Published On: April 7, 2022 06:30 AM NPT By: Qian Feng

Global Inequality Fueling Global Chaos
Published On: March 26, 2022 02:30 PM NPT By: Sumit Pathak
The most comprehensive research done on the topic of inequality shows that in the year 1820, the average income of the global top 10 percent was 18 times higher than the bottom 50 percent while that number skyrocketed 38 times in the year 2020. The primary driver of this income disparity is financial deregulation, lack of unions, poor safety nets and the growth in executive pay and bonuses that far outstrips the salary growth of average blue and white collar workers.

Ukraine War: Lessons for Nepal
Published On: March 17, 2022 01:17 PM NPT By: Dron Lamichhane
Nepal shares its borders with two Asian giants - China and India - like Ukraine shares with NATO countries and Russia. Nepal has seen similar events near its borders. The first one was the political control of Tibet by China. The second example is the merger of Sikkim into India in 1975. Nepal should thus maintain balanced relations with both India and China and should be careful while developing relations with countries that are hostile to these two countries.
