This thread meant to mourn the massacre of 35 innocent civilians and 3 private citizens who were serving for the country. And, there comes a 'preacher' (or fatichar, I wonder), who does not even bother to write a word or two to share the thoughts with bereaved ones before starting to lecture in-length the do's and do not's of the ways to make things 'right.' And, s/he does so, as if Kanak or other so-called 'civil society' leaders did something really bad by mourning the loss of human lives with what they could and/or have: sharing, writing and narrating human sufferings that may not mean anything to the person with lots of frustrations and confusions with life, but certainly is courageous enough to speak for their cause (Go check how small narratives like these helped indict the war-criminals in Bosnia, Cosovo, etc.) Ashutosh, I never knew you--'a long-time Nepal watcher,' would dare to have such 'cynical interpretations' on the loss of 38 human lives. Your being a cynical on 'anti-king' protests was one thing that was fully understandable, given your 'in-between' position, but let's at least have a common human decency to let others mourn this gruesome war crime and tell the world that the crimes like these will not go unnoticed, shall we? No matter how small and haphazard such efforts may seem to you, let's try to appreciate someone with the guts to do so. Also, you seem to imply that nothing will happen and it's even futile to document such acts, and that Shambhu Thapa or Bishnu Nisthuri's death would have made a difference. I wonder now why you selective chose them in stead of the current high profiles like Sharat Chandra Shah, Tulsi Giri, Bharat Keshari Singh, and Sachit JBR? Wouldn't their death provoke exactly what you want to see 'civil-society' leaders should doing? Hope you are not mad that people like Shambhu and Bishnu, who once were thought to be not so politically charged against the King, are really up to something these days: fighting for the civil liberty and press-freedom. Having said that, let me say this. I can bet my money on this that you will have more reasons to jump up and down and do some sophomoric rants with another round of 'bashings' and 'elaborations' of you usual repetitions. However, let's this thread to be exactly what it meant to be: mourning of the fellow countrymen's (and women) lives. Let's keep our differences for another occasion, which I am sure is just around the corner. You have a great night.
