Highfly I'm ready to take "another" bullet as well. The political picture of Nepal is different from that of American Civil war however the intent of bringing equality and social justice to all is no different. American civil war was fought against racial equality and against racial discrimination. There is not an extensive slavery problem in Nepal as it existed in the US before 1860s however extensive racial discrimination is a reality and Baburam must have had seen the long term problems associated with it. If you ever have had a chance of looking at Baburam's 40 point demands (submitted in 1996 just days before opening the war), three demands (Point no 20,21 and 22) are explicitly mentioned to address the existing realities of racial inequality in Nepal. In the Baburam's 40 point demands submitted in 1996, only 5 demands appears hardcore Communist ideals which I really dont like. I like to see those 5 demands be removed and scrapped. For the rest of the 35 demands (out of 40), they are very much worth fighting for the social justice and equality and is very realistic to the Nepali social and political context. And have you ever read the constitution of Nepal 1990 which has provisions like "constitutional monarchy" and monarch and his relatives are above the law. When Prince Harry of Britain can be arrested by police for smoking pot then why the f**k cant Parsh be arrested for "homocide" or at least "manslughter" charges, indicted and tried under grand jury. Jenna Bush and Barbara Bush are the daughters of the most powerful man in this world but yet they were charged for DUI (Dtiving Under Influence) or drunk driving who the heck is Parash and Gyane. Why the heck should anyone treat Parash and Gyane like some unconquerable super-human beings above the law. I'll really support anyone (wether it is Maoist or anyone else). Another such provision of the Constitution Nepal 1990 states Nepal as Hindu kingdom. Isnt it a prefencial treatment to a perticular religion ? The US or Canada or Britain or Germany could well have incorporated a perticular religion into state and therefore called their country like Christain kingdom of Britain or Christain Dominion of Canada, Christian Republic of the Unites States of America or Christian Republic of Germany. Another provision that Constituion of Nepal that handled really badly was the question of control of Nepal Army. Why the heck would any poor Nepali taxpayers should and wanna pay for the military that they dont have control over while some else (monarch) who doesnt even pay for the military has the tight control over it ?
