I found this thread interesting: Nepe wrote: "Rajpal Singh is a NUANCED monarchist, let's say, a political photocopy of our own Ashu Tiwari." Ashu writes: Nepe, thank you for throwing this flame. Fortunately, it's verifiably FALSE. For Ashu's info, Just before the closer of TND, Sardar Khalifa 's posting in reader's comment forum was so noisy and full of flames hurled against a reader who seemed staunch supporter of Democracy. At one time, Sirdar Khalifa tried tell the editorial what they should publish and what they should not..... If you had seen these postings by Sirdar Khalifa (i.e. Rajpal Singh), you will surely realize that Rajpal is not currently a democrat of '90s TND 's editor in chief. He has left democracy long time ago, thats what I felt from his postings in TND's readers' discussion section. I agree with Nepe's claim that Rajpal, i.e. Sirdar Khalifa was clearly acting against the on going publication norms of TND. I am sure Rajpal i.e. Sirdar Khalifa should be the reason TND was closed, eventhough he was advisor, but the reader's section clearly showed Khalifa was not letting Ujjwal what he wanted to publish, e.g. Surendra Devkota's articles or Kamala Sarup's articles....
