Clientelism and its Influence in the Nepali Press
In: Bodhi: an interdisciplinary journal, S. 70-113
ISSN: 2091-0479
This review explores the clientelist structure in politics and its influence in Nepali media with two aims: first, to identify how the clientelist structure has been practiced and influenced media in Nepal; second, to identify how the media perform the functions of clientelist networks. This review uses desk research of post 1990 documents focusing on the practices of clientelist structure in personalized behavior of the leaders, volatile political culture, fragmented civic society, and mounting corruption index in Nepal. Clientelism was a widely practiced phenomenon and it weakened the ideological base of the political parties and became the causes of uncertainty in Nepali politics. The unstable politics decreased public trust and reputation of the politicians, and visibility became a major concern to the leaders while reaching out to the electorate. In this context, the media became a vital tool to communicate with the public for political goals. The power holders practice clientelism, appointing loyalties in the board of directors in the state-owned media, attempt to endorse press restricted bills, and distribute welfare advertisements and subsidies to the favorable media. The media owners practice clientelism, recruiting professionals with strong political ties, frequently changing editors and journalists to ensure balanced representation of different political connections. The journalists tend to establish political connections and cover news with limited ethical guidelines with reference to their allies and advocate the political strategies of their patronage. Besides political intervention, the shrinking economy in the limited media market, long history of political parallelism of the press and the strong presence of the role of the state might be the explanation for adopting clientelist networks in the media.

It is associated for welfare of state on the ground of civic knowledge, civic education and civic virtue. Civil society works and plays its role in the democratic regime. Democratic regime operates on the basis of democratic norms and values. Civil society plays roles in the democratic society relating to maintaining, promoting and strengthening good governance. It plays various roles like participating, mediating interest, mobilizing counter knowledge, influencing policy making, building commitment for public good, giving impetus to community building projects, motivating citizens, government towards co-operation, etc. It can play the communicative role, protective role, control role, socialization role, service delivery role and the global citizenship role in different cases. Major areas of good governance are democracy, rule of law, proprietary rights, corporate governance, human rights, welfare state and labor institution. And in these areas civil society can perform their respective roles. In the case of Nepal some roles have been managed under constitution and statutory law mainly in good governance operation and management act. But these provisions seem inadequate for showing their role visibly. Maintaining good governance through properly implementing fundamental rights, government has not made effective laws yet.

Nepal and India Relation After 12 Points Understanding
With multidimensional aspects, Nepal India relation is historical, social, political and culturally embodied. Both countries adhere to a unique relationship of friendship and cooperation characterized by open borders and deep-rooted people-to-people contacts of kinship and culture. Pedestal on secondary data this article aims to discuss the major developments in Indo-Nepal relation after 12 points understanding. Nepalese and Indian governments, in order to review the past treaties and agreements between the two countries, made EPG of four members each from both countries. Similarly, Nepal and India exchanged high level visits between them. Nepal made a new constitution in 2015 and promulgated it. However, India was not satisfied with some of the content of it, so India imposed unilateral blockade. Later, Nepal India relation was normalized, and again, Nepal and India have a dispute on Limpiyadhura-Lipulekh border. The vital concern is what has happened to the relations built on historical ties? This paper looks at the relations India once had with Nepal, and where it stands today. There have been many ups and downs in Nepal India relation after 12 points understanding and even during the present border dispute. However, all problems and disputes can be solved through diplomatic dialogues at various levels. Bilateral relations can grow further with unfaltering commitment to the doctrines of peaceable coexistence, sovereign equality, and understanding of each other's aspirations and sensitivities.

COURSE OF COMMUNISM: COMPETENCY OR MERE COSMETIC SHOW? A STUDY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NEPAL'S POLITICAL DECAY AND DEADLOCK
Communism (Marxism) is a prominently powerful proposition. People may deposit delight or deepening disgust then denigrate it but it is inexorable and ineluctable to understand the gist of Marxism before aligning at either of the sides. Despite having cross-cutting arguments and series of theses and anti-theses in academic fraternity from centre to circumference, the paper synthesizes the gravity and assesses the validity of such a tantalisingly wheedling discourse. Marxism has cajoled and coaxed many across the globe. Nonetheless, it has neither been remained immune from full fiasco and grossly unsuccessful scenario in most country nor seemingly it is going to be an else example in Nepal. Eventually, it has even been an epitome of political decay and betrayal too. Marxism has now lost both the political compass and public credibility induced competence as well. Probably, the most corrupt and condemnable choreographing is being experienced in Nepal at present. Ergo, in essence, this paper presents an argument that Marxism has been a useless cosmetic which initially embodied a transitory glow but ultimately has turned an utterly unhelpful and non-pragmatic utopian envisioning in the globe; and the incontrovertibly heightened form of it is currently on stage in Nepal.

Civil society is a non-political sphere and a voluntary organization made from individuals. It lies as an intermediary layer between individuals and families on the one hand and state institutions on the other hand. Civil society has been becoming a hot matter in the system. Its place is not same everywhere. Some developed countries have been provide democratic atmosphere to develop it and have been ignoring it. Constitution as fundamental law of the land is a major tool providing space for civil society. In the context of Nepal civil society organizations, persons, movements or other forms of civil societies have been politicizing and they are ignoring their own values and status, which may be harmful to the effective functioning of democracy. In another context of Nepal books and articles have been written, researches are also conducted but the relation and place of civil society to constitutional provisions has not been mentioned yet. So this study has been made to link civil society to constitution of Nepal.

Simplifying and Improving Effectiveness of Image Description for Accessibility using Sample Cues
In: https://hdl.handle.net/10642/7621
Master i universell utforming av IKT ; Universal design (UD) of information communication technology (ICT) is a basic principle that confirms the accessibility of ICT products and services to avoid discrimination and to support the equal ability participation in the society to enhance democracy. An image is a non-textual Web content which demands an equivalent image description to be accessible and usable for the users who have different abilities. Previous research suggests that the significant number of images exist on the Web which do not contain accessible and usable text descriptions. Literature also suggests that describing an image is a complex task for the Web workers and normal users. To the knowledge of this study, there is almost no research available in image accessibility which incorporates different types of images. This research's aim is to fulfill the existing gap of not having the proper solution to help Web users in writing usable image descriptions. This study investigated the effectiveness of providing sample cues in making image description comply with the set of guidelines suggested by National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) through an online experiment. Three different types of images: graph, map, and general image are provided in three different steps with no cue, random cue, and similar cue respectively. Text descriptions, Likert-type ratings on the compliment to NCAM guidelines, and time data are collected from two separate groups—participants and the judgement group. The experimental result is analyzed using several statistical tests. The results from this research suggest that providing the similar sample cue is effective writing an accessible image description in case of all the three types of images. Similar sample cues make it easier to write a description which follows the NCAM guidelines. The random sample cues are better than not having any cue. However, there is no significant difference in time it takes to write image descriptions in the three cases. ; publishedVersion

An Appalling Scenario Growing Corruption and Its Obnoxious Impacts on Public Lives -With Special Reference of South-Asian Stigma
Despite reiterated commitment from government and other stakeholders everywhere in the world, curbing corruption has been a seriously ticklish and almost next to an impossible effort, especially in south Asia. The failure to remarkably detain corruption not only left the countries financially crumbled but also transfigured them into zone of psychological and mental degradation followed with cultural erosion as well. This paper has revealed a surreal and sordid scene of growing corruption in south Asia and severe stigmatization of public life fashioned on ground of corruption. For the purpose, the author consulted plenty of relevant literature related to corruption theories, corruption realties and its suffocation to demonstrate the plague that the corruption has crowned to people. This research adopted a descriptive strategy with paradigm of interpretive analysis for building the proposition.
