Rana Regime
Rana Regime
Several decades after Prithvi Narayan Shah were characterized by
power politics of conspiracy. Taking advantage of very young kings, regents as
well as countries indulged in conspiracies for power. Such political
instability, regents as well as countries indulged in conspiracies for power. Such
political instability paved way for the rise of Jung Bahadur, whose family had
long been in contact with the place. As a clever youth, Jung Bahadur availed of
the situations in the Kot Massacre. Immediately he was appointed Commander –
In-Chief and then Prime minister. Thus, the event of mass killing marked the
beginning of Rana autocracy that would govern Nepal for next 104 years. Two
other similar episodes –Bhandarkhal Event and Alau Event contributed further to
the rise of his power. He was also favoured strongly by the East India Company.
Following
Jung Bahadur, eight Rana Prime Ministers inherited the throne according to
rules of succession. They exercised absolute power and made the Kings their
puppet. Some Ranas even changed the rules in favour of their families. Ranoddip
was killed and Dev Shumsher and Padma Shumsher were forcefully discharged for
the purpose. With the exception of one or two, the Rana Prime ministers were
very cruel, unjust and extravagant. They embezzled public property and lived in
indecent luxury. With lifeblood support from the British East India Company and
suppression of public freedom and strong control over education and outside
influence, they tried to sustain their rule.
Despite
their despotic nature, Ranas also brought several reforms in the country.
Social evils such as slavery and sati system were abolished. Agriculture got
diversified and industrialization began to take a shape. However, most of their
reforms might be either for gaining public support for their autocratic rule or
for enlarging their luxury. Ranas also maintained intimate relations with some
countries such as Britain and France. Peace and Security would not be violated
at least by the ordinary citizens.
Rana regime was founded at the cost of many innocent
lives and it was doomed to collapse. Conspiracies and takeovers remained a
commonplace. One would try to rise at the cost of others. From the very
beginning ordinary people had developed hatred and distaste for the system
through they could not bring it out until they got strong leadership. Finally
the time came. The East India Company, the foundation of the Ranas collapsed.
There was worldwide wave of political changes after World War II. Here in
Nepal, an armed revolution was staged under the leadership of Nepali Congress
Party which had its own liberation army. Many Nepalese, who had fought in the
Indian Freedom Moment, come back and used their expertise in the agitation in
Nepal. As it turned out, the national government of India supported the armed
agitation. Meanwhile, the reigning king Tribhuwan abdicated the throne and was
received in New Delhi, where a tripartite agreement was concluded between the
king, the Ranas and the revolutionaries under an active mediation of the Indian
government. Accordingly, a Rana-Congress coalition government was formed with
the monarchy fully restored.

Importance of character
Importance of character
Character
refers to the set of qualities, especially mind’s, that simply make a person,
group of people, and places distinctive from others. Every action of a person
is truly guided by his/her character. So a good character becomes a reputation
and property. It is an essence of a virtuous human being. It is rightly said
that character is the crown and glory of life.
A
good character makes a man respectful in the society. He/ She can set ambitious goal in their life
and make great achievements. There are many examples of this kind of people
such as Florence Nightingale. She was committed to work for the diseased and
injured people who were left uncared. She could establish nursing as a worthy
and recognized profession. So she is always famous. Other people such as Laxmi
Prasad Devkota, Madam Curie and Mother Teresa are so great because of their
character. These people are counted not because of their money or anything else
but for their character.
A
good character earns prestige, happiness, respect, satisfaction and internal
peace. Hence we should always try to adopt qualities of great personality and
follow their footsteps. Character can’t be achieved with money. If we have
money but no character, we are respected by none. We will be none in the
society. Character is not a commodity that can be bought or sold. It is the
thing that we should build up in ourselves. Character building must be one of
the primary purposes of education. Today’s education includes character education
in its curriculum in one way or another. Pupils are instructed in the basic
human values and morals.
We
should never lose our character. Instead we should enhance it. According to a
Liberian educator E. W. Blyden, “if you are not yourself, if you surrender your
personality, you have nothing left to give the world.” Thus, character should
be maintained. It is the character that enables a person to live a worthy life
and earn an immortal recognition. Finally our character compares with no
financial gains. Money comes and goes but once character is lost, it is very
hard to regain it. So character is much more important money.

Student life
Student life
The time one spends as a student to get
education from formal institutions like school and college is called student
life. Though the process of learning continues throughout our life, student
life is especially important because we are more goal-oriented in this period.
Future of every student depends upon the education that they achieve during
this period. It is a kind of preparation for future.
Student
life is a period of learning. Learning means much more than just preparing
lessons and passing exams. In fact, most of the bases of future have been
created through education gained in this period. Similarly, student life is a
period of forming good character. A girl or a boy having good education can
become a good person; useful not only for the family and society but also for
the whole nation. If one does not make good use of this time, no doubt they
will have to regret throughout their life.
Different
people choose their profession according to their education and skills. So, as
a student one has to make good choice of subjects and faculty. Some like to
become doctors, some teachers and so on. Whatever their goals be all students
must utilize this time properly. In this time, people also acquire various life
skills so that they can live a worthy life. They also learn important social
virtues such as fellow felling, cooperation and tolerance. So, properly
educated people can easily adjust in their society.
Student
life is a precious phase of life. So the main duty of a student is to study
well. Otherwise they will have to suffer. Students should be disciplined and
dutiful for an accomplishment. They should have respect for their sources of
knowledge such as books and teachers. They should try to make best use of the
available means and resources. Learning should be taken as fun not as a burden.
The time in this period should also be spent joyfully. Games and sport are
vital to refresh the body and mind. Students should try to be more and more
inquisitive and creative. They should keep good company because their learning
process and character can be highly influenced by the company they keep.
