Democracy? What democracy?

I was at standard 8 when entire Nepal unite for democracy. I didn't even know what was it all about but what I had thought was- probably there would no longer be the King in our country. And I was excited. I didn't even know what wrong he had done but still I was excited. I remember, I even told my dad, "why not you be the PM of the country -now it is going to be people's government anyway" K.P. Bhattarai became acting PM of the country. He showed some changes like constitution was re-written, election date was fixed, parliamentary system replaced panchayati system. But what I had thought about king was wrong. Such re-written constitution again assigned power to the King to play. Again there was the King but then he was "constitutional monarchy" but somewhere, somehow he was still ahead of anything. ELECTION KO LAHARA AYO BARILAI. This excited everybody. Nepal people gave majority to NC and ULM as strong opposition. But our unfortunate the Netas whom we trusted most started decieving us. There started faction and fracture. There started battle between so called great leader Ganesh Man and Girija, Krishna and Girija, NCP and UML and what not. Nobody had any clue what the fck they wanted. For sure Ganesh Man wanted his Wife and Son some Kurshi. Krishna wanted something for his Kapali ,UML wanted another Chunab and finally Girija wanted everything SINGO NEPAL. Everybody single freak wanted to be Mantri. Aba khor ma basda basda marna lageko jangali haru Singha Darbar bhitra pasnu pauda ta Chor haru lai Indrasthan nai bhayeko thiyo. Girija finally dissolve parliament and recalled for another election. ABA LOOT KO DHAN FUPU KO SHARAD GARNU PAYEKAI THIYO, BAJE LAI K MATLAB. Then Madan and Asrit was killed, but dont know how. Election was recalled for second time. Masal boycotted the election and went into Jungle. Within no time we started something new. STREET RIOT AND NEPAL BANDH. Soon it became a scheduled event. Second election was worth watching as we see in hindi movie how Bihari Bhaiya win the election. (Guys I am not faking - I was in Bhairawa at that time and I saw what had happend). Pro-monarch of panchyati era was now democratic leader. ULM came to the power with Milijuli Sarkar. It collapse when one party pull of the ruling coaliation. It happen again and again and again. It was no more novel occurence. I litterally started to forget who used to be PM of Nepal. Then came Girija. YET another government has collapsed. The political crisis arose when the GPK, resigned after one of his partners pulled out of the ruling coalition. He was reappointed to the prime ministership by King Birendra, the new government?the sixth since the last general election in 1994?freaking six time. In the name of developement we even saw Politics in dumping site. We saw Pajero of every single MP. We saw Zee TV and Star TV. And we saw HULDANGA, CHAKKA JAM, NEPAL BANDH. Girija, Makune and their alike sucked whatever possible they could. Sujata came back from Germany, Arju came from middle of nowhere. Politician like Khumbhadur Khadka, Govinda Raj Joshi became millioniar overnight. My used-to-be ideal Mod Nath Prasit didn't even let his chance go. Bam Dev claim himself as Sahid and let his son go to china in Scholarship Khota especially meant for Sahid ko Santan. In that sense he was living Sahid. Ministers even claim themselves to be sukambashi and occupy the land meant for actual sukambashi. Lets not talk about Kanda -LC Kanda, Lauda Kanda, Arun Kanda. Our politician didn't spare the major industries of Nepal and which are now in the verge of bankruptcy. The frequenty political interferece totally sabotage the existence of such industries- few to be named - Hetauda Kapada Udhyog (which was one of the sophisticated factory built by chinese during panchayat era), Bhrikuti Kagaz Kharkhana, Birgunj Chini Udhyog, Nepal Bank and so on. So democracy was meant for our Charitra Hin Neta and Karyakarta. For us it was nothing more than Chiya-guff. And specially to me it was like soccer game between parties. Then people started looking at Maoist. We hoped may Maoist would bring everything under control. But who had thought those Maoist were tactically mobilized by our Neta. For your guys information I had been to so many Netas house not for the political purpose, I had heard them talking about Maoist as if Maoist are their allies. If you guys don't know - neta like khumbahadur khadka, pasupati samsher were backed by maoist to win the election. Generic school of thought justify - if Maoist were real revolutionist they would have killed couple of Neta rather than karyakarta and would have caputer capital way ahead. They turned out to be moron like our Netas. Massacre- Nobody knows the reality but I dont believe its Dipendra. I had always looked upon him as a living intelligent in Nepal. I cannot ignore his good side provin him drunkard or this and that. Post-massacre we saw the real power of the King. Then we had democratic government which remain silent and sane. My point is King was powerful then, now he is and will be always, then what so wrong when we finally got rid of moron politician? From the day one I had predicted that king would shacked the power one day and it finally happen. People like me are not surprised with KG's move. These are post-democratic pictures of Nepal. Later if I have time I will explain how these series of events trigger today's situation and Later I will put something that I witnessed in Nepal during Democratic Era. Ahile lai yeti nai....Lekhdai Garumla
