धन्यवाद कप्तान साप । मेरो उपसंहार, उही पुरानो थाँङ्ने कुरा : So what the hell could be ?a pro-democracy, pro-justice, progressive reconciliation that can bring all three political powers to one place and engage theme in legitimate, peaceful and constructive political activities? ? Let?s begin with the most powerful and difficult party, the monarch. (The Maoists and political parties are easy to please. Give them a democratic republic, they will be happy. It is the monarch we need to think carefully about). Let?s try to find something the monarch can not refuse. I would rather go one step further and propose: let?s find the thing the King is really wanting. What the heck ! What is monarch wanting ? More and legitimate political power and dignity. No problem. We can give him those. Let?s start with political power. How much political power he might be wishing to have ? As much as possible. And how much is as much as possible ? Ummm? as much as the prime minister of Nepal has, or, had Nepal been a republic with a presidential system of government, ? as much as the president would have. How about that ? Okay, no problem. But how can we make that possible ? Where there is a will, there is a way. Let the King run in the election. For the president of Nepal. But then Nepal will be a republic. Do you have a problem with that ? No. But the King ? He has the [possibility for] political power of a president. How about recently conducted poll that concluded that an overwhelming majority of Nepali people are against the republican democracy ? (pun intended) :-) How about prominent leaders and intellectuals who are dismissing and trashing republican democracy ? (pun intended) :-) Now dignity. A king defeated by popular movement for republican democracy might not see dignity in running for the election of the president of Nepal. But if the republic of Nepal is established by the King himself by his own great and noble sacrifice of the crown, there is no better dignity and honor than in participating in it. Yes, the King will need a lot of support and persuasion too from everybody for that. And this exactly where we can and must do a lot and make a difference. So I urge all the prominent leaders and intellectuals who are, may are dare say, wasting their energy in dismissing and trashing republican democracy, to use that energy in persuading the monarch to agree for a republic and preferably participate in it. That will a glorious democratic and progressive reconciliation for Nepal. And sustainable one. And one in which all parties of the conflict and stakeholders will be able to come to one place and engage in legitimate, peaceful and constructive political activities. What can beat this ? If the King does not agree for it, it is he who should be lambasted, not the aspirants of the republic of Nepal. सबैलाई चेतना भया । Read more here: When Only The Wrong Parties are Right - http://insn.org/?p=911
