Almost all of us think that security, justice and peace are something which are to be taken care of by somebody else--not ourselves--by state, by some agencies or some organizations. We forget that these are integral part of our life and society--in whatever profession we are in. We have to face violence, intimidation, injustice, inequality, hatred, and so on almost daily in our life. In post-conflict societies, as ours, it becomes our duty to establish peace through security and justice. The educational institutions play important roles to respond to the need of the society. They need to reform their educational structures. The educators need to have more knowledge and skills and they need to take actions to work toward 'positive and real' peace. We need to broaden and deepen our thinking about peace and reconciliation for enduring peace in Nepal. We must do something from our side; not just wait somebody to do it for us.
