Causes of Violence

Gandhi is remembered for his message of NON VIOLENCE..... but India (Gandhi's experimental object) is today, one of the most violent places on this planet. There is so much greed and corruption .... the fundamentals of violence!

Something is terribly wrong ..... we cannot 'preach' non violence and expect it to 'happen'!

We have to DEAL WITH THE ROOTS OF VIOLENCE .... 1) Consumerism, 2) Poverty, and 3) Religion

CONSUMERISM is what causes… Continue

When will violent groups learn

Kathmandu, Nepal, — If violence succeeds, the subsequent history of this beautiful world is likely to follow the history of many countries that adopted violence or terrorism for a while, only to reject them later, after their failures became obvious. The governments of many countries have adopted violence as a strategy. All have failed.

Desperate people welcome new ideologies, so it is not surprising that the people would welcome violent groups. Initially, they would fare well with… Continue

Pain of losing a friend

Kamala Sarup, Kathmandu, Nepal : There is no security and no rights for Nepali women. These days, there is no security for women even in their homes, workplaces and public places. My eyes were full of tears.

I arranged my hair, and I looked at myself in front of the mirror. I lit the stove and boiled tea in a kettle. My heart began to boil like the tea in the pot. My women's rights activist friend Rupa and I had been good friends in school, when she was in 9th grade and I was in 10th… Continue

Mahatma Gandhi's and Mine Appear

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in the town of Porbander in the state of what is now Gujarat on October 2, 1869. Gandhi believed that the edifice of lasting peace could be erected only on the foundation of love, compassion, tolerance, coexistence and non-violence. Peace and non-violence are the only sane choices in an increasingly violent world.

I show my love and respect to Gandhi, writing a poem on Gandhi.

Violence against women

Kathmandu, Nepal, — This is a true story. Recently, my friend Chandrakala was brutally gang-raped in Biratnagar, Nepal. After she was raped, she sent me a letter about how Nepal’s bad political situation, war and bad leadership has allowed for women to be raped. Biratnagar’s political and security situation is bad. It's bad in Kathmandu too. It is especially bad news for women's safety. In fact, society’s outlook towards raped women in Nepal is not good.

Political activities go on in… Continue

Older People still don’t receive love, respect

The world celebrated the International Day of Older Persons on Oct. 1. But many older people still don’t receive the love, respect and recognition that they should.

I am working at a local hospital these days. The majority of people there are very old, around 85 years of age. They are alone. They are sick. I listen to them. One lady, Rita, had a degree in music and dance; she died this morning.

She was old and sick. She tried to make her life known. She told me last week… Continue

My meeting with writer Parijat

My meeting with writer Parijat

Kathmandu, Nepal, — The popular Nepali woman writer Bishnu Kumari Waiba, known as Parijat, died in 1993. When I met Parijat, I was a 12 years old. Parijat created a sense of love, a sense of relationship and a sense of humanism. She loved her poems very much, and could tolerate any pain.

Parijat told me seriously, “Kamala, sometimes I get pain in my heart. So I write.” I couldn’t keep from smiling. These words made me smile. Her soft voice… Continue

Christmas is a celebration of love, peace and happiness.

Kathmandu, Nepal, — Mary is my good friend. I remember the times we used to go out for walks regularly and Mary used to get her daughter along. It is a good break from domestic chores. Once in a week we also used to go out for lunch, which was another nice break from home cooked food.

Today is Christmas and Mary called. "Thank you for your lovely Christmas card, Kamala. How are you? Do you like it there? I am doing well. I still like going up the mountains and I still want to live… Continue

Mahatma Gandhi and peace

Kathmandu, Nepal, — Mahatma Gandhi is greatly respected as one who championed non-violent action. He re-wrote the meaning of forgiveness, non-violence and love by adopting peaceful means to fight for rights.

With peace as a weapon of action, with forgiveness as a means towards love, he defeated violence and fought for the freedom of the oppressed and marginalized communities under British rule in India and in South Africa. The meaning of peace is to offer happiness.

He… Continue

Working for the development of women

Working for the development of women :

I present an award to a local woman in Nepal, May 2008, as my friend Suchitra and other women look on. Kathmandu, Nepal, — Literacy means the ability to read and write and is a key to the development of women in Nepal. For the many illiterate women in Nepal, the mere ability to read and write is a big step towards doing well in life and society. Thus, my interest to contribute towards increasing literacy in women. I was eager to write about my…
