scroll up and read how stupidly the children of some mandale thugs have reacted to my logical arguements(coffee and lokman). This must give you a small clue about the mandales intentions who are partiying wildly after Feb 1.
Nepal has been the victim of the feudal rule of some rich elites for centuries. The 15 years of multi party system couldn't take a new direction and stick to the old way of rule. Those politicians cannot be forgiven. WHy don't the old politicians who are nearing their death challenge against the tyranny right from now? If they are killed by the military's guns, may be there blood is purified and their past sins will be forgiven. And a new dawn of democracy will appear in the horizon. I think if Girija and Sushil Koirala and Sahana and Bharat mohan and Mohan Bikram Singh and others should better take bullets in their body for restoring democracy.For democracy had to pay the price of their stupid acts, wouldn't it be justifiable to repay for their stupidity? WHy don't the maoists stop killing innocent people and instead march unarmed towards narayanhiti and take bullets. After all they are dying for nothing in the hands of army. Now if the Politicians and the maoists want to restore freedom for the Nepalese people, they should be united and challenge the mandales who are very small in number. If they had punished the mandales according to the recommendation of the Mallik Commission, they wouldn't have been able to raise their heads. Still once democracy is restored, the Mallik report should be opened up and the mandales should be punished severely. For Gyanendra's part, if he really wants to save the tradition of Shah dynasty, he must close his ears to the mandales and try to conjure support from every parties including the Maoists. He must now damn the Mandales and listen to the voice of true democrats like us. King should know that the biggest danger to monarchy are not democratic party but the mandales themselves. If he can't realize this truth, monarchy is set to collapse in Nepal.

Assembly
Assembly of Notables, The. In French history an assembly of persons of distinction and political weight summoned by the Valois kings at their pleasure instead of convening the States General. It was the only concession made to consulting the will of the nation. They were called together by Richelieu in 1626-7 and not again until 1787, when Louis XVI was harassed by impending financial collapse. The last time they met was 6 November 1788.



Constituent Assembly
xreferplus
The first of the National Assemblies of the French Revolution, which sat from July 1789 until 1791, so called from its main objective of drawing up a new constitution.
After the Second World War a National Constituent Assembly of 522 deputies was elected in France, according to the constitution promulgated in October 1945. In 1997 there were 577 deputies, 555 for Metropolitan France and 22 for the overseas departments and territories.

National Assembly
On 17 June 1789, the Third Estate of the French States General proclaimed itself the National Assembly and in July the Constituent Assembly.

National Assembly
Encyclop?dia Britannica Article

French Assembl?e Nationale,
Any of various historical French parliaments or houses of parliament. From June 17 to July 9, 1789, it was the name of the revolutionary assembly formed by representatives of the Third Estate; thereafter (until replaced by the Legislative Assembly on Sept. 30, 1791) its formal name was National Constituent Assembly (Assembl?e Nationale Constituante), though popularly the shorter form persisted.

The name was not used again until the National Assembly of 1871?75, which concluded the Franco-German War and drafted the constitution of 1875. During the ensuing Third Republic (1875?1940), it was the joint name for the two houses of parliament, the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. During the Fourth Republic (1946?58), it was the new name of the lower house alone (the former Chamber of Deputies)?the name of the upper house (the former Senate) being changed to the Council of the Republic. For the Fifth Republic (beginning in 1958), the name National Assembly was retained for the lower house, and the upper house reverted to the name of Senate.

Popularly, the name National Assembly has often been used when referring to any constituent assembly (assembl?e constituante)?not only the National Constituent Assembly of the Revolution but also the Constituent Assembly of 1848 (which created the Second Republic) and the Constituent Assembly of 1945?46 (which created the Fourth Republic).

Revolution of 1848
Britannica Student Encyclopedia
Counterrevolution in France > Counterrevolution Triumphant
The June Days proved the beginning of the end for the revolutionary cause. Following the insurrection, the constituent assembly drafted a new constitution calling for the election of a president by universal suffrage. In December of that year, the population of France resoundingly elected Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte as president of the country, giving the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte some 75 percent of the popular vote. A political unknown, Louis-Napoleon united moderates, conservatives, and the French peasantry behind the promise of order.

The first French Revolution culminated in the launching of a revolutionary war to ?liberate? the peoples of Europe from tyrannical monarchies. Under Louis-Napoleon, the Second Republic embarked on a decisively counterrevolutionary mission, wiping out the last vestiges of revolutionary rule in Europe. While the French Republic remained in effect in theory, the advances won by the revolutionaries in early 1848 were steadily overturned. Among other measures, freedom of the press was drastically curtailed and on May 31, 1850, some 3 million French citizens were deprived of the vote. On Dec. 31, 1851, Louis-Napoleon did away with the trappings of the republic altogether, staging a coup d'?tat to overthrow the constituent assembly. Some 27,000 political opponents were arrested. One year later, Louis-Napoleon declared himself Emperor Napoleon III.



Constitent assembly Russian Uchreditelnoye Sobraniye,

popularly elected body that convened in 1918 in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) to write a constitution and form a government for postrevolutionary Russia. The assembly was dissolved by the Bolshevik government.

The election of the Constituent Assembly was held on Nov. 25, 1917 (November 12, Old Style). The Socialist Revolutionary Party, though only receiving a plurality of the vote (40 percent), won a majority of the seats. The Bolsheviks received a little less than 25 percent of the vote. Other parties won only a small number of delegates.

The Bolsheviks and their allies, the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, argued that this mandate was not valid and that the Soviets (where they were in control) more accurately reflected the public will.
When the Constituent Assembly convened on Jan. 18, 1918 (January 5, Old Style), it rejected the Bolsheviks' demand that it recognize the authority of the Soviet government. The Bolshevik delegates (and the Left Socialist Revolutionaries as well) walked out. The next day, troops loyal to the Soviet government dispersed representatives of the non-Bolshevik parties, and the government officially dissolved the Assembly.

All-Russian Constituent Assembly (Vserossiiskoe Uchreditelnoe Sobranie). The highest elected body on the territory of the former Russian Empire after the February Revolution of 1917. The assembly was empowered to define the new political structure and to approve the constitution of the federated Russian state that was postulated by the Russian Provisional Government. In March 1917 a special council was created to prepare a law for elections to the assembly. By September the council had worked out its proposals, based on a universal, direct, equal, and secret vote. The Provisional Government designated 25 November 1917 as election day.

At first the Bolsheviks demanded that the assembly be convened, but after they seized power in November they were critical of the elections because the lists of party candidates had been selected in September or October. The Bolsheviks took part in the elections, however.

Ukrainian political circles expected that the assembly would legislate a democratic-republican political system and the national rights of the non-Russian peoples. In its first proclamation (22 March 1917) the Central Rada stated that the Provisional Government would soon convene a constituent assembly. The All-Ukrainian National Congress (17?21 April 1917) recognized the right of the assembly ?to establish the political structure of the Russian Republic,? but also called on the Ukrainians to lay the foundations for Ukrainian autonomy before the assembly was convened. The First Universal, issued on 23 June 1917 (see Universals of the Central Rada), reiterated that the assembly should pass a law on Ukraine's autonomy. In its Second Universal (16 July 1917) the Central Rada promised to prepare a statute on Ukraine's autonomy and to present it to the All-Russian Assembly for ratification. The Third Universal (20 November 1917) stated that the assembly would determine the new state structure. Beginning in the second half of 1917, the Ukrainian parties and the Central Rada, seeking recognition for the sovereignty of the Ukrainian people, proposed the convening of the Constituent Assembly of Ukraine in addition to the All-Russian Constituent Assembly.

Only 54 of the 79 electoral districts reported the results of the voting. In Ukraine the elections to the Russian assembly took place on 10?12 December 1917 in eight districts. The results of the voting in Podilia were not reported. The outcome was a reflection of the political attitudes of the population during the revolution. Out of 36,260,000 votes cast throughout the territory of the former Russian Empire the Russian Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs) received 45.5 percent; the Bolsheviks, 24.9 percent; the Ukrainian Party of Socialist Revolutionaries, 9.5 percent; the Constitutional Democratic (kadet) party, 5.1 percent; the Russian Social Democratic Workers' party (Mensheviks), 1.8 percent; the Ukrainian Socialists (the name used at the front by the Ukrainian Socialist Revolutionaries and Social Democrats), 1.4 percent; and the Ukrainian Social Democratic Workers' party, 0.26 percent. In Ukraine the 7,580,000 votes cast were divided in the following way: the national groups (non-Russian parties) won 61.5 percent (among them the Ukrainian SRs won 45.3 percent); the Russian SRs, 24.8 percent; the Bolsheviks, 10 percent; and the Kadets, 3.7 percent. Of the 120 deputies elected in Ukraine, 71 were Ukrainian SRs, 2 were Ukrainian Social Democrats, 4 were from the national minorities (1 Pole, 2 Jews, 1 Moslem), 30 were Russian SRs, 11 were Bolsheviks, 1 was a Kadet, and 1 was from the Union of Landowners. In six districts where the bloc of Ukrainian socialist parties (SRs, the Peasant Association, and Social Democrats) presented a single list of candidates, it won a clear majority of the votes: 77 percent in Kyiv gubernia, 71 percent in Volhynia, 60 percent in Chernihiv gubernia, 60 percent in Poltava gubernia, 52 percent in Katerynoslav gubernia, and 33 percent in Tavriia gubernia. In Kharkiv gubernia and Kherson gubernia the Ukrainian and the Russian SRs ran together; therefore the Ukrainian SRs received only 12 percent of the votes in the former and 25 percent in the latter gubernia.

Besides the eight districts in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Socialists had 11 deputies elected at the front.

Some of the elected Ukrainian delegates (50 in all) met in Kyiv on 24 December 1917 and decided not to participate in the Russian assembly until the Constituent Assembly of Ukraine was convened.

The only session of the All-Russian Constituent Assembly took place in Petrograd on 18?19 January 1918. The Bolshevik-dominated All-Russian Central Executive Committee set forth an ultimatum demanding the ratification of the decrees of the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets on the transfer of all power to the soviets. When the assembly rejected this demand, the Bolsheviks dispersed the deputies and declared the assembly to be dissolved.

India- FIRST DAY IN THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY


The Constituent Assembly met for the first time in New Delhi on 9 December, 1946 in the Constitution Hall which is now known as the Central Hall of Parliament House. Decorated elegantly for the occasion, the Chamber wore a new look on that day with a constellation of bright lamps hanging from the high ceilings and also from the brackets on its walls.
Overwhelmed and jubilant as they were, the hon'ble members sat in semi-circular rows facing the Presidential dias. The desks which could be warmed electrically were placed on sloping green-carpeted terraces. Those who adorned the front row were Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Acharya J.B. Kripalani, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Smt. Sarojini Naidu, Shri Hare-Krushna Mahatab, Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Shri Sarat Chandra Bose, Shri C. Rajagopalachari and Shri M. Asaf Ali. Two hundred and seven representatives, including nine women were present.
The inaugural session began at 11 a.m. with the introduction of Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha, the temporary Chairman of the Assembly, by Acharya Kripalani. While welcoming Dr. Sinha and others, Acharyaji said: "As we begin every work with Divine blessings, we request Dr. Sinha to invoke these blessings so that our work may proceed smoothly. Now, I once more, on your behalf, call upon Dr. Sinha to take the Chair."
Occupying the Chair amidst acclamation, Dr. Sinha read out the goodwill messages received from different countries. After the Chairman's inaugural address and the nomination of a Deputy Chairman, the members were formally requested to present their credentials. The First Day's proceedings ended after all the 207 members present submitted their credentials and signed the Register.
Seated in the galleries, some thirty feet above the floor of the Chamber, the representatives of the Press and the visitors witnessed this memorable event. The All India Radio, Delhi broadcast a composite sound picture of the entire proceedings.
SOME FACTS

The Constituent Assembly took almost three years (two years, eleven months and seventeen days to be precise) to complete its historic task of drafting the Constitution for Independent India. During this period, it held eleven sessions covering a total of 165 days. Of these, 114 days were spent on the consideration of the Draft Constitution.
As to its composition, members were chosen by indirect election by the members of the Provincial Legislative Assemblies, according to the scheme recommended by the Cabinet Mission. The arrangement was: (i) 292 members were elected through the Provincial Legislative Assemblies; (ii) 93 members represented the Indian Princely States; and (iii) 4 members represented the Chief Commissioners' Provinces. The total membership of the Assembly thus was to be 389. However, as a result of the partition under the Mountbatten Plan of 3 June, 1947, a separate Constituent Assembly was set up for Pakistan and representatives of some Provinces ceased to be members of the Assembly. As a result, the membership of the Assembly was reduced to 299.
On 13 December, 1946, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru moved the Objectives Resolution

1.This Constituent Assembly declares its firm and solemn resolve to proclaim India as an Independent Soverign Republic and to draw up for her future governance a Constitution;

2.WHEREIN the territories that now comprise British India, the territories that now form the Indian States, and such other parts fo India as are outside British India and the States as well as such other territories as are willing to be constituted into the Independent Soverign India, shall be a Union of them all; and

3.WHEREIN the said territories, whether with their present boundaries or with such others as may be determined by the Constituent Assembly and thereafter according to the law of the Constitution, shall possess and retain the status of autonomous Units, together with residuary powers and exercise all powers and functions of goverrnment and administration, save and except such powers and functions as are vested in or assigned to the Union, or as are inherent or implied in the Union or resulting therefrom; and

4.WHEREIN all power and authority of the Soverign Independent India, its constituent parts and organs of government, are derived from the people; and

5.WHEREIN shall be guaranteed and secured to all the people of India justice, social economic and political : equality of status, of opportunity, and before the law; freedom of thought, expression, belief, faith, worship, vocation, association and action, subject to law and public morality; and

8.this ancient land attains its righful and honoured placed in the world and make its full and willing contribution to the promotion of world peace and the welfare of mankind.

This Resolution was unanimously adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 22 January 1947.
Late in the evening of 14 August, 1947 the Assembly met in the Constitution Hall and at the stroke of midnight, took over as the Legislative Assembly of an Independent India.

On 29 August, 1947, the Constituent Assembly set up a Drafting Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar to prepare a Draft Constitution for India. While deliberating upon the draft Constitution, the Assembly moved, discussed and disposed of as many as 2,473 amendments out of a total of 7,635 tabled.

The Constitution of India was adopted on 26 November, 1949 and the hon'ble members appended their signatures to it on 24 January, 1950. In all, 284 members actually signed the Constitution. On that day when the Constitution was being signed, it was drizzling outside and it was interpreted as a sign of a good omen.

The Constitution of India came into force on 2 6 January, 1950. On that day, the Assembly ceased to exist, transforming itself into the Provisional Parliament of India until a new Parliament was constituted in1952

Constituent Assembly (Italy)
A special assembly endowed with supreme authority which was elected with universal suffrage in June 1946 to draw up the new Italian constitution. It comprised 556 deputies who in December 1947 voted to approve the text, which had been prepared by a 75-member commission. It was chaired first by Giuseppe Saragat, then by Umberto Terracini. It also operated as a short-term, limited-function parliament, and approved the peace treaty Italy concluded with the World War 2 victors in 1947. It was dissolved in January 1948.

National Assembly
Eritrea: National Assembly
In accordance with transitional arrangements formulated in Decree No. 37 of May 1993, the National Assembly consists of the Central Committee of the People?s Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ) and 60 other members: 30 from the Provincial Assemblies and an additional 30 members, including a minimum of 10 women, to be nominated by the PFDJ Central Committee. The legislative body ?outlines the internal and external policies of the government, regulates their implementation, approves the budget and elects a president for the country?. The National Assembly is to hold regular sessions every six months under the chairmanship of the President. In his role as Head of the Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, the President nominates individuals to head the various government departments. These nominations are ratified by the legislative body. In March 1994 the National Assembly voted to alter its composition: it would henceforth comprise the 75 members of the Central Committee of the PFDJ and 75 directly elected members. In May 1997, following the adoption of the Constitution, the Constituent Assembly empowered a Transitional National Assembly (comprising the 75 members of the PFDJ, 60 members of the former Constituent Assembly and 15 representatives of Eritreans residing abroad) to act as the legislature until elections were held for a new National Assembly.

Is there anything to fear about constituent assembly?

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

How on the earth can anyone think "impartially" on entirely pollitical affairs and how do you expect anyone to do that ?

Ok may be on issues like civil service and criminal justice system, impartiality is very much expected but on distinctly political issues.....damn..

Yo Them Chilluns now not them talk about them iparsial things in da kingdom of Sajha. Him Sarkar gets angry and him ban you chilluns.

Them Emergency peopal bans them IP. I is just askin peopal to send my message.

''Bhrasta netaji afna maobadi karyakarta lai uchalera mrityu ko mukh ma falne kaam nagarnu yar. ''

I told you the above sentence just three days ago and this happened yesterday:

Khaubai, Only the sides having military might can win power bhannu hunthyo ni, who won power?

Nevertheless for people like you, the deaths of poor Nepalese hardly make any sense.

The same fate may occur with the Army or the police soon. Who knows? In a hide and sick game, sometimes one side suffer more loss and sometimes the other side.

Even if the army suffers less, the less number of body count in their side will only bolster the interest of Gyanendra and his henchmen to encourage more bloodshed.

Afnai daju bhai marera faida kasle liyo? Gyanendra ra Prachanda le.

Thats why I say don't fight to each other. Why dont the army and the maoists gun down their supremos instead of fighting against each other? Why they die for the comforts of their bloody commander-in-cheifs?

And these shameless politicians, they are waiting for the pressure from international commmunity. India ra America le feri kurshi ma rakhdela ra bhudi phutne gari khaula bhanera parkhirachhan. Why don't they go to streets on their own and call for both the warring side to stop bloodshed. Janatalai bheda banaera satta ma jaane shakuni haru.

And see these educated people residing in Europe and Americas. They are supporting violence in the country. One supporting Maoists and the other King. Some children of corrupt politicians are dancing in there own tune. Khai ali ali padheka dekheka Nepali ko buddhi aaeko?

Guys let's call everybody to end this series of violence and atrocities. lets call them to start dialogue. Kati Nepali Aama ko kakh ritto huna dine? Kati Nepali cheli ko siudo pucchina dine? Kati Nepali keta keti lai tuhuro banna dine? Kebal Gyanendra, Prachanda, Girija ra Makune ko swartha ka lagi Nepali haru kina bivajit bhaera ladne?

Come and join me to call everybody- the King, the Maoists and the politicians to unite for peace in the country. Baru jati man lagchha teti desh ko dhukuti rittto garau, but don't incite killings of fellow Nepalese. Pls Pls Pls. This is too much.

Gyanendra is softening the freedoms of Nepalese people, see this:

Great democratic King Gyenendra will cull down the violence, and hand over flawless democracy to the political parties in 3 years.
