Nothing personal, but I rather applaud Kanak for his courage to speak out against the atrocities committed by both the royals (and his cronies) and the Maoist than some dubious, ?in-between? democrats, who are often the first ones to raise scepticism to anything that targets, one way or another, the King. Why is it so damn hard for these ?in-betweens? to appreciate and recognize the fact that Kanak fairly articulated what the most of us have in our heart and mind. And, it matters. No matter how "ordinary" or "common" these articles may seem, I salute them for being honest to the cause they believe in. It's indeed better than keeping quiet (try to keep others quiet), and worse, question the genuine concerns with sarcastic scepticism as if nothing matters.
