"All these things happened because of sacrifices made by many Gagan like people... whether you like it or not. It did not happen because of many western educated opportunists, but because of these poor nepalis .............. We should be grateful to them. " well Gp ji, it didn't all happen because of many Eastern, especially Nippon educated oppurtunists either. :-) " Now, is a time to speak loudly. Ashu one page writing in NepaliTimes might be more effective than Gagan's shouting in Ratna Park. But, not using ashu's abilities is clear indication of his hesitation either from personal perspective or from his professional clacuations (benefit vs loss) or from both perspectives. " Gp ji, a writer/a columnist has the rights to choose his topic and can write whatever he feels about it in the 500-600 words limit. If you blame ashu for not writing what you feel/think he should be writing, you are expecting too much from him. Let him write what he feels like writing, if you are not happy, you just stop reading him. I am sure he is not forcing you to read his articles at gun point.. or is he?:-) And blaming people for seeking benifits and this and that just because they refuse to be your mouthpiece is quite undemocratic, hoina? " Its time to speak by peoples like Ashu, and so many educated masses whose single page can change the fate of 25 million Nepalis. Look at Shrawn Mukarang's one kabita/muktak, it can be so effective .... but if you don't use at the hour of need, what is it for? " Gp ji, why don't you do this FIRST yourself. Afai garera dekhai dinus na.. afai example banne ni, kina arka ko mukh takera basne? La guru ji, lekhau 2-4 ota article yeso Nepali Times, Kantipur lai. " Next part. Education is backbone of education. We should not forget why Japan and Korea were able to develop so fast. The very first reason is education. Though the number of women in work force is not that promising, but good mothers are good teachers for 16 hours. " Japan ra Korea developed because of education, but there is another component to Japanese and Korean development, and that is, industrialization and "modernziation". Guru ji tyatro Purba ma basya, aba yaha lai thaha chadai cha ni gathi kuro k ho bhanera. " waiting for opportunities or to sideline with guys like Gagan who despite of life threatening challenges continues to dedicate himself for the public benefit in hot day in Ratna Park... Its time to speak by peoples like Ashu, and so many educated masses whose single page can change the fate of 25 million Nepalis. Look at Shrawn Mukarang's one kabita/muktak, it can be so effective .... but if you don't use at the hour of need, what is it for? " Guru ji, is this what you REALLY feel or its just another hahoo? Gagan is not doing community service in ratnapark, he is, as others have already pointed out, creating a place for himself in Nepali politics. You saw him rallying for the public benifit "in hot day in Ratnapark", but what you didn't see or pretend not to see is the disrupotion of classes in colleges, his supporters peltings tones at the cops, people vandalizing public properties etc. You also don't question what makes him a student leader? What is his qualification to become a student leader? What college does he attend? How long is he going to be a student leader? Sorry to disappoint you Guru ji, but these student leaders are the worst people in Nepali politics, even worse than Girija and Deuba. They threaten teachers, beat them up.. they disrupt classes, they do all sort of things which does not affect the ruling class/group, but the very students they think they are benifitting from such silly displays of political consicousness. Students can't study, teachers can't teach... and who do you think is affected by this? Not YOU, not ME, not ASHU, not any other Sajha poster, but the poor Nepalis who can't afford to go abroad and who come from villages to get higher education in Kathmandu. Have you ever even thought from those poor people's perspective? Because of Gagane and company they can't study, the exams get rescheduled.. campus looks like a war zone..imagine all the psychological burden these poor kids have to bear because of these suckers like Gagane! Then come and tell me, IF you are wrong and Gagan is really a student leader, a bright young politician, I will, without questioning your judgement, follow Gagan.. But for now, unless you prove me that 1) he is not getting money from political leaders 2) he is a genuine student (that he is not enrolled for his 5th Master's in Sociology or whatever) 3) he does not encourage his followers to destroy public properties 4) he lets teacher teach and stundets study peacefully 5) he is not looking for any political gain I remain, not only a skeptic but an ultra-critic of these band of hooligans.
