Freedom At Midnight

Freedom At Midnight
It was crowded night at 23 April 2006, People were furious and frustrated with king and his autocratic Government. It was right 11 pm on 23 April 2006, everybody tuned to the media channels and televisions. King was giving his speech for the people of Nepal. He accepted the people as the supreme power and finally agreed to restore the parliament. King was breaking his own government. People left house and went down to streets for demonstration. It was to share the joy of victory over the autocracy. Nepalese people have flowed the flood of blood many times in the history. In the war against English, against Tibet/Chinese, against other states and lots of times. But for the people ‘s welfare, for the right of people there was few greatest revolution in the history. The revolution without violence. Millions of people participated in the demonstration.
In the 20 days Non-violent revolution thousands of them injured, dozens of them killed. The children, youths, adults and almost everyone were in the street when there was curfew in the major cities of the country.
In 1950, 1960, 1971, 1978, 1988, there were some great demonstrations. But at the midnight of 23 April, it was said that the people of Nepal were independent and were the supreme power; more powerful than the king. After few days, the restored parliament declared that the Govt. is not the His Majesty’s but it was Nepal Government. Government of 25 million people. The declaration of the parliament made people the supreme power and restored all the human rights and cancelled all the Acts and sections in the law which was made to run the autocratic government.
Some people didn’t want this to happen whereas millions of people were waiting for this since hundreds of years. Now Maoists are being very positive and are supporting Govt. and people to formulate new rules and policies. Now we can do legal things from the name of mother too. Earlier we couldn’t identify ourselves from the name of mother but now we can. Hopefully there will be lots of positive change in the country. Once again we will be able to call this country NEPAL, THE LAND OF PEACE. Lets hope the freedom delivered at midnight will last forever in this Himalayan Kingdom as long as THE THIRD POLE (Mount Everest) stands at the top of the world.
