After two decades of the establishment of the republic, there has been a radical change in the character and nature of Nepalese politics. It is not a 'service', it has become a 'business'. Until recently, those who say 'we see politics not as a profession, but as a religion and social service' have not been able to come out of the greed to accumulate wealth.

The facts that all the leaders of the country, big or small, are involved in many scams and scams have been uncovered. The influential leaders who were established with the creation of the constitution have not been able to move in favor of the good governance of the country even after facing major calamities like corona epidemic, earthquake and blockade. What can people expect from such leadership? 

In the current situation, there is no evidence that there will be any conscious leadership in the country and that the country will move forward. The people shed their blood and sweat for the establishment of the Federal Republic and supported the political power. However, the political forces could not stand up for the people. No leader of any new or old party could respect the struggle of the Nepalese people for the Federal Republic. The leaders indulged in their own egos. The country fell into the strategy of undemocratic politics. 

Journalist Lincoln Stephens wrote in his book 'Revolt is not Reform', "One blow of anger is not enough to change the corrupt system." After reading Stephens's book, this columnist thought, how many more blows of anger and how many slaps should our country suffer in economic and social life? After the end of the Rana Tantra in 2007, Nepal is in constant political transition.

The country has not been able to develop due to lack of political stability. However, the economic development necessary for political stability has not materialized. The country's natural resources are under the control of political bullies. All that has been done in the name of development is unproductive. Even after so many changes in the political system of the country, if there are many waves of anger, has our condition and direction turned towards a pleasant change? Even Stephens has not been able to answer this.

In such a situation, the use and influence of social media in Nepali society has increased slightly, it is not unusual. The influence of social media is not limited to one city or one market. The use of social media has reached all the small villages and towns of the country. Mobile phones and telephones have encouraged the suppressed people to enjoy freedom to the extent of sanctity.

Media and social media are certainly not enemies of each other, but a line drawn between the two has established the distinct importance of both. With the development and expansion of the communication sector, the users of social networks have increased rapidly. Nepali society has started connecting itself with various aspects of governance through social media. The development and expansion of communication technology has brought people living far away from the country closer. A working young man in a city in the Gulf region eats 'lunch' and talks to his wife or girlfriend on a mobile phone to clear his mind. After finishing work, he arranges time and watches Jyoti Magar or any other popular artist's program on the same phone, relaxes his mind and falls asleep.

This is just a simple part of human nature seen now. It is said that social media is not professional. It is a means of giving voice to the thoughts and emotions of the voiceless people. However, in recent times, social networks have expanded in a 'commercial' way. The inventors and operators of social media have developed it as a profit-making tool. Social media has become completely professional. The commercialization of the network has brought radical changes in the direction and condition of all societies in the world.

The test of the power of social media began in Tunisia. Social media played a major role in the expansion of the Arab Spring movement from late 2010 to 2012. After Mohamed Wouziji, a street trader in the streets of Tunisia, could not bear the tyranny and corruption of the government and set himself on fire, there was a public outcry. People spontaneously protested against the government. The Arab Spring started in Tunisia and spread to Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria and Bahrain. With this people's revolution, dictators like Colonel Gaddafi, Hosni Mubarak, Abdullah Saleh came to an end.

The users of social media have given momentum to the people's movement against the thievery, political corruption, poverty, discrimination and unemployment that have advanced under the dictatorial rule of kings. He has instilled faith in democracy and good governance in the hearts of the people.  With the expansion of the dynamic nature of

communication, the market of the so-called 'mainstream' media such as newspapers, radio and television has started to shrink. Mainstream media around the world are trying to increase their influence in the market, which has started to shrink due to the use of 'multi' media. The situation in Nepal is not different from other countries. However, no matter how new the technology and the potential for new styles of use, mainstream media cannot go beyond the bounds of professional discipline. Mass media and social media are definitely not enemies of each other. However, a Laxmanrekha drawn between the two has established the distinct importance of both. If that line cannot be transgressed by the media, then social media cannot be bound by any kind of circle or bond.

The use of social media is popular in Nepal. People from the rich to the poor are connected to social media in one way or another. Social media has become indispensable for those who go abroad for work. Social media has become very helpful in staying connected with your country and family. Facebook has become the most used medium by Nepali people while recently Tiktok is making its place in the Nepali market. Until a few years ago, even Facebook was not accessible to all Nepalis. However, with the expansion of technology, it is now seen in everyone's hands. The number of Nepali people who can get professional and other benefits from the use of social media is not that much.

Lately, Nepal's political leaders and their activists have been using social media excessively. It has also been seen that the leaders and workers of some political parties are trying to establish their identity through social media. This cannot be called misuse of social media. However, such usage is definitely 'abuse' of the network. It is definitely not a good thing to defame and humiliate someone through the use of social media. It is not easy to stop it. Our rulers and administrators run old style governance and administration. The higher the leaders get, the more they get stuck at the top. Seeing the expressions of the people's elected representatives on social media, common people's hearts are shaken. What they say makes the common man nervous.

When you see or read the expressions of famous leaders on social media, you can see a kind of contempt for their own country. There is no room to hope that the so-called political class of Nepal will improve its behavior. There is no hope that any good man will come and improve the political leadership of Nepal with their speech and behavior.

Historically, Nepal has been established as one of the oldest countries in the world. However, this unique identity of the country has not been respected. Judging by the expressions that are circulating on social media these days, most of the educated and so-called special people seem to be infatuated with themselves. Most of these people consider the political party as the root cause of the underdevelopment of the country. However, nowadays no one can imagine democracy without political parties. In a democracy, if the political parties fail to respect the dignity of the people, the government cannot function. People's victory over a political party once does not mean that they surrender their sovereignty forever.
