"WHEN GANDHI DECIDED TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIANS IN SOUTH AFRICA - He was 21 or 22 years old at that time. " Absolutely wrong, I don't consider M. Gandhi as an active politician, like me, other than PQN1 some ppl may consider as such. He was freedom fighter. At his early 20s he worked for the rights of ethnic Indian in SA and later started "SATYAGHRAHA" back home. He joined National Congress not for the politics but to give life to his movement. I think like average nepali and myself, Saroj do honour democracy as well but you guys should understand, he is talkin about the plight of Nepal and Nepali in the name of democracy. The question is not about either democracy is good for Nepal or bad for Nepal, it is - Is Nepal good enough for Democracy or not? Democracy can be brought into action when citizen of Nepal is common agenda for our politician, when law and order mean something to every single individual. We should accept the fact that we don't have something to materialize the democracy. And Confuse, if I happen to bring down your own poster you will be amaze by your own double standard (my apology if I had said anything wrong). Actually I had always enjoyed reading ur poster on different occassion. You were among the my fav Sajhaties. Don't take it otherwise. Confuse, You keep changing your views, may be after every dusk and dawn. Anyway if I were to answer your question about "communication blackout" - That is how it work under such circumstances. If such action hadn't been taken we would have seen Kathmandu and some other major cities turned into ashes. Imagine you and I were Neta, and we were not been under arrest and our phones had dial tone - what we had done? I guess I answered your question as ISO did. I am just trying to elaborate. Confuse, somewhere I had read "If somebody have good car and one homeless ask for that car, would you give it to the homeless?" - I think question was kinda like that from your side- FYI - Big NO. But you should give him the way to live. You should at least give a piece bread and a spoon of butter. Do you know gap of living standard in Nepal after restoration of democracy? When more than half hardly could afford bread ,other half who was with Neta were driving Pajero. I am not throwing this in air.
