Very good point Hi_nanu! when i read about prachanda talking about ISI, i was just thinking to myself is he really that stupid?? i mean gimme a break, it was just as stupid if not more as king importing ammo from china and trying to play that card. i think prachanda really truly genuinely believes he has india played anyway he want but probably is completely ignorant to the possibility of him being played for india's cause. P.S. i wouldn't argue on if prachanda or girija or anyone else speaking hindi is acceptable or not because it depends on your perception. i for one think, if you are an official representative of a nation in an international arena you owe this much respect to everyone you are representing either by speaking in your national or international language. now my perception probably doesn't even apply to prachanda here or others in such scenario...so that's for another time. But those of you who watch free Nepal 1 tv's daily news broadcast has prachanda's footage of addressing the media in hindi for over 5 minutes (was kinda funny how Nepal 1 usually makes prachanda the No.1 headline news even before girija or any other news).
