Using transition period as a springboard

Transition period could be useful for any country if there were some visionary leaders who could manage the situation tactically and amicably. It is the time when all the latent ideas, motives, ideologies, biases, discriminations and the rest come to the surface. Everybody is loud during such period. It helps to alter or rewrite the modern history of the nation.

Take an example of Nepal, almost all the cultural, ethnic, social and professional groups have already articulated their demands and preferences. After years of suppression various ethnic groups have raised their voices. Various groups have used democratic methods to create the pressure on the government and society whereas some have taken the route of violence and arms.

This is the high time to recognize the individuals or groups that are working for the society or against. All the state mechanisms should be ready to assess the situation and act accordingly for such time could be a foundation for the creation of better society. The backward societies and people can use it as a springboard for their journey to the progress and prosperity.

But, alas! Not a single leader who could understand this is not seen around us. For a foreseeable future we are doomed to be in such situation. The same corrupt leaders will continue to rule over us. Democracy has become Shaw’s ‘Hot balloon’. We have no chance to go up because somebody has already booked the balloon for more than once in their lifetime.
