यात्रा कुटनीति 1

       राहुल सांकृत्यायनले विश्वका बत्तीस देशको भ्रमण गर्दै, भाषा सिक्दै विहेवारी गर्दै व्यक्तिगत अनुभव बटुले । उनले आफ्नो पुस्तक ‘यात्रा के पन्ने’ मा आफ्ना ती भ्रमणको यथार्थ वर्णन गरेका छन् । चिनियाँ यात्री मञ्जुश्रीको आगमनले चोभारको डाडाँ काटेर पानी निकाले पछि उपत्यका बस्न लायक भयो भनि नेपालीहरु विश्वास गर्दछन् । मार्कोपोलोले यात्रा नगरेको भए युरोपियनहरुले सभ्य, भव्य, सुसंस्कृत एशियाको वारेमा धेरै पछि मात्र जानकारी पाउँथे होलान् । घुमक्कड भएकै कारण विश्वको सम्पन्नता, साधन श्रोत माथि अधिकार जताउन व्रिटिस साम्राज्यले एशिया र अफ्रिका, अमेरिका समेतमा आफ्नो आधिपत्य कायम गरेको थियो । घोडा चढेरै चंगेजखाँ, कुवलयखाँ, बच्चा खाँजस्ता पाँचजना महान मंगोलियन यौद्धाहरुले मध्यकाल सन् ११ देखि १३ सय ईश्वी सम्म मंगोलिको विस्तार विकाश गरेका हुन् । पृथ्विनारायण शाहले मकवानपुर जाँदा चन्द्रागिरीबाट समतल, उब्जाउ, सुन्दर उपत्यका नदेखेका भए तत्कालिन नेपाल ‘काठमाडौ उपत्यका’ माथि आँखा गाड्ने थिएनन् र नेपालको एकिकरण नहुन सक्थ्यो । हामी हाम्रो मुलुक भनेर अहिले मेची महाकालीको सिमानामा चन्द्रसूर्य अंकित झण्डा फहराउन सफल नहुन सक्थ्यौं । यात्राले भौगोलिक ज्ञान, भाषाको आदान प्रदान, एक अर्कोको वानि व्यहोरा खान पानको जानकारि गराउँछ । देशाटन पौराणिक काल देखि हाल सम्म महत्व राख्ने विषय हो ।
       विश्वमा यात्राकै माध्यमबाट हिन्दु, बौद्ध, ईसाई, इस्लाम धर्म गुरुहरुले धर्म फैलाएको देखिन्छ । राजनीतिक भाषामा भन्दा भ्रमणले सम्बन्ध स्थापना, विकाश र विस्तार गर्न मद्दत गर्छ । कतिपय उच्च स्तरका भ्रमण पनि गोप्य हुन्छन् । सत्रु राष्ट्रमा पनि गोपनीय रुपमा अनौपचारिक भ्रमण गरिन्छ । औपचारिक भन्दा अनौपचारिक भ्रमणले देशको सम्बन्ध विस्तारमा काम गरेको हुन्छ । औपचारिक भ्रमण सरकारी तहका हुन्छन् भने जनः स्तरका भ्रमणले सरकार–सरकार विच हुने सम्बन्धलाई प्रगाढ बनाउने काम गर्दंछ । कतिपय परिस्थितिमा सरकारी भ्रमणलाई पनि निजि सम्पर्कलाई सम्बन्ध र निजि भ्रमणले सम्भव बनाएको हुन्छ । गतवर्ष साउदी अखीयाका राजकुमारको नेपाल भ्रमण सरकारको निमन्त्रणा नभई एक जना नेपालीको व्यक्तिगत सम्बन्धका कारण भएको थियो । यसै सन्दर्भमा लेखकले सरकारको निमंत्रणामा वा निजि तवरमा गरेका भ्रमणको अनुभवलाई नेपाल र पूर्वी एशियाको सम्बन्धको विषय वस्तु बनाई यो पुस्तकमा पस्केको छ । यो लेखकको नितान्त व्यक्तिगत अनुभव भएपनि यसले नेपालको पूर्वी एशियाली मुलुकसँगको तितो मिठो, उराठ लाग्दो र रमाइलो लाग्दो सम्बन्धको क्षेत्रमा पाठकलाई पक्कै जानकारी दिई सम्बन्ध सुधारमा काम गर्ने छ । हुन त चीन र मंगोलिया भौगोलिक हिसाबले उत्तरतिरका मित्र राष्ट्र हुन् । राजनीतिक हिसाबले विश्वले हेर्दा चीन, मंगोलिया, जापान, कोरिया, पूर्वीय राष्ट्रमा पर्दछन् । अतः त्यसै आधारमा कोरिया, जापान, चीन र मंगोलियाको भ्रमणले सबै मुलुकमा नेपालबाट बुद्ध धर्मको आगमन भएको कारण पनि धार्मिक, आर्थिक, सामाजिक र अन्त्यमा विकासको सम्भावना बढाउन यो यात्रा कूटनीतिले सघाउने छ । सन् २००० देखि २००९ सम्मको यात्रा कूटनीतिको अनुभव ।

थोपा थोपा मिलेर समुन्द्र बन्छ भनेझैं इकाई कावागुचि, मञ्जुश्री, ह्वेन साङ, अरनिको, भृकुटीहरुले गरेको नेपाल, चीन र जापान भ्रमणले नेपाल र पूर्वी एशियाको सम्बन्धमा भूमिका खेलैझैं हाम्रा मुलुकमा गरिने निजी भ्रमणले पनि कूटनीतिक सम्बन्ध प्रगाढ बनाउन मद्दत गर्ने नै छ ।

What Acharya’s Position In UN Means For Us

By DHAN PRASAD PANDIT

What changes the individuality? Branded school or college or individual self? For recently appointed Deputy Under secretary General to UN Gyan Chandra Acharya, it is his own individual self that made his personality.


Gyan Chandra Acharya is now Deputy Secretary General in the United Nations. His family background is modest, and his academic background does not start from an English Boarding School. Gyan Chandra Acharya is a graduate of Balmiki Campus (now the major campus of the Sanskrit University), and then the Tribhuvan University.


When our educational calendar is not maintained, a number of students are dropping out and education quality comes under a question mark. Even during such a crisis, it is a pride for all of us to see our own graduate appointed to the high post. This regains our prestige and makes our future prospects better. To quote an American-Lebanon man Khalil Gibran, “a man can be free without being great, but no Man can be great without being free.”


Acharya passed his Master’s in Economics only after he joined as Section Officer in the Nepalese Foreign Service. So his educational background was purely Sanskrit, without English subject at high school. He completed his school from the Ranipokhari Sanskrit School.


As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. Acharya learnt English in the New Education system as an alternative paper in Balmiki. He was the top student from the Sanskrit background, who passed the examination of the Public Service Commission for Foreign Service by securing the top position. Acharya jumped to the post of a joint secretary in less than one year, when he was in the newly appointed Under Secretary position, through the open competition.


Acharya is not alone in Nepal's Foreign Service with Sanskrit background. Nepal's renowned diplomat late Sardar Yadunath Khanal and Jaya Raj Acharya were also the products of Balmiki Sanskrit campus or Ranipokhari School. They were the experts in chanankya niti.


Our country has been passing through a difficult period in areas from economics, to power and diplomacy. We failed to draft the law of the land within the given time. Amidst this gloomy scenario, Acharya has shown a ray of hope to Nepal that Nepalese can also secure such a high position in the UN Headquarters, New York, to lead the Least Developed Countries, the LDCS. One can believe that Acharya will play an active role to enhance the image of the country or the World's Heritage Site like Lumbini.


Acharya, secretary at Ministry of Environment and Science and Technology Krisha Gyanwali and Dr. Keshav Bhattrai (graduate from Harvard), who is now serving as a professor at the British University, all got the free education from Balmiki. Instead of boasting about private boarding schools, we should feel proud about our eastern idealism, with global knowledge.


Mahatma Ganhdi is renowned all over the world not because which school he went but because of his work. He championed non-violence against oppressive regime. His contribution to the Indian people is freedom and the rest of the world is the message of non-violence, peace and freedom. I have seen many universities in the world become popular due to some diligent graduates, though all students cannot be equally competent and diligent.


The Korean University is the pride of Ban-ki Moon where he graduated. During my visit to Korea under the International Educational Exchange Program in 2006, the officials of the Korea University and Seoul National University said they are proud as most of presidents and secretaries are and were their graduates. Ehwa women's university claimed most of the 1st ladies in Korea were their graduates.


A man can achieve success without having the top degree from any renowned university. Acharya had proved that a graduate from Sanskrit College, the Balmiki Campus, or Tribhuvan University could become an international personality with his continued devotion in his profession at a time when the so-called revolutionaries were busy to target Sanskrit Education. Actually, it shows that he is a genius. His extraordinary intellectual capacity led him to where he reached in National and International platforms.


It is not only a brand name of the education institution, but dedication and devotion of the individual that is important. Branded institutions like Oxford, and Cambridge in England, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell and Berkeley are meaningful but their brand is made by their graduates. Yale is proud of his Graduate Barack Obama as the President of United States State of America.


Similarly, Korea, Seoul and Yang University in South Korea, BHU, JNU, and Delhi University in India are considered reputed universities. However, in some cases individual student is more important than the university. This is what Acharya proves.
