If those who try to reform in a country are punished, what will be the future of that country? The recent situation in Nepal is a clear reflection of this reality.

Tribhuvan University Vice Chancellor Dr. Kesharjung Baral's resignation is not just a personal decision, it is a testament to the helplessness of the entire system, rotten politics and hatred of honest characters.

Baral tried to make the university viable. Many efforts were made to bring transparency in appointments, to control late work execution, to fix the deadline for publication of examination results, and to improve the system. But these reforms made it difficult for the idlers, brokers, sharecroppers and syndicators living there. And then started the internal conspiracy and conspiracy and the 'Baral Hatau' campaign. This is our irony. Those who try to improve the country are humiliated, discouraged. This incident reminded us again of Kulman Ghising. It seems that the government is trying to convey the message that 'if you are honest, the government system is not for you' by eliminating the competent people working in basic structures like education, energy, health and justice. This is a very serious matter.

Such events spread despair among the youth. The feeling that something can be changed in the country is disappearing. Looking at Baral, thousands of young people have started to think - 'If such a worthy and honest person can be killed, then why should we stop here?' And so begins the tearful farewell, preparation to sell sweat in a foreign land. This is what the government wants. Because, if this happens, remittances will come, the youth will not question, protest, voice for change.
