John, I admire your style of writing and your choice of beautiful words. With all due respect, you are just one of those bystanders who expects some good changes in the society but lack motivation and confidence to be a part of that change. I don't know about other leaders/opportunists but I personally think Gagan Thapa can be a good leader for Nepal. If someone thinks he/she can contribute as a better leader, then they should come forward and prove themselves. Presenting ideas by writing books and novels is a different thing, being a leader who later becomes a part of nation's history is completely different thing.
