IF, It's only when we are in a propaganda mood, we can not have a meaningful debate. Otherwise, there is no reason why you and I can not have discussions. And the topic you picked up is really interesting and I don't mind to share my views vis a vis yours. To start with, I think what we are talking about belongs to what I will call 'Political psychology' rather than pure politics or history, for that matter. So let's separate the emotions and the facts. Unification of Nepal is not a historical fact. It is a psychological fact. Historical fact is, it was a RAJYABISTAR of an ambitious King, and an OK thing to do, going by prevailing norms at that time. There is nothing wrong with that. Although my baraju (according to my grandfather's claim which could not be verified) might have a 'rajya' ruled by Khadkas in history, I am not going to claim that now !! My identity is a proud citizen of Nepal. Since the time my first ancestor was born in the nation called Nepal, it has been so to them as well. On this note, let's ask a hypothetical question (I had an interesting conversation with Paschim a long time ago in Sajha on exactly this question !) Had our princely states by chance 'unified' by, let's say, the King of Punjab at that time, would this generation of us, you and me, be regretting not having hypothetical nation 'Nepal' or would be identifying ourselves, again by historical events, as proud citizens of India ? I would like to quote (loosely) my lines which Paschim said striked him. Beauty is skin deep and the National identity is one generation deep. Change in national identity is painful (psychologically hard) for the current generation. From next generation, it normalizes- unless you are discriminated, of course. The Sikkimelis who were born in independent Sikkim are still not settled with their identity psychologically. But the children of Sikkimelis born in Indian Sikkim identify themselves as proud citizens of India. What this all means to us at this sensitive point of time ? To me, it means, we have to everything possible to save our country from becoming another Sikkim. If it happened by any misfortune, next generation of ours is not going to fight to regain our independence. What are the chances for this misfortune to happen ? Pretty good chance. People are tired. And Scholars like Dadagiri, NK and IF are conditioning them to accept unethical things. If Gyanendra gives up his ambition, Nepal will live for good. If Gyanendra continues his tyrant regime, people will not mind to integrate with India for peace, if not anything. Let's defeat this ambitious tyrant with no waiting and save Nepal. If we wait and see, we will find ourselves as Indians.
