Live video call from Everest summit causes controversy

KOSH RAJ KOIRALA
KATHMANDU, May 20: "It´s a very proud moment to be here. It´s been two-and-a-half-years in the making," said a British explorer Daniel Thomas Hughes in the first ever video call from the top of the Mount Everest, Sunday morning.

The video call made via smartphone from the highest peak in the world was aired live by BBC World. As per the request made by the TV anchor, Hughes had briefly panned around his smartphone from the top of the Everest, showing BBC audience across the globe a spectacular view of the snow-clad mountains.

  THE MARZINALIZED "Inclusion" in political parties: Is it merely a popular slogan?  
  BY MEGHRAJ RASAILI  
 
Most parties are not interested to include marginalized community members in their central committee.

After the ten-year Maoist “People’s War,” the terminology “inclusion” has been strongly established in Nepali governance, politics and I/NGOs environs. Specially, the political parties and their leaders never forget to mention Dalits, women, Adibasis, Janajatis and Madhesis in their speeches, manifestos, party constitutions, policies and programs.

But if we see these very parties’ internal structures, the reality is quite the opposite. Most parties are not interested to include marginalized community members in their central committee. This practice is also common within regional fringe parties and the three big parties.
