Suna, Somewhere there resonates my sad discovery that the democracy that American academia preaches and the one US government practices are not the same. So I believe I might be sharing a lot of your views. However, the issue here at hand is that of "inclusive democracy", a major transformation/revolution Nepal has embraced. And we were talking about a community demanding 2 seats from the total of 48 reserved essentially for the excluded communities. To me it is not about the seats. I am just happy to see all the minority, the excluded and the marginalized communities coming forward to claim their share, which to me conversely translate into their solid statement that they belong to Nepal. This is what a national unity is all about, don't you agree ? Nepe
