원문정보

Geographically Nepal has a big diversity with structure of land which is another hindrance for development. Many cold, snowy mountains lie in the north, the hot plains lie in the south and the hilly area in the midland. So it can be divided into three regions in different climates from the North to the South. The climate varies in different parts of Nepal- very cold in north, moderately normal in the midland and hot in the south. Nepal is a country of diversity not only in terms of geographical features but also in terms of castes and ethnicities, languages, religions, ecology, society and culture. The biodiversity of Nepal comprises various birds, animals, insects, plants and forests. Such type of diversity has made Nepal a unique country in the world. Moreover, Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha and Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world lie in Nepal. Nepal is a country of unity in diversity in terms of castes, cultures, customs and even geography. Since ancient times, the Nepalese people have been showing their solidarity and understanding among each other. The Nepalese faced autocracy of the Rana regime and also experienced the despotic rule in the Panchayat regime. After the restoration of the multiparty system in 1990 A.D., they had a sense of freedom and consequently they endeavored to enrich their respective cultures. But these days in the names of castes, religions and ethnicities, disputes among people are increasing and it has triggered a worry of the lack of national unity and solidarity. There is an urgent need for the mutual ties among the people with multicultural and multi religious practices in the country. There should be political stability for the sustainable development of Nepal. People from different castes, cultures and religions should embrace the benefits of inclusion and all the Nepalese must have a common sense of brotherhood towards each other. Moreover, they should have a common agenda to make Nepal really new and prosperous.
