How receptive is Nepalese society to economic freedom? A principled case vs a pragmatic
Every decade, someone argues that Nepal needs economic reform because it will produce growth, reduce poverty, lift incomes. These things are true. And every decade, the argument dies when a recession comes, or inequality rises, or a politician promises a better distribution of whatever GDP we managed to produce. We start over. The cycle repeats.
Kina? Because the whole thing aproaches it from pragmatic prospective and not pincipled prospective.
Kina? because of this one unexamined premise jun our society embraces as a bramhashatya: A social system must justify itself by what it delivers to the collective. Once you accept that, ofcourse another social system does that more on paper, or that the current one does it unequally then whole thing gets diverted implicitly and feri arko decade ma restart the cycle.
Instead, we need a principled case. Because the moral is the practical.
A principled argument, made and held, changes the ground on which every future political argument stands. Once we establish that each person's productive effort belongs to him by right, every new regulation, every new license, every new fee must defend itself against that standard. The burden of proof shifts. The political class must justify each act of coercive intervention, not assume its legitimacy by default.
Over 2.5 million of us left Nepal in three years. Remittanses now account for nearly 29% of GDP. Each person who left made a judgment: my effort produces a better return somewhere that does not consume it before I see it. That judgment is the principled case stated in action.
Here is an attempt to make a principled case.
- Man's mind is his basic means of survival. Everything each of us needs, every piece of food on the table, every roof over a head, every medicine that works, had to be discovered by someone's mind and produced by someone's effort. Production is the application of reason to the problem of survival. A theory describes a possibility. This describes what is already happening every time any human being stays alive.
- Because this is true, the right to act on your own judgment and keep the product of your effort is not a policy preferrence. It is a condition of existence required by human nature. The Newar merchant who crossed the Himalayas to Lhasa with a caravan of 100 yaks did not need a philosophical argument. He needed two things: a counter party willing to trade, and the freedom to set terms. That right belonged to him because he was a thinking, producing human being. Not because a government granted it.
- Capitalism is the only social system built on the recognition of that right. Every person keeps what they earn. Every trade happens on terms both parties accept. No man or group may use force against another to take what he did't earn. The governent's only legitimate function is to protect this principle, not to manage commerce, not to license your labor, not to extract its share from every productive transaction before you see yours.
- The moral justification for this system does not lie in what it delivrs to "society." It lies in what it is: the only system consonant with man's rational nature, the only one whose ruling principle is justice. If capitalism also happens to produce more wealth than any alternative, that is a consequence of getting the principle right. The consequence is not the justification. The nature of man is the justification.
Are Gen Z and Gen Alpha more money minded and materialistic?
My assessment is purely based on interactions with younger generation and mostly social media.
Growing up, money and extreme materialistic needs was never a primary concern for us. It was something I believe we set aside for later in life, something that’s bound to happen once we complete our studies and get a job. Friends came from all different backgrounds, some were rich and some modest, but we never made unnecessary demands and we were happy with what we got mostly. We were just chilling and enjoying our lives with no care about money and materialism.
But a pattern I noticed these days is how younger generation these days are hyper focused on these stuff. Everyone needs IPhone or motorbike or best clothes right after getting out of school. We’d dread to make such expensive demands at home even if we could afford it. Every other day, I see posts of late teenagers and early 20s worried about making money or trying different things to make money, and I remember how chill we were in their age. Money was something we never worried about primarily.
I believe GenZ and Gen Alpha grew up with social media, so it might have influenced their outlook greatly.
This couldn’t be true for everyone. Just my opinion and curiosity based on my life experiences and observations.
Those of us living abroad with aging parents back in Nepal — how do you manage their healthcare from so far away?
My parents are in Nepal and managing their health from Australia is honestly one of the most stressful parts of my life. When they need to go to hospital there's no one reliable to take them, coordinate with doctors, or even just keep me informed about what's going on.
I'm using relatives right now but I feel guilty relying on them constantly and honestly the communication is still a mess.
Curious if others are in the same boat — how are you handling it? Have you found anything that actually works? Or is everyone just winging it like me?

Zen-z and their obsession with vibes
Why everything has to be about vibes with zen-z ? Why does it matter so much to them ? Is it something we milennials have missed or just a very abstract term just for aesthetics ?

As I grew older I think I lost touch with most friends, not that I have many to begin with anyway but weirdly enough i guess its important to have a sense of community ani though its online and anonymous some stuff helps recha.
Should i let go or keep trying to get 15k from my friend?
So, 2 years ago my bachelor college friend called me saying he needs money urgent and started asking about 1lakh i said i don't have 1lakh. Until he sais it's emergency please. So i said ok if that's the case then i gave him 15k. He said he will return tommorrow. Then he said 1 week later and he stopped calling and messaging and he has been ignoring my calls and messages. i did tried everything from messaging calling from every way possible. I guess he keeps on ignoring me recently he got married. I have been seeing his post with his wife. I haven't reacted or commented yet. But now i am confused should i just let 15k go or comment or message his wife? I mean public humiliation garam ki jasto lagirako cha tara feri bichara bharkhar bihe bhako beijat hola socchu. K garda huhcha? Any suggestions? Should i let go or keep persuating it?
Divorce scenario in Nepal
As a lawyer, one of the biggest mistakes I see before divorce cases?
People suddenly empty their bank accounts, hide money or sell off their property, or make emotional financial decisions because they’re angry.
That usually makes everything worse.
Even when emotions are justified and discreet, courts tend to look very carefully at financial behavior including all the movable and immovable assets during divorce proceedings.
Drop in your divorce query and I shall try to answer it in simplest language possible.
मैले जस्तै समस्या अरु कसैले भोगेको छ?
दुई वर्ष अगाडिको कुरा हो मलाई मेरो पासपोर्ट renew गर्नुपर्ने थियो आवश्यक कागजात सबै बोकेर कार्यालय पुगियो। NID पनि जरुरी रहेछ अनिवार्य बनाउनुपर्ने यसमा कुनै समस्या भएन तर पासपोर्टको कुरामा कर्मचारीले मेरो नागरिकतामा मेरो उमेर हेरे पश्चात् म अहिलेसम्म अविवाहित छु भन्ने कुरामा यसरी प्रश्न गरियो की म यो उमेरमा अविवाहित बसेर मैले कुनै ठुलो अपराध गरेँ, म अहिलेसम्म अविवाहित किन छु भनेर आफ्नो वडा कार्यालय गएर 5 जना साक्षी राखेर मुचुल्का उठाएर वडा अध्यक्षको हस्ताक्षर सहितको निवेदन लेखेर लिएर आउनुहोला भनेर मलाई फर्काईयो। यो कस्तो नियम हो?
अविवाहित बस्नु कसैको इच्छा हुनसक्छ अनि कसैको वाध्यता।
Marriage Trends in Nepal
A lot of people in Nepal still think court marriage is only for couples running away from family pressure, or just for inter-case/inter-country marriage. But that’s not really the case anymore.
Many couples choose court marriage because:
✔️ It creates formal legal recognition of the marriage.
✔️ It can be useful for documentation and future legal processes.
✔️ Inter-caste and inter-religious couples often prefer it.
✔️ Nepali citizens marrying foreign nationals commonly use this route.
✔️ Some simply prefer a legal process first and ceremonies later.
As a Lawyer, one thing that surprised me was that many people are confused about the process itself. Questions like:
Can we do online marriage?
Can foreigners marry in Nepal?
Is temporary residence required?
How long does the process actually take?
What documents are needed?
The amount of misinformation around this topic is pretty huge.
For anyone who has gone through court marriage in Nepal: What was your experience? Was the process straightforward or unexpectedly complicated? And if you're planning for a court marriage, I might guide your matrimonial journey with ease.
