Dear sons and daughters of Nepal,

We do not really know what the situation is like in our country. We have heard more rumours and less facts; and we have made our own judgement based on those rumours. Our opinions have been divided into almost two halves. One half supporting the King's move and the other half opposing the action. Almost all of us who are fortunate enough to live in the west at this torrid time are capable to think sensibly on this issue.So lets contemplate with the love for the country and citizens in mind now.

Some of us may have been victims of atrocities committed by the Maoists. Some may have suffered because of the corrupted political leaders. And some of us may have been the victim of injustice in the Panchayat era and at present. So we are expressing our vengeance against those who have made us to suffer. And therefore we are divided. The citizens who are educated, who have seen how democray functions, who know the fruits of social justice in a developed society; we are divided. And this is not a good sign for the future. Tommorow, we have to take the burden of Nepal in our shoulders. We have to hand the nation to our next generation. We have to make sure that we can hand over a peaceful and prosperous nation to our children and die. Otherwise we are not different to the previous generation which never got the oppurtunity like us to see the democracy and prosperity of the western world. Our children will blame us if we fail to do better things for our country.So let's try to be impartial, let's forget our personal interest, let's put away our vengeance against both sides of the debate.With a cool mind let's discuss what can we do at best to resolve the current crisis from our part. I will try to give my assement in the next thread on what can we expect in the near future and what is best for the country in the coming days. Please put your thoughts, unbiased and pragmatic, without spilling your anguish and hatred to all the sides- political parties, monarchy and maoists.I hope all of you will take part in this debate very seriously.
Newuser.

Anjanp

I think we don't have to follow what the Indians say about our affairs. As usual Indian politicians, intellects and the media have expressed their opinions in a varied and different way. But we must keep in mind that the crux of Indian foreign relation is lies on some kind of consensus. There is not much difference in the approach which -ever party or coalition comes in power. There are the bureaucrats in South Block who look after the Indian relationship with Nepal and those officials do not change for many years. Hence there is a kind of uniformity and you cannot expect a congress led government in India changing its overall policy on Nepal to make it different from that of the BJP. International diplomacy does not change a lot(Nepal is an exception). Who had expected that a BJP led government in India would extend it's hand for improving relationship with a military led government in Pakistan? The politics and democracy in India has matured a lot. Indians are just trying to sympathize the democrats in Nepal but the bitter truth is they have given a good support to the King from the oblivion. We better should not get concerned with what Indians comment and we should not look for India's role to put our multi-party democracy back in track. We should rather put pressure on the King ourselves. If India is allowed to play a decisive role, it will certainly exploit the situation in it's favour. And one of the reasons that multi-party system failed in Nepal was because our politicians unduly depended on the Indian leaders and bureaucrats.

As far as Salambambi's response is concerned, I am bemused by his comparision between me and John Kerry. First if you think king Gyanendra is George Bush and I am John Kerry that's a big complement for me. Thank you very much for that. Are you ready to back me if I suggest you a better alternative to King G's move? If so, I will have to think about changing my career. ehh hhe he

However as a non-political person with some understanding of politics, I obviously think that King G had a much better alternative with him then stepping up for autocracy. He could have formed a much reliable government by calling some unblemished politicians from Congress, UML, RPP, and other smaller parties instead of gathering infamous panchas of the past and a very corrupted and double std politician in Radha Krishna Mainali in his cabinet. In the last 13 years of multiparty democracy, only 5/600 or so politicians have been MPs or ministers. The parties still have many good visionary leaders who were dominated by corrupt hierarchy in the past and could have been given a chance by the King. No one would oppose his drive against the corrupt lot if he had done this. But the King doesn't want to improve the country's future, he wants to do what ever he likes; as a result a bunch of pro-monarchists are appointed in the new cabinet.

if you want to know what would I do if I was Gyanendra, I already told that I would call the Maoists for a ceasefire agreement immidiately. I would agree on their demand to hold a constituent assembly election within 5 years after bringing stability in the coutry. I would call them to immidiately participate in an all-party government to work together for bringing peace and stability. I would agree to give authority of the mobilization of the Nepalese army to the new government and to the parliament once the new elections are hold. I would let one third of the militarily trained rebels to join the national army and collect their ammunitions for the country's army while detonating explosives and land mines. I would mobilize the rest(2/3rd)of the rebels in various development projects and pay them adequately for their work. I would focus three quarters of the development efforts for Karnali, Seti and Mahakali zones for the coming 5 years. I would nationalise the palace's wealth and decrease the Royal budget. And I would let people decide by referendum on how much role I could play as a constitutional monarch. I would give up my political ambition. Desh ma stability aaepacchi ma chup lagera basthe, mero daju jastai. You know what I mean.

Another thing, KIng G has already done the best possible thing(according to you-Salambambi). And you ask me what can you do or what plans do you have to give Nepal a different option. You don't want,if,would, could, should. SO here's my reply.

I cannot tolerate King G's autocracy. But I don't have power in my hands to displace him. So I have to build up support. There we are, you , me and so many educated and sensible youths in Nepal and all over the country. We are youths and we have the decisive power. If we are united we can change any government. But we should be sensible, not act like a mob and finalise what to do once the Monarchy collapse before starting our movement. Only 20 thousand matured students and youth can oust the autocratic government in Nepal. 20 thousand youths without the fear of death, not letting any political parties to infiltrate inside our band can force Gyanendra to give up. Let a sea of 20 thousand youths with the national flag in their hand march peacefully and head towards the Narayanhiti Palace all at a time, the King's army may shoot 200 but they cannot kill one more. Because they are themselves the sons of Nepalese, they are our brothers. I bet if King Gyanendra continues to ban individual rights and freedom, violence get worsened, people massacred from the army and the maoists, the country in deep anarchy because of the King;not only 20 thousand , two hundred thousand students will voluntarily unite together and march towards the palace. I will readily march in the front row. I will readily give my blood and I believe you can give your blood if our country needs it. We, the politically conscious youths are the final shield to defend our country from foreign intervention.

Now First, we have to call Gyanendra not to force tyranny in the country. If we do it now, we don't need to give our blood. If we let him do what he desires now, a day will come when we must give our blood to displace him from power. So I am calling for the lifting up of the bans on human rights and civil liberties. I think it's sensible for you guys to think as I do. If we pressurize, King G must soften the restrictions. If we don't, one day we will have to give our blood against the King. Or become a dumb spectator and let the Indian or American soldiers come to Nepal in the name of controlling the Maoists.

So which option do you like? 1. Suggest Gyanendra for calling Maoist for ceasefire, agreeing to their demand for constiuent assembly and making an all party government; thus paving way towards a constituent assembly election and a true constitutional monarchy. 2. Lifting the current bans on civil liberties and letting peple to exercise their freedom but pursuing force as a way to control the maoists. 3. Toughening the bans on civil rights and trying to crush maoists with no public and foreign support and making Nepal a failed state. 4. launching a big revolution to overthrow monarchy from the country or looking as a dumb specatator to see the country in the political hands of global and regional superpowers.

The third or the fourth options are the most dangerous. It is a suicidal option for monarchy and I think if we don't have particular interests(swartha), all Nepalese must call Gyanendra to follow the first option. There's no better option at the moment.

We youths are the most powerful force of nepal and now we have to pressurize Gyanendra to choose the first option.

I wonder if you guys read all what I wrote. Terribly long but I hope you were not bored.
Comments and suggestions appreciated.

This is in response to newuser's comments above that "there has been a reduction of promonarchists in sajha now a days....seems like they were royalites sent to extend the king's beliefs". I did not type that the same exact wasy newuser wrote it. I typed what he implied by his earlier statements.

Here's my comment on his/her that statement: Very cheap.

One of those people that he/she referred to as pro-monarchits was "me". And let me clear this up for everyone: I am not a royalite.

I supported a few things about king's move doesn't make me a royalite. Stop using the language of George Bush's administration. They label "anti-american" to anyone who opposes their view. And so do you- in a way. Anyone who opposes your views is now a "Royalite who's spreading king's propoganda" ??????

Is that the most your brain can come up with in your own defense??

Cheap thinking. mate! Cheap thinking.

Poor mickthesick. If you were not a pro-monarchist, you need not have wasted your time to say '''One of those people that he/she referred to as pro-monarchits was "me". And let me clear this up for everyone: I am not a royalite. '''

Yo ta chorle ma chor haina bhane jastai bhayo. Let me tell you I never referred to you. I don't even know if you had commented in this thread before. I referred to some academics who I know personally.

Anyway ''Cheap thinking. mate! Cheap thinking.'' Again, if you had some valuable thinking you could have defended the King with some logical explanations. Those who can't counter words with words, label other's thoughts as cheap.

I challenge you, lets meet at a park and discuss in a democratic way(not like a mandale manner) and find out who thinks cheaply. Reply in a civilized way or don't waste your time again.

NewUser:

May be you did not hear enough from chor netas that no matter how many times you call Mao for a talk, they will never come. Even if they did, it gives them mere an opportunity for their forces to move around. Do you really think they were interested in solving a problem in the last 2 round of talks. It will never happens.

Whatever you said and suggest is nothing more than a copy and paste stuff from pages of speech from netas.

What I am interested is in action and someone who can correct the system who corrupted it. If 24 million has to suffer just in the name of democracy, then I dont need that. I along with 24 million were better off with the old way. We may not be rich, but we had something to eat in our table daily. We may not have driven cars, but we could walk safely on the street.

Therefore, King G deserve chance to rule. If we can live for 15 yrs of total corruption and chaos, I dont mind waiting 3 months or 1 or 3 yrs. May be action is what we needed instead of good bhasan like netas and yours.

After all, that same nice words of politicians are the one trapped us with such a tragic result.

bambi:

king's words are also nice. they won't bring any results, at least with the current strategy. what was the stumbling block in all the failed talks? monarchy! all the talks failed on that one single point - well constituent assembly was also not agreed upon because of the risk to monarchy. and now, after all that loyalty to monarchy, what has the monarch done?

and how can you speak for 24 million people? we had food on our tables. are you speaking for all 24 million people? we could walk safely in the streets. are you speaking for all 24 million people?

15 years of total corruption and chaos? TOTAL? and well it might have seemed like chaos to you because you don't want to hear the voices of the oppressed. people who've never had the good fortune to be able to make their voices heard. and when they speak, it is choas? 15 years of chaos, wow. and you speak for all 24 million people.

tell me, if you have so much hope on G, how will he make our situation better? how?

As someone said in Himal, we are destined to be doomed.

What Nepalese want is "Peace", but what King G is talking about is putting "democracy" on hold and getting back at the "political partys", he has nothing to offer to the "Maoist" so who are the ones who are "killing" the "peace", the "maoist". There is no agenda of the king for the maoist as if they don't exist. Our main problem is handling the maoist, the "corrupt" leaders could always be filtered out by the system,CIAA, by pressure from international community, by pressure from civil society etc. etc.

The king has already taken the wrong step, how can this lead us to the future its yet to be seen. The king might have won a battle but he will NOT win the war. Such a short-sighted, actually past-sighted (bringing Tulsi Giri and Bista, he couldn't even find anyone young and dynamic to support his royal ass) king, how can we look into the future. It just seems history will repeat itself. Maybe we will go back to Rana sashan days where we seemed so happy since everything was taken care by the Ranas.

Mr. Salambambi,

I got your point. You need action and only your courageous king Gyanendra can take actions. And you want me to accept what Gyanendra has done as the best thing for Nepal. Sorry mate, I do not agree at all.I cannot put a cent of my stake on Gyanendra. He is worse then the politicians to say the least. If I rate politicians as -2, Gyanendra is
-3.

You claim to be representing 24 million Nepalese.Ha ha ha ha. I hope you have not counted me because although I am one of the general public, I do not fall to your category. I am not some one who chants Jay Jay Maharaj.

I dislike mandales because they pray the king. Hamro Raja pran bhanda pyaro chha. Atleast Neta ka puchhar harule hamro neta pran bhanda pyaro chha ta bhandainan ni. Neta le Ma Bishnu ko awatar hu bhaneko ta sunidai ni. Ani Neta le Bideshi sanga matra haat milauchhu swadeshi sanga haat milaunu hudaina bhaneko ta sunienani.

''If we can live for 15 yrs of total corruption and chaos, I dont mind waiting 3 months or 1 or 3 yrs. May be action is what we needed instead of good bhasan like netas and yours.''

It doesn't sound logical to accept to live in corruption and chaos for 3 more years because we lived in that situation for 15 years. I do not like complecancy by comparing life for the negatives. I prefer to change things for positive instead of agreeing to pursue negatives for more and more time. You do not mind but I mind, and thats the difference between you and me. I dont think it's sensible to think if politicians exploited the condition of the country, King also has to exploit.

And, tapaile Netako Bhasan bhane pani j bhane pani, the best solution of the Maoists insurgency is dialogue and negotiations. If the palace can agree for constiuent assembly election, then they will certainly come to dialogue. Because they know, the senseless war between the rebels and the government forces is taking none of the sides towards victory. This is worsening the situation only. Aba rahyo constituent assembly ko kura . I don't think you have tried to understand what is constituent assembly. So first read this:

Constituent Assembly

A Constituent Assembly is a body elected with the express and limited purpose of drafting, and in some cases, adopting a constitution.

It may refer to either of the following:

The National Constituent Assembly formed in 1789 during the French Revolution
The Russian Constituent Assembly formed in February 1917 during the Russian February Revolution
The Constituent Assembly of Italy, formed on 13 July 1946 following the referendum on republic or monarchy, dissolved four months after the adoption of the Constitution, on 12 May 1948.

How did the above constituent assembly worked? What was the process? I will give a brief account in my postings in coming days. But do not think it's a communist idea to have a constituent assembly election. The process is very democratic provided the voting process is free and fair and remember it is just for drafting a new constitution not for estabilishing a republic state by overthrowing monarchy or absolute ruler. The whole idea is to formulate a constitution by the memeber of the constituent assembly who are elected by the people which implies that people are directly involved in making their country's constitution. The people elect a set of persons who are responsible for drafting a new constitution and once that has been drafted, their role is finished.

However, constiuent assembly is not something that should worry a popular king supported by '24 million Nepalese'. The King, political parties and maoists all can sit in a round table and decide about how many constiutent assembly seats should be provisioned, who will be elligible to file candidature and how the whole process will be completed. It's all about negotitions. Each candidate can present his vision on the drafting of constitution and whichever candidate's idea the majority of voters are convinced at will win assembly seat and thus play his part on the making of constitution. There is no Mahabharat at all. And in this case also, the King may set a condition of constitutional monarchy as a minimum point of compromise. And you may agree to have these elections only after peace and stability is restored in the country- in few years time. Maobadi have not demanded that these elections must be held within this month or in this particular year. They are only asking other parties(pakchhya) to accept to hold these elections.

What the maoists want from a new constitution is just a limitation in the monarch's power. The 2047 contitution gave him unprecedented power and so they want to restrict his power in a new constitution. Thats it. And they are not saying that the King should agree their own constitution. They are saying-let the people decide. So whats wrong with their demand?? If the people want the King to be limited from unprecedented power, whats wrong for him to be limited? There's queen elizabeth readily accepting to perform ceremonial job in Britain, why can't king G accept this? And there's every probability that the people might vote for more constituitonal power to the King. For as Salambambi said 24 million people support the King's move. So why scared of constituent assembly?

I firmly believe that not any one side of the Nepali political spectrum can fix the current problems single handedly. No one side can defeat the rest of the sides. So a compromise must be made. And that can be a constituent assembly election. Does Gyanendra have the courage to tell maoists that he can agree to discuss constituent assembly if they agree for immidiate ceasefire and come for dialogue? Maoists also need a safe landing. They also need some thing as an achievement for their decade long insurgency. At least if they can say to their cadres- look we have created the chance for holding constituent assembly election, we have won something ; then they would be able to come for dialogue. otherwise would they forfeit all of their power they have garnered in these 10 years just to accept the King as an unprecedentedly powerful monarch? Would they hand over their arms and surrender to the Royal Nepalese army for nothing? To expect this is just a childish day dream. Guys lets try to be pragmatic.

To strengthen his grip in power, Gyanendra may now seek to bring about a new constitution. Lets discuss on how would Gyanendra try to defy the call for restoration of democratic rights. Explicit supporters of mandales unwelcome.

my friend, he embodies the constitution now. what he speaks is law.


the constition is He
He the constitution
the law is His speech
He the law
Nepal is He
He is Nepal


that has been amply demostrated by his systematic rape of first the spirit and then the word, each and every word of the '91 constitution. all of this while he is protecting and furthering that constitution!

take the royal commission on corruption control for example. it has a broad range of powers - including one against dissent. even beyond that it has the authority to dish out punitive action, a ruling that an be challenged only at Sarboccha. why empowering the constitutional body CIAA was not an option is beyond me. as is the need to circumvent the judiciary.

but who is going to question Him?

New User Bro:

I love hearing from you and hope we can continue exchanging our views on many different topics. Thank you for taking your time to share ideas.

I have yet to hear from you about one question I asked you in the beginning. Do you think our lives have improved in the last 15 years? After all thats what we want in our life, dont we? I believe your simple answer of Yes or No will suffice that.

Well, I am neither one of those who chant Jai Jai Sarkar or nor the one who join the rally belonging to one of those political parties who destroy public properties and hamper lives of ordinary people. I am one of those who follow the normal life just like 24 million janta. Unless you belong to either side, I am sure your life or your closed ones lives have been affected. I dont believe in bullshits from any groups. But I do believe in reality and like to face the situation.

Life as it seems is not so simple. Sometimes you have to make a decision with very limited resources you have. That is exactly what our nation is going thru. You have to face the reality. We dont have that much choice. If King G cannot straighten things out, then may be it is time to say good bye to that system.

Constituent Assembly may be a great theory just like socialism, communism or whatever. Again this is floated by none other than politicians. Do you think people can trust them? I dont think so. They did same with different name 15 years ago. They failed us miserably. Majority of our janta are not educated and they got fooled by nice bhasan like Asiayali Magdandha or the living standard of Switzerland in 15 years. I gues we can compare ourselves to Sudan or Somalia.

My point is at the end of the day, it is the people who makes a difference. If we have same assholes who come out with different topics, do you think it makes a difference. No it dont. Talk is cheap. Action is what we need. We need someone who can talk the talk and walk the walk.

I am sure everybody has felt a sense of insecure back home. I would be surprised if anyone has not felt that way. Unless that person is directly connected to neta.

Salambambi said-
'' have yet to hear from you about one question I asked you in the beginning. Do you think our lives have improved in the last 15 years? After all thats what we want in our life, dont we? I believe your simple answer of Yes or No will suffice that. ''

If you read all the content of this thread from the beginning, you could have clearly understood that my answer was 'no' to your question. Let me repeat it- Do you think our lives have improved in the last 15 years? No , no at all. It has worsened.

But. Mind you I have got a BUT along with my answer. I shall explain you why later on.

15 years before, there was no Maoists violence in the country. There was no political crime in this massive scale. There was no visible corruption, may be the invisible corruption was also less in extent. Nepal was quite peaceful. Sajha Bus, Himal cement, Bhrikuti Kagaj, Hetauda Kapada, Janakpur churot karkhana all were in profit. Nepal was greener, forest thicker then what it is today. In the last fifteen years, the public companies collapsed, violence prevailed, governments failed. But still, I strongly say that Gyanendra's Feb 1 move was a grave mistake. Still I say that the last 15 or 16 years were at least better then the earlier Panchayat regime. In my judgement those 15 years were a big leap towards democracy in Nepal. No matter how difficult situation the country had to face, those 15 years have shed light in the dark corriders of the Nepalese society. You will see the result of those 15 years within few years if not months to come. Just wait and see. Nepalese people have become far more conscious today. Nepalese people are far more intelligent today.And they will not tolerate suppression from the rulers for long.
Why? and How? I will put forward my view later on. For the time being let me quote your own sentence to support my arguement-
''If King G cannot straighten things out, then may be it is time to say good bye to that system. ''

to be contd.

Well yes, I can't see things deeper then on the surface.
I wonder if you could see. congratulations if you could see beyond the surface.
Mate I don't look on ground, I look up straight and see far away(unlike you).

One more to round up
''I'm getting sick of this thread for its lack of depth in any aspect. ''

I am very glad to know that at least I have been able to sicken some of the sajha mandales. I am encouraged with this success and try to sicken as many of you as possible.

New user,
I did not think that you were so little and your views were so limited. Mandale- is that how you going to treat your oppositions? If somebody wants to support other view points than yours then you start calling them names? Where is your bhasan about freedom of speech? You should not be posting your ideas and views here telling yourself being impartial. You are no different than G Bush who would not mind calling any body terrorists if they oppose his views. You are very BIASED! You need to stop your bhashan. I do not believe that you are not among one of the politicians or maoists. You have no views other than against King G. I do not care what you gonna name me... but all I want is peace in my country. And I cannot see peace with the corrupted leaders ruining the situation. I cannot see in your views either. I have listened to bhashans like yours lot before you started here.

FreeofDogma:

That's exactly what I mean. NewUser is not getting the point. If he is still in college, I have nothing to argue. He is more in hteory and less in action.

All I am saying to NewUser is we cannot continue with same corrupted leaders. I will accpet any other leaders if they have vision, leadership and sacrifice they can make. But I will not tolerate anyone who just changes book cover. For them, Constituent Assembly is another excuse just like they did 15 years ago. If leaders are not ready, how can they lead.I have yet to see one.

Now he is saying nepali are more intelligent, couragous, and last 15 yrs of development are leap forward. To me it all sounds like he is one of the fortunate one. But I dont know how. It sounds like his family or relativesor friends have not felt the pain of tragedy and miserable failures our nation is going thru.

Well all I care about is peace and security. May be you can use that intelligent, couragous for your benefit. But all we want is peace so that I can live peacefully with my closed ones.

Here in the current context " I do not know the solution but I really admire the problem" (some wise crack)

Honestly, in current context I do not see any visionary and ethically sound leader.
Consiuet Assembly, Huh, how it will work. What happened after 1190 - Bitter divison and poltical nominations. Thats it. So how you gonna work on that??

So, I say for the change people should work together to get the framework set.

Some dude talked about CIAA, what u think bro if the poltical appointment goes through what will happen to this these CIAA people.
ex: Govinda Raj Joshi got convicted but never busted although he was moving around freely. They got too much power.

Maoist - I am not being able to believe they are fighting for the genuine cause to eliminate social unjustice. Instances - the attacks in public installations, extortions from
individuals, eliminating anybody against them. In this case how we will about to go for consiute assembly?

Look at leaders these are stray dogs. They will start to waging tails to anybody who will throw bones at them. They are barking cause King G has taken away bone and they wanna get it back.

I really do not understand why people generalize. As I said before and I will say again there are people who do not know what to choose. I see darkness everywhere.

COnsitute Assembly seems a person holding ray of light in one hand and in the other hand a knife to stab you.

Peace

Hello friends,

Of the 118 postings in this thread so far, 71 postings are not mine. They are from you. Although many of you disagree with me, and label me as John Kerry , George Bush, Maoist, close to corrupt political leaders, short-sighted, superficial, immature, impractical, theoritical and so on; isn't it nice to attract these many responses? I think most of the comments are made only after reading my posting, which makes me feel like oh this is great. At least people are reading me and taking their time to share their ideas. To draw dislike and criticism from many people is also some sort of success.
All of you are welcome to express your dissatisfaction, however baseless or irrelevant some of them may be in the upcoming postings. At least we have a democratic forum in which pro monarchists, pro-democratics and pro-republicans are expressing their ideas in equal proportion. Isn't this something impartial ? although my opinions are little bit tilted towards democracy. For democracy is the most impartial system available in the world at present, implying (pro monarchist+pro democracatic+prorepublican) Nepalese = democracy =impartiality. Whatever assumption you have made on me, my way of resolving the current crisis is based on the above formula. If each one of the three components give up some of their vested interests, it is not impossible , it is not impractical to solve the maoists problem of the country. Corruption cannot be elliminated but can be controlled once these three forces reach to a consensus through dialogue. King Gyanendra can still be a hero by trying to forge a consensus by agreeing to hold an election for constituent assembly in some period of time, say within 3 years. Guys, I feel like maoist rebels are no less Nepalese then the King or political leaders or other Nepalese or you and me. Let a big chunk of misguided Nepalese be given a chance to rest their weapons and join the political framework. Constituent assembly is not a big deal, constitutional restructuring is not a big deal. One day, this demand of the Maoists must be met so why not we do it sooner to avoid more bloodshed in the country. This is my point.

Now, 3 weeks have past by since King Gyanendra took over the power. Should we not do a quick review of the major events of past 21 days and make our assesement on the developments so far?

In the last 23 days,

The telephone lines and the internet are reconnected.
The print media is some how carrying on it's publication with the easing off of restrictions.
The ban on independent media remains entact.

New cabinet has started to function with the addition of Tulsi Giri and Kirtinidhi Bista as deputy PMs. Some hopes for the Kathmanduties as Kathmandu feels a bit more secure.
The capital has not experienced much difficulty, the security forces seem to be nullifying the Maoists at least in the capital. Something to cheer about for the metropolitans.
Kathmandu looks a bit clean as sweepers and cleaners take charge now. Government offices are also speeding up their performance as the security forces are vigilent on their work. Few good moves. We must appreciate good things, who ever does them.
However, the condition out side the valley has not improved at all. Violent clashes are continuing without the true figure of casualty coming out. Kapilbastu is showing signs of the new anarchy in the country.

In the mean time, the King has formed an anti-corruption commission. Strengthening of CIAA would have been a good move, the creation of a new body comprising of doubtful individuals is not a better sign for the drive for corruption control. Moreover it's amazing to see Surya bahadur Thapa, Govinda Raj Joshi released so quickly. It's more intruiging to see Human rights activists Krishna Pahadi and Gauri Pradhan arrested but Joshi released. Narahari Acharya and Daman Nath Dhungana kept in detention while Khum Bahadur Khadka is left untouched.

Gyanendra has also decided to install panchayat full fedgedly by reviving the ghostly post of the past - Zonal Commissioner. I think very few countries have opted to step back in the history. To be honest, I have not seen any nations going back to the old days. Russia, Ukraine, Romania, China, Iran, Afgahnistan, Pakistan, none of the countries have decided to get back with time. But bizarre things happen in Nepal. This shows Gyanendra doesn't have his own vision but is seeing through the eyes of Panchayati Stalwarts like Tulsi Giri and Kirtinidhi Bishta. No wonder if Gau Farka abhiyan is reinstated.

In the last three weeks, Gyanendra seems to be enjoying his honeymoon in power. He might be remembering the youths when he married young Komal and honeymooned in Europe.
He has generated good support from the northern neighbour. He has not allowed political parties to regroup for demonstration against him. Kathmanduties seem to be relieved not to see those sense less banda and chakkajam. He doesn't have concerns on what happens in the other part of the country let alone Kapilastu. Even If he had concerns what else could he do? For God's grace or the Maoists incapability, no big attack has been launched so far.

But Gyanendra and his loyal supporters have faced tough times already. India and the UK have withdrawn their military help and support. the UN, US and Europe have all criticised the King. It will be good if the lull in violence continues. but once the Maoists strike, how is he going to deal the new situation? The congress, the UML, even the RPP (forget other small parties) have all been ignored and rebuffed. Media is India, America and Europe and even the UN have shown their back. So how is Gyanendra going to handle everything all alone and without the support of neutral citizens like us? Won't it be a shame for him to give up his mad desire to install panchayat only after few months?

These are not the days of 60s and 70s. The world has moved to the 21st century. Can Gyanendra remain isolated from the world and remain in power for long??
