Ashu, you give too much credit to King all the time. Even after doing all this, you don't find King to be a monstrous villain. If somebody had been a martyr in the movement from your family, you would have definitely thought differently about him. King didn't fled because he still thinks that he can rebounce and take over again. That's so simple. You mentioned he shut out local competition and I agree with that. There is no gambling here. How would he just forget about all the business that he ran with monopoly for all his life and go to Swiss alps? Even if he can afford it, he is not going to do it just because he wants to save his business and properties for his generations. However, what bothers me is you keep Moriatry's view in terms of Maoists. I agree with the fact that they are not trust worthy as a ruler but what's the solution to the crisis at this moment? Moriatry would bring US army to continue quash Maoists but the guriella warefare would have gone indefinitely that way. That's just a dictator policy.
