Shiv, Thanks for writing. I do agree with your idea that any society will have at least two classes, if not more. But when these classes turn into opreeser and oppressed, then it becomes a problem. That is what happned in Nepal and the other thing that happened is that, like I mentioned in earlier thread, Prachanda and Baburam used it as their tool to get to their destination. We can talk for a week about the class system and not get over it. But the point here is that is what gave birth of Maoism in Nepal. What Maoists did is exaggerated their ideology of free land and this and that to bring those oppressed ones in their side. Now, I blame the SPA to flourish that gap in the last 12 years. I truly believe that their goal was to keep people uneducated so that they can keep doing what they did in that period of time. The evidence for this is that in their time, their goal was to send Nepalese youth to Middle East for work, rather than trying to generate employment in Nepal itself and there is a good reason for that. If the country has no youth, they won't have anybody voicing against them. I think we do agree on the fact that education is what is lacking in this so-called democracy in our society.
