The mass movement in Nepal is stirring controversy and gaining notoriety around the globe. From the narrow streets of Kathmandu to the UN Plaza in New York City, Nepalis have not backed down from the cries for a Republic. Before critiquing about anything, I would like to say that the people have suffered and are still suffering and the desire for freedom and democracy is a genuine one. Whatever the King's agenda maybe, after an obscure announcement to grant power back to the people, I am not very sure if perpetuating the movement is going to solve the dilemma. I have been in touch back and forth with some of my folks in Nepal the last two weeks and they tell me that a lot of people who have joined the mass rallies don’t even know what a Republic means. Nepal is suffering from a classic case of "Group Think." People who don't have any jobs or were hanging out at the pubs and smoking pot in Nagarkot now have something to amuse themselves. Alas, in the end it is the people who will have to suffer. How long can the public continue to buy lemons for 40 rupees a piece? The International community is not going to support this. We should try to mitigate the situation and stop destroying lives and what remains of a shattered economy. It is nice to see the youth be so involved in attempting to shape the country's future, but, trying to get a job and working hard would be a better way of going about doing that. I am supportive of being more strategic rather than barbaric. I just hope that in the end this doesn't turn out to be a "full of sound and fury signify nothing” type of thing.
