Sucharya wrote this bit of self-admission: "I think the group of REAL elite is yet to emerge in Kathmandu. Rather I think my economic interest is much closer to that of psudo-elites. And I admit that socio-economic restructuring along with further democratization of Nepali politics certainly hurts my economic interest, at least in the short run." So, Sucharya, that's your admission, right? Just because you yourself claim to being closer to the pseudo-elites (see above), that does NOT mean you have to see all others as reps of so-called pseudo-elites. Let's make that distinction clear. If Girija and Company take time to evolve, as you say, why not, as a matter of NEUTRAL kurakani, let the palace take its time to evolve too? If some people think that the palace is fixed in its ways, what's the harm in assuming that Girija et al too are fixed in their ways -- and, with both sides fixed and rigid, the only casualty is our collective future in Nepal. Sombody has to move -- to gain some strategic advantage. If the palace doesn't move, the parties have to move to make the palace and the janata react to their move so that the palace steps back and the janata move forward. Else, I, for one, sense that all this mindless palace-bashing has simply made all of us jaded, tired, irritated, ideological to the point of ineffectiveness and has taken our focus AWAY from the main task: Ask the parties to start reforming themselves to win the janata's heart and mind. oohi ashu
