Lost in Transition: Rebuilding Nepal from the Maoist mayhem and mega earthquake By Kul Chandra Gautam Paperback Lost in Transition: Rebuilding Nepal from the Maoist mayhem and mega earthquake Nepal is a land of spectacular natural beauty and abundant natural resources, in a strategic geographic location between China and India, with their large and vibrant economies. With such favourable assets and the tremendous goodwill of the international community, Nepal ought to have a galloping economy and a prosperous society. Yet, it remains mired in poverty and is considered one of the world’s least developed countries. What holds Nepal’s economy back? And what would it take to unleash its development potential? This book tries to address these issues from the perspective of a Nepali development professional with extensive experience in international development. From his perch at the United Nations, Kul Chandra Gautam followed the political and socioeconomic developments in his home country with a mixture of great hope and deep anxiety. He rejoiced at Nepal’s good progress in achieving many of the Millennium Development Goals, such as drastically reducing maternal and child mortality, eradicating and controlling certain deadly diseases, promoting basic education and women’s empowerment. But he was chagrined by the fratricidal Maoist insurgency that derailed Nepal’s nascent democracy and bourgeoning economy. Gautam offers a candid critique of what ails Nepal’s politics and economy, and how to rebuild the country from the ruins of the prolonged Maoist mayhem and the mega earthquake of 2015. He calls for an end to Nepal’s seemingly endless political transition and shifting the nation’s focus to economic development and social progress.

Lost in transition books for kids

The bulk of the book focuses on the Maoist mayhem The writer does not hide his dislike for the Maoist ideology and the impact the decade long People s War has had on our nation The rebuilding plan after the earthquake is presented at the latter half of the book which ends on a hopeful note My major issue with the book was the repetitiveness Could have done with better editing You can almost skip the first half of the book up to Chapter 6 without losing anything of importance as the topics regularly appear are repeated later on All in all can serve as a primer for anyone interested in learning about contemporary Nepalese politics 442
