Topic: Current Perspective on Political Crisis in Nepal

 Key Speakers: Mr. Mukesh Kumar Singh and Dr. Sagar Rijal

Date: Sunday, December 20, 2015

Time: 11 AM – 12:15 PM EST

Conference Call Dial (712) 432-0385

Conf. ID: 139 004#

On behalf of Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA) together ANMA, I take this pleasure to invite you all to join NASeA’s Monthly Talk Session conference call schedule for tomorrow i.e. Sunday, December 20th 2015 to learn more about the current Perspective on Political Crisis in Nepal.

NASeA Monthly Talk Session has always been very productive in the past and I request you all to be the part of this important talk session where the two key speakers Mr. Mukesh Kumar Singh and Dr. Sagar Rijal will address the current Perspective on Political Crisis in Nepal and the participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the current situation in Nepal.

 I would like to assure you all that  NASeA in partnership with all like minded organisations and individuals will continue to advocate her core values that is guided by her charter and open the dialogue of communication in all fronts so that the current crises in Nepal is resolved in a peaceful manner  and the sovereignty of Nepal prevails.

Highlights of the Talk Session:

Speaker 1: Mr. Mukesh Kumar Singh (Columbus, Ohio)

Mr. Singh is a community activist. He is very involved in Nepalese organizations. He has served as a president of ANMA. In the past he has served as Senior Vice president of NRN-NCC of USA and Regional Coordinator of North-America for ICC.

Discussion Theme: Mr. Singh will share his views on:
1. Current views (both sides of the coin)
2. Legal Perspective to current crisis
3. Social perspective
4. India’s official position
5. Root cause of the current political problem
6. Role of diaspora in current situation that can help ameliorate the situation if not solve it

 

Speaker 2: Dr. Sagar Rijal (Alexandria, VA)

Dr. Rijal teaches at the Department of Political Science, George Washington University as a professorial lecturer. He served as the Finance and Sustainable Development Fellow at New Rules for Global Finance, Washington D.C. Dr. He received his Ph.D. in International Studies from Old Dominion University, Virginia where he researched Nepal’s tripartite interaction with India and China on the issues of Tibetan refugees, hydro-power investment and climate cooperation.

Discussion Theme: Dr. Rijal will speak on the current situation in Nepal from an international relations perspective. The constitutional and political crisis facing Nepal has prompted strong and varied reactions to India’s role. Some have accused New Delhi’s foreign policy establishment and political leadership of showing partisan interest and illegal intervention in Nepal’s internal matters, while others claim that India has remained strictly neutral and supportive of the path of democratic process within Nepal. The analysis shows that the true motivation of Indian actions may lie somewhere in the middle and maybe quite immaterial. What emerges as critical is to acknowledge that no solution to the impasse is possible without India’s role and blessing. 

 

Q&A with moderation: 40 mins:

Moderators will solicit names of first 10 persons interested to ask question(s) and will be called in that order. In the interest of time and fairness to other, follow up question will not be permitted unless we have time in the end.

Always for the Nepali American community, 

With Respect,

Bimal Nepal
