Nepe, by his own admission on Sajha once, comes from a communist background. Among Nepali communists, as with communists everywhere, thoughts are generated by debating in an echo chamber .. . where you talk ONLY to people who already share your political beliefs and whatever you say is echoed back to you. Anyone who deviates from the party line or questions the assumptions behind the party-line thoughts are thrown out or punished .. . a milder version of how Maoism operates today in Nepal. Over time, the effects or the imprints of such trainings, undertaken in one's youth, do not go away easily. That is why, in an open forum like this, since he can't say "gaddhar" to those who don't share his political beliefs to the degree he holds them, he has to find a way to reduce them to caricatures (even when those caricatures are false). This explains his penchant for calling "raja ko chamcha" to anyone who dares differ from his Party Line. This is how it goes. Meantime, some old-time Nepali communists -- even as they build houses in Kathmandu and send their kids to America for education and employment -- are still waiting for the collapse of capitalism!! Then again, by now, I am quite used to Nepe's calling me everything under the sun. Dealing with him on Sajha prepares me well to deal with the tactics of communist ideologues in real life in Nepal. oohi ashu
