Notes From The Editor
From announcing the decision prohibiting public meetings in some places, censuring the visit of people in Singh Durbar Secretariat, issuing harsh directives to NGOs and INGOs and confronting with Dr. Govinda KC, presenting Medical bill in the parliament unilaterally, the government has given powerful ammunitions to the opposition.

Defying traditions, family rules and cultures always comes with a price. Maharajkumari Rama Kumari Malla, a daughter of the late Prime Minister Maharaja Padma Shumshere Jung Bahadur Rana, a liberal prime minister, who quit his position rather than compromising his belief, had to pay a price, too. As her father left the country, Maharajkumari Malla rebelled against all odds and stood firmly to live on her wishes and conscience in the country. As she was confident of herself and her mission, Maharajkumari Malla drove her life as per her wishes. For her relatives, her self confidence resembled arrogance or egoism. A successful tourism entrepreneur, Maharajkumari Malla, who has been traveling around the world and attending high level ceremonies representing the Mahrajkumaris of Nepal, narrates her stories, which are full of rebellion, in the context of the contemporary aristocratic society

JP CROSS: Nepal’s Son
One does not need to be born in a particular country to express love and loyalty for it. Love and loyalty to the nation are related to the heart and mind of individuals. Although JP Cross, a Gurkha Veteran, was born in England, he chose to live in Nepal as a Nepali, showing all about the love, affection and loyalty to his adopted country. After almost two decades of struggle, JP Cross secured a Nepali citizenship and what has changed is his status from being British to a Nepali but his love and loyalty to this country has remained the same, as ever. As Nepal and United Kingdom celebrated the bicentennial of the establishment of relations two years ago, JP Cross symbolizes the deep rooted relationship between the two countries
