In the name of secularism, most if Nepalese leaders have been felling their personal interest and these people have also put the country’s integrity and security on a stake. Religion is the way that helps every person formulate his life’s journey successfully. Hinduism was not rejected by the people of Nepal. Credit goes to Girija Prasad Koirala and his team who helped abolish the 240-year-old Hindu monarchy and transforming the impoverished country into a secular republic. I am not sure whether his contribution to Nepal is worth it or not but time will show and history will be written for his deeds.
When we the Nepalese people needed a National leader like Nehru, we got a politician in the form of Girija Prasad Koirala, whose sole aim was to cling on to the PM post as long as he could. He lead the corrupt behaviour of politicians. The foundation of the current miserable state of Nepal has alot to do with the actions he took.
