 Sad demise of a sincere social worker, genuine thinker and a promising leader

It was a shocking news to hear that Ujwal Thapa, founder of Bibekshil Nepali, passed away at the age of 44 Nepal yesterday afternoon, while undergoing treatment at Mediciti Hospital.

Nepal has lost a sincere social worker, promising initiator and an inspiring political leader who had the courage and commitment to finally lift the country with the gift of good governance. He was the inspirational figure to many youths who ignited a social movement against corruption and social evils and laid the foundation of alternative politics in Nepal. His sincere initiation was to create accountable and ethical leaders to build a peaceful and prosperous Nepal.

“Can a small house continue to exist in between two skyscrapers?” At a function, a stranger bluntly asked me, hinting at Nepal’s reality between India and China. I have quoted this from his personal blog WhyNepal.com link to visit his blog https://www.whynepal.com. He writes in his blog about this looked-like “blunt question” on the way back home, made him thinking deeper. Whether it’s a house or a nation, their very survival depends on how they get along with their neighbours and how their neighbours perceive them. And that depends on the behaviour of that house or that nation. If our neighbours perceive us as beggars, good-for-nothing types, then they will be tempted to “cure” us, in other words, they “intervene” on our internal affairs.

 I, as a blogger, appreciated his way of putting down his thoughts in his blog in such a way that tempted readers to go through his posts related to insensible and irresponsible political activities of so-called senior leaders and how to end corruption and bad governance in Nepal. It will be the responsibility of Bibekshil Sajha Party’s young leaders to follow Thapa’s noble thoughts and ideas to be the alternative political force in the coming days.
