Obviously, the government, made up of crooks, freaks and hacks could do no better. The nation is sliding into the realm of anarchy, where the only rule is something not written anywhere, but issued by the shameless ruler living at a palace. We are now disgraced at World Bank, among our friendly countries, and slowly, as news such as that of Kapilbastu mobbing come forth, we are being seen as a pariah nation. Democracy, with all its foibles and blemishes, was a system with known parameters of law governing it. People like Gyanendra and Tulsi Giri have no regard for such a system, especially when they think they own the country. Unsurprisingly, their first target is unarmed civil society and the fourth state: they can live with other barbarians such as the Maoists, but not with the civil and cultivated mass.
