Happy Bikram Samwat, Nepal!
President of the U.S. Barack Obama and Secretary of States Hillary Rodham Clinton have extended the New Year wishes to Nepal and the Nepali people living across the globle.
Issuing a statement on behalf of President Obama on Monday, Clinton said the New Year is an opportunity for friends and family to celebrate national unity and goodwill in Nepal, and for all Nepalis everywhere to gather and exchange good wishes.
Nepal is marking New Year 2068 of its official Bikram Samwat calendar on Thursday.
“As Nepal’s steadfast friend, the United States hopes that the coming year will see fulfillment of the peace process and a new constitution that will keep Nepal on the path toward progress and prosperity,” she said, adding that the U.S. is looking forward to continuing its work together in the years ahead.
“May the people of Nepal and all Nepalis around the world enjoy a safe and happy holiday. Naya Barshako Shubha-Kamana!”

Nepal is a small land-locked country where a creative and unconventional communist revolution is fighting to be born. People are rising up against kings, castes and imperialism. Women are rising to lead. In the first half of 2010, two revolutionary journalists, Eric Ribellarsi and Jed Brandt of the Kasama Project traveled to Nepal to report on these events. Their presentation will tell the story of this revolution, the current situation in Nepal, and feature video and photography from their journey.
