One example we are showing to the younger generation is “Ghandhism was a wrong philosophy.” Gone are the days where resolution through peaceful negotiation was the status quo. In land of 33 koti devtas and birth place of Buddha, Ghandhi philosophy is outdated. So whatever goes wrong, Bandh/violence is the only option. Our leaders have proved that unless you beat the crap out of civil society they will not talk to you. Unless you kill 13000 people they will not address poverty. They understand you are poor, don’t have citizenships and have no presence in government. But unless you shut down the country and kill 100+ people, they think your right is just one big bull crap. So my friend it is the only strategy that will work in getting something done. So ongoing strategy should be the followings: Want peace = Create violence Want basic human rights = Destroy basic human rights Want wealth = Destroy existing wealth You want to solve poverty = Create poverty & finally…. Want democracy = Bring Communist leaders I believe this will be the formula the current leaders is teaching me that I will be obliged to transfer to my siblings. I think in Nepal’s current equation. What’s not adding is the value provided by the leadership. Now imagine a scenario, if the PM had met the leaders yesterday, promising to review the situation and take actions, and Prachanda taking the responsibility for the wrong doing and punishing the Maoists involved. How would the situation have changed? Instead following Nepal-Style diplomacies take place: PM closes the door and tells the business leader. I am too tired from watching the Ghode Jatra, I need to rest. You wait outside my door while I take a nice nap. Some idiot from Maoist party, denounce their involvement. I am surprised they have not blamed the Crown Prince Paras for beating the crap out of “Chotta Hari Sau.” And by the evening our role model, the Supreme Allah Prachanda takes responsibility and promises to take actions. I am sure he is looking for another CD to supply with further evidences of their mis-conduct. If you ask him “khai CD”…..he will say “kholaleeeeee…… bagayo” I guess this is the capacity of our leaders. This is the art of diplomacy Nepal has to show to the rest of the world. I am so inspired by this new found approach that I am about to launch my own bandh campaign! From tomorrow I will stop going to work coz they aren’t payment me enough for busting my balls 9-9. J Nepal!
