I agree with you 100% ritthe_jasus. My parents are from village and most of my distant relatives are still in village which is not that far from kathmandu but they haven't seen day light yet. I mean most of them haven't seen motor vehicles. They have to spend 3-4 hours to get water from the river.Their life style is in terrible condition. Kids have to walk 3-4 hrs to go to public school. In my view it is not a school where 2 teachers teach everything and students have no table,no desk to sit. Kids sit on the ground and teacher sits on the chair. School contains only one small building with 2-3 rooms. Most of the students have to sit on the grounds for years and years. If there is rain, the school is closed. There is no hospital for the sick people. I can go on,.......... still somepeople belive that we were living wonderful life under king. It may apply to handful of people. Nepal is not just handful of people.Infact, king doesn't care nepali citizens at all. All he cares about is how to gain more power and keep the citizens as ignorant and illiterate as possible so that he can have one man show. No country and no people have rights to impose their religion towards others. Democracy is for all. Not just for the majorities and not just for minorities. Its for both rich and poor people. In full democracy majorities donot have right to impose their religion on minorities.If majorities have a power to impose their religion towards minorities, then it is not democracy. Then people don't know the meaning of democracy.Democracy means freedom of religion too. Every one should be free to practice whatever they believe. People of nepal have been suppressed for centuries and centuries so all the disagrements are finally coming out now. Just like every country takes time to flourish democracy, nepal will take time too. All we need is good, visionary,highly educated, exposed to the outerworld leader. King doesn't have these potential, maoist leaders are murderers with no vision and Girija doesn't have these qualities at all. We need new leader with fresh mind and the above mentioned qualities to lead nepal in new direction.
