An essay on forced labor migration to Gulf countries (Khadi Muluk) due to lack of opportunity in Nepal: The case of citizens of Nepal

When I see our people from all across Nepal being forced to labor in arid circumstances in the Gulf. I am aware of their dilemma and helplessness. Seeing their children express their want for their parents, particularly their father, to avoid returning to work when they return home for vacation. It demonstrates how deprived children in rural places are forced to grow up without vital parental direction.

And neither the child nor the parent desires this. However, as a result of ineffective and neglectful government policies that do not prioritize job creation and employment possibilities. Many are compelled to take out loans and risk their lives to travel to countries where laborers are employed in harsh conditions with low pay and a high risk to their health and safety.

Additionally, as a governance administration scholar. Not only is it my obligation, but also my humanitarian passion, to speak up and attempt to better the general public’s plight in Nepal via knowledge and awareness.

Each of us has an unspoken obligation to improve human welfare and to contribute to the advancement of opportunities in our own country by not only advocating for better plans and policies but also by rendering strong effort in their implementation.

And to some who may advise, why am I even concerned about strangers and coming out from a minuscule point of origin, since I am neither the government nor the humanitarian cause movement at the present.

However, I am a conscious human being who is continually worried and seeking answers to the issues I observe and experience firsthand or secondhand.

I may not be in a position or possess the necessary resources to effect the change I want.

And I do not even have to try to battle and resolve the issues of the villagers, the poor and the unlucky, and anyone else who suffers in life.

What if my commitment to human welfare development is a sham, much like all the words but no action that our government officials demonstrate on a daily basis?

For such doubts, allow me to remind myself that I must fight this injustice, and the general public’s negligence could one day easily affect me immediately or in the near future.

This realization helped me understand that the Nepalese youth and labor force, those people I’m referring to, might easily have been me or that destiny could easily have been mine, resulting in a very unhappy existence loaded with a great mental weight.

Additionally, if the faith in which we trust and cherish is genuine, we must embrace the reality of reincarnation. And what if in our next life we are born into such existence and our family is impoverished and depressed?

Thus, in order to provide a stable and secure life for others as well as myself, it is critical that we establish a well-functioning governance system that not only protects our economic and social rights but also prevents us from being forced to leave our families and work in dangerous conditions outside the country.

My fervent objective is to raise my voice in support of fundamental survival rights.

Just like, I was fortunate and blessed to have a good life, to have the opportunity to study in order to increase my chances of finding better jobs and to gain a better understanding of economic and financial markets to better prepare myself and take appropriate action to profit from the economic market and other platforms.

Similarly to how I was able to go to various countries, experience the globe, and have a greater grasp of globalization.

As with these and several other chances, I think that all of our nation’s children should have the equal opportunity to not only obtain an excellent education but also to choose. I hope for them a life in which they may choose what and who they want to become. A life that allows them to fulfill their dreams, desires, and destiny.

Similarly, I wish to see youth, parents, and the entire working population of Nepal has more opportunities to work where they want, in fields that interest them, and where they can actually grow with time and experience, rather than being forced to choose life and work in countries where they never desired to be.

Likewise, I hope to see kids better equipped with a better knowledge to confront the perils of life and the outside world, with stronger financial standings as a result of our new and enhanced currency strength as a result of sound monetary policy.

For these reasons, our nation, Nepal, must embrace modern-era fiscal and monetary policies that stimulate the Nepalese economy via government-supported subsidies and modern and technological infrastructure that produces more work possibilities at a wage that allows an individual to feed and care for his or her family.

Other policies should emphasize transparency in order to eradicate corruption. Instead, there should be public-friendly policies that reduce tax and VAT (Value Added Tax), customs duties, and various import and export-related taxes, so that, people do not feel compelled to attempt to obfuscate government procedures or bribe system officials, but instead pay proper tax and fees out of convenience, understanding, and ease in business – allowing them to conduct ethical work and business or any other endeavor.

Next, good governance should include enhanced monetary policies that work toward appreciating the value of our currency, thereby increasing the purchasing power of the Nepalese public for travel and commerce and e-commerce.

These are the primary policies that must be executed initially, followed by the development of every sector of the nation. Which enables our whole Nepalese population to thrive and coexist peacefully, ensuring that no one is denied chances and that we are all stress-free and happy.

A happy public will significantly improve our culture and the way we treat one another. We shall be less competitive with one another and more united as a nation, exactly like the dream of our Late and True King of Nepal, King Prithvi Narayan Shah.
