While the nation already was suffering from its political instability, on April 25th 2015, it was stuck by another disaster that has now dragged the nation and its people in a deep trauma. An earthquake of 7.8M destroyed many homes, swayed many lives away and destroyed large numbers of cultural heritages that were also renowned by UNESCO as world heritage. The loss that the nation suffers is unbearable and have broken many people's heart yet, they are trying their best to gather as one and rebuild the nation.
Apart from all the Nepalese people living abroad, many foreigneers have been generous in helping Nepal in its time of real need, by donating their hard-earned money or by giving away clothes, medicines, blankets or food materials. As a Nepalese, I would like to express my gratitude to all those humble souls for each of their helps does count and mean a lot to a small and suffering nation like Nepal, Thank You. Help has had also been dedicated from many international governments though some countries only mocked to help while keeping their presence in Nepal only for fulfilling their purpose. My sincere thanks to all those rescue and relief officers who served the nation with their heart.
It was quite a shame to see how the Nepalese government reacted to this turmoil, infact, did they even react? For days after the incident, no government representative made a public announcement to acknowledge the fact or to console its people that they are being looked after. The people had long lost faith in the politician but this quake has finally given the people the voice to rebel openly against the fruitless government and vain politicians. It should not be a topic of debate to say that the government of Nepal is highly corrupt but how disgraceful are these "morons in power" to be so treachorous even at such times.
To all those people, both Nepalese and non-Nepalese, who have casted their help to the nation, please do not rest assured for there remains doubts that whether your efforts have reached the needy or has it found warmth in the pockets of filthy politicians and their shareholders. Even if you had made your donations through a reputed NGO, it still doesn't acertain that your contributions are being used to the fullest, for I have lost my hope on such NGOs after the 2012 KONY hoax. Many such organiztions use media to manipulate our minds and we are too busy in our lifes to keep track of how things are running.
There is a lot to learn for Nepal from Haiti, a nation quite similar to Nepal, that also got hit by similar disaster just 5 years ago. Despite they recieved billions in aid, the situation in Haiti has not got any better. To learn more about it please do watch the following video.
On a foot note, to my fellow countrymen, Please be aware and share awareness. Donot rely or keep expectation from government, NGOs, INGOs or international aid(s), this nation belongs to us and it is our duty and responsibility to re-build it. Do not think through the perception of any party, religion or cast but think as a citizen. Let us take this lesson from Haiti in our hearts and minds and let us promise that we will not let our country be further shatterd and sheared by the filthy hands of the corrupt minds. And always keep in mind, "United, we stand. Divided, we fall", so let us not fall for we need to rise back and we need to rise as high as the Everest.
