While Gagan Thapa has shown a lot of courage and love of democracy, I find many of the things in his views that contradicts his own idealogies. I am surprised, while many of you extolled his love for democracy, I wonder why none of you commented on his "10 jana le harek din phone garnu campus chief lai, psychologically torture garnu. Ta beluki yo bato hischas ta sanga 7 baje bhetula". Whoa!! a big slap to democracy, ain't it?. I do not find any difference between him and King. Both of them are trying to impose their political views on other. So, according to him the fault of campus chief is that he supports King. And according to King,people like Gagan Thapa does not support monachy. But both of them promise to restore democracy. I see the means of attaining democracy failing in both their ways. If Gagan Thapa's tactics to reach democracy is threating and mental torture who doesnot share his political views and the people who follow him share and adopt this vision, I have to say he is not a political activist, they are not political activist. It was humorous when he replied, "I told Girija, I am disappointed in you." Repeating his own comment, multiparty system was restoredin 1990, and since then the government doesnot have any agenda and stuff. And he waited till this time to tell his leader that he was disappointed with the leadership. And it came only when Girija told,"I am disppointed with YOU." I could not make sense of when he said, " In the age when we do not like God's slavery,...." He is naming faith as slavery, I do not agree. I do not doubt the fact that he has leadership quality. According to the report, it seems he has been able to influence many people. And it is obvious, he is very eloquent(one thing that the government spokesperson lacked a big time). However, let me remind you a good leader needs a true and good visions apart from being influential. One thing yet more curios about the report. i wonder where did Kundan Dixit got his statistics that most of the army is being used to suppress political activities or how he came to that conclusion. I have no knowledge about this, but there is no reason to believe him as well. Lastly, I think Gagan Thapa needs some interactive political science classes to refine his amateur jump in this field so that his mind and heart get some moral sense of right and wrong.
