GP and frankestien, i could be wrong and, but i really believe characterisation of gagan in the way you did didnt sit too well with me. first of all GP you could be his friend or just a great fan of nepali democracy who loves someone who really is stepping against the monarchy in nepal and i am not so sure could turn out to be one of the greatest leader in history. frankestien, if you look up my earlier posts u would know that i kinda supported king's move on feb 1, coz i saw it in pakistan when pervez musharraf took over the country and of all places they were celebrating it in of all places, peshawar. u might argue they could have been just some paid people to demonstare that julus but i had that feeling it was genuine. ideologies are great, marx was great, mao was awsome and i dont know if u have followed the communist/congress/ democratic movement around the world but "alo. presidente" is the top rated show in venezuela where hugo chavez takes call from local listeners all day long on sunday live. do i like chavez, maybe. do i like his propoganda or philosopies as such, i doubt it. but is he a great leader...hell yeah.i dont remember it correctly but i think it was aldous huxley who said " when a person is in big mass, or julus as such, they forget their identities and chaos creeps in and whoever is in that situation to impress and diverse those mass of people in his diresction can be counted as great leader" i could have interpreted incorrectly. so to say gagan thapa will be future girija is i think a wrong assumption... i personally believe he will be worse or may be lot better. and gp's your assumptions that he could be the next messaih........i hope u are really right but i dont think thats possible. leadership is game of oppurtunitists. personally u could be good or bad and can strive to be anything but when u decide to be a leader u have to be everything not just anything.hey, i sincerely wish gagan will turn out to be one of the greatest leader of our history and wish him all the best. jai nepal by the way i am member of nepali congress party mysef
