Mons""r Brahmin, Are you fking crazy?? It seems like you are one of those oppressing and therefore are insecure cause they might get back to you. ...On a trip to Manchhet, half way thru Ganesh Himal, I met so many of those oppressed people... they work their ass off all year thru..growing food...corn to apples and raising cows...and only on summer they can afford to make about 1000 bucks - selling their corn and chhiya to trekkers like us...if they are lucky...and that is enough to buy more grains for the next year.. Another example..half the road to Gosainkunda had eroded due to landslide and upon asking the fellow villagers..why they have not been able to control the landslides every year, this guy told me..the villagers actually form a group and dig out the concrete and make sure they have landslides in the rainy season, for then they will have jobs again to build back the roads by winter and thus help feed their kids... Another project in Syangja made me come across women in support of their maoist husbands..running their shops, doing the Kheti pati their hubbies had previously done and bringing up their kids on their own so they can fight against the oppreesive government for the basic necessecities of life: roti, kapada and chatt... It is people like you mister Brahmin who ignore the truth and thus create oppression... I hope whovever agreed with him start oipening their eyes and not be so adamentaly ignorant... God Bless Ya'll
