Nepal Patrika by Kantipur Publications has a great cover story, that is worth reading. http://www.kantipuronline.com/Nepal/aabaran.php It talks about Dada Giri in Kathmandu, and how they control biz. It is the same trick that world famous YamaGumi, the underworld in Japan controls large biz houses and their shares. They just have veteran lawyers in their team, and use loop holes in laws, so that legally they are always pure. They help police to track down unYamagumi criminals involved in killing, rape, murders, and Police deliberately does not touch YamaGumi people, so that Police keeps getting help from them. Yamagumi never touches general public, and keeps away from media, and media also does not touch them because of possible repurcassion. At one point, it was reported that YamaGumi is leading the underworld in world market, and might overtake Mafia because of its fall in Italy's politics. Japanese have now enough money, that means YamGumi can become powerful because they also have indirect relation ship with politics. The similar kinda Gumi (=Groups) are emerging in nepal. Only difference is that there simply too many groups. Wow, Milan is xyz Sala of Pradeep Nepal? Tendi sherpa of Akhil at Ascol is another Don, and all these Dadas are related directly or indirectly to Politics, and that is why they are surviving. So many dadas are missing in large. Now, I am forced to ask a question: Prachanda, why don't you ask your YCL to catch these dadas and put them in Jail? I am just wondering why Kantipur does not mention a single word on YCL and its relation with these Dadas? Because both use force and get money. Nepali Times recently reported how these YCL members infilterated casinos, and hotels. My next question is what is the difference in working style of YCL and these Dadas. The only difference that I see is the wording: YCL call it "Donation", and these Don Dadas call it "Hafta", both take and work in the same way. One is supported by CPN-M, and these dadas supported by other political parties. My father while returning from a late night relative's marriage ceremony around last year, was punched on face by someone just infront of house he was about enter, and had to carry the scar for several weeks. When I asked why did not he report to Police, his answer was simple: What is the difference between Police, Gunda, and Politically affiliated youngsters! Kina Khatara Molne! Kina bekar ma "Mandule" hune hoina ra? How many like my father would love not to report? Wow! and oops! together. Don't miss the article. It is really a great piece. GP
