Ideological strains in multipolar space

Significant setbacks are put forth for developmental amalgamation in the state these days. Numerous curve paths are carved for developmental agendas in the name of a political coalition. Behind the national cockpit of all political forces appears to be an inner party polarization, that seems more dramatic. Doctrines of all political forces seem stagnant as a desert. Merit over the catchment of philosophy remains sound unless guided by individual interest. Here the core doctrine remains disdained. Is this prolific in this global and polarized world?

MD Dharamdasani, a professor at the University of Rajasthan in his volume ‘Indian Diplomacy in Nepal’, proclaims that geopolitical tension always encapsulates the nation whether it is small or big, but in the polarized world, it is essential for every country to go with a liberal political system. His thought resembles a sort of insight that vibrates the essence of pessimism. Pessimism is that every nation is indifferent on its own, either in the form of freedom, liberty and sovereignty. A manual approach of ‘go and seek’ later led to the formation of a new ideology depicted as partisanship. Nowadays this seems more rampant. 

Clash of ideologies

Samuel P Huntington, an American political scientist, professes via his published volume ‘The Clash of Civilizations’ that people’s cultural and religious identities may be the preliminary cradle of conflict. Conflict in a tendency that no idea and prerequisites coincides with the minimum requirements of political ideology. Tendency to win is only a way for cadres. Is this fine with the political force? Can this policy of win-win be only a way out for any political party? Till now the political cadres are entirely under the thumbs of so-called leaders. Fine tuning of ideology is needed in Nepal, but the prosperity and virtue-based line seems to be more prominent. This prominence needs to be disdained by supremos. 

Every political force carries some peculiar ideologies. They are not identical and also need not be identical. Solid ideological roadmap streamed up as per the respective manifesto is a must for the political forces but that seems status quo Nepali panorama.  The emotional tendency swings the matter and manner, with no concrete view. Rather moots are hiked. Considering our domestic arena is narrow and ragtag, a smooth and normal line of panglossian  needs to be drawn up. It’s just like Laxman drawing a Laxmanrekha in the Ramayan to prohibit Rawan from abducting Sita. These types of lines need to be drawn on our devastating leaders also. 

Cultural baselines

Ideological baselines are termed a mandatory sensation for every political force, which plays a crucial role in the rationality-based political manner. Leaders were presumed to be moral and decent. The circumstances seem U-turned till date. Is this due to the irrationality of civilians or due to the cultural deviations of so-called leaders? In general, this needs to be reformed. The South Asian reformation wind is not so far and has already touched the South Asian countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and more. In other words, the geopolitical sensation of Nepal is also lavish and intensifying. The irrationality of political swing is not an old story. So, in order to crystallize the density of political disorder, incubation of cultural and ideological tendencies must occur. 

The tendency to grow, stabilize and replicate are the core values of the Nepali community, where the Nepali parties play and put forth their steps. Stepping up on the cultural background of the Nepali panorama, every active and passive political force chalked out their agendas to groom. Under the unacceptance of the Nepali community, every deal stayed fiasco. In time to go, the major forces of the country must kick-off for a synergistic boom for resilience. Many of the actors in the realm remain fragile for any de-facto progress. The youth-led morcha (frontier) are cooling their heels for the next awaited moment. 

Condensed ideological claim 

Retrospecting over the global political arena, no political force tends to sustain without an ideological foundation based on hearing and doing. But in Nepal, haranguing is more rampant than performing. The political ring is encircled by pedants and are so critical that no citizen can be in touch with leaders. So, the leaders are in a vicious gap with the general citizens. In other words, it can be addressed as a potential ideological gap. The well-defined ideology can act as a crystal clear roadmap on developmental amalgamation. Mediocre political forces of our state only yawn, and in the hay days they remain passive onlookers.  Is this the morale of ideological know-how?

Yet ideology remains status quo as natural laws depicted by scientific theories. But our social and normative theme is dynamic and adaptable as per contingency. This concludes and relays a sensation of indecorous disdain of existing doctrine, which opts not to change as need and desire. So is the political ideology of every country and political force. A country carries a holistic approach but the political unit carries a tiny perspective, which is perceivable. ideological claim is the motto of every party but they fail to think off to have a clear execution, it resembles that it is ideal of themselves. But in the long-run it remains ignorant even by the polemist. If we aim to bring about holistic reformation, we mandatorily need to dig an empirical foundation for a policy advocacy forum guided by internal think tanks of institutions of respected political parties. Finally, it must be adjusted by higher hierarchy on an annual and as-per-the-need basis.
