Well said MadDogg: Ironically, your viewpoints are well thought-out and rational.... The truth is, Politicians in Nepal fight for power, to be in power and make the best use of the country's economy for their own benefit...Have you ever heard a Maoist talking about how to enhance hydro-projects (Mind you, Nepal has the world's 2nd largest water resources)...or how to build new highways.....All they spread is ..Oh, dalits are this dalits are that...why don't you do something about it, rather than kidnap them so you can force the "Dalit" teenagers to fight for your cause.....the cause which the country is clearly not benefitting from.....And, if they don't see things going their way, who cares, they have paid Gundas to destroy the country's remaining infrastrstructures.....What a day and age we live in......its sad to see that our politicians thing destroying the city and town they live in is ok to get their point across.....Some one had said in one of the thread, Nepal, one day will be more like Burma, Combodia or the likes....I do not doubt that seeing the current political developments......
