Pilot, Your point would have been valid if Bhagat had FORCED you to listen to or read his rantings. His blog, if you wish, can be safely ignored. His emails, if you wish, can be safely deleted. So long as we do not live in a Bhagat-only world, what really is the problem, except, perhaps our own sense of annoyance/irritation/frustration/anger over his over-zealous defense of Madhesi causes? Just as Miss Nepals' wearing bikinis do NOT destroy Nepali cultures, Bhagat's pro-Madhesi postings -- no matter how radical -- too do NOT destroy Nepali unity. Let's have more faith in our collective strength. *** Of course, one may not like Bhagat personally for whatever reasons. That's fine. But just because one dislikes Bhagat (for whatever reasons), that does NOT mean that Bhagat needs to be silenced or boycotted or ostracized. Let him have his say. If you like what he says, fine. If not, fine too; argue back. But no need to call for boycotss, julus and all that tamasha. Tetti ho kura. As for Pire's unsolicited personal advice to Bhagat: "first be successful in his field, acadamic work or whatever it is that he is doing, and then lead his people to prosperity." My comment: Bhagat is a college graduate. He's smart. He's energetic. He's mature. I am sure he knows what he's doing and why. I'd leave it at that. Defending even "unsavory characters" such as Bhagat who have committed no crime MUST LIE at the heart of our democracy strengthening process. Anything else would simply be continuation of prejudices by another name. oohi ashu
