I agree to some of the points raised here but my reasons for agreeing could be different. I strongly believe that the near and dear ones of the maoist top brass should be captured and tortured. I fully understand that the Maosits' near and dear ones could be normal and law-abiding citizens like ourselves, but the government could indirectly put pressure on the thugs this way to surrender or take a peaceful route. Though I will have the deepest sympathies for the innocent (possibly) family members of the Maoist top leaders, I think this is a tough decision the government has to make sooner or later in the interest of other affected Nepalese including those who call themselves maoists. However, I think that this kind of tough but fully warranted meausre will not be taken by the government, not in the nearfuture at least, because then the top leaders could themselves be the target of a fatal attack. So, basically this so-called people's war (of course w/o peoples' support) is noththing but "Goru ko judai baccha ko michai".
