My 2 cents: I think Maoists saw light after February 1. Nepe is right, as usual, that Prachanda is for the overthrow of monarchy but Prachanda clearly said he would respect people's verdict otherwise. It is the interviewer who seems muddled up in his failed attempt to trick Prachanda into verbal mistatement; that was quite unnecessary to my thoughts and counter-productive regarding the seriousness of the whole interview for the peace of the country. Without the interview, needless to say (except to the interviewer), if Prachanda alone were given the driving seat, Nepal would be an autocratic communist country. That's where UML and Congress parties have factored in. Let me guess: Rabindra probably may not know how the interview was setup.. he seems to have a microphone and a headset, but the whole interview is probably setup by the RAW and the British Intelligensia. This should answer his question towards the end about Indian involvement.
