Since July 12, Israel has dropped the equivalent of a Hiroshima bomb on Lebanon. The number of dead is around 400 in Lebanon, the majority of them civilians. Forty people have been killed in Israel by Hezbollah rockets. Four United Nations peacekeepers were killed recently in what the U.N. secretary-general called "a deliberate Israeli attack."
Federalism: Competing Maps
Pitambar Sharma embraces federalism. That is the good news. The bad news is that his suggested map looks like a vast conspiracy against the Madhesi community. And there is also a Hindu prejudice to some of the names he has chosen. You can not have religious names for provinces.
I prefer the Maoist map to the Pitambar map, even though the Maoist map is my second choice map.

Maoist Hand In City Robbery Incident On July 18, a gang of seven looted cash around Rs 6 lakhs from Sindhu Housing Company owned by Bhupendra Raj Giri and Prajawal Kumar Bajracharya at Koteshwor. Police began probing after arresting Kishor Paudel, against whom the company owners had filed a complaint. During interrogation, Paudel revealed that he had asked Maoists to help him recover money that he had loaned the Housing Company. Police subsequently detained Lahanu Chaudhary, central member of pro-Maoist Valley Tharuwang Muktimorcha and his wife Bimala BK, also a Maoist cadre, said SP of the Valley Crime Branch Keshav Adhikari. Chaudhary and Bimala admitted to their crime and said that they did it because the housing company owners were "feudal". Police released both of them at the request of the company owners themselves. Now they are trying to arrest them again as the company owners returned to the police office and demanded action against Chaudhary and his wife. It has been revealed that Chaudhary and Bimala had rented a room in a house owned by Priya Gurung at Dahachowk. The two were posing as professors at TU and PK college respectively. Both have absconded.
