GP-jee,

 

I am not really coming to join this thread. Too much cheapness here. I have better things to do.

 

However, as you seem to have addressed me by calling “Our Veteran Sajha.com poster Mr. N***” and, like in the past, made a dumb and inaccurate categorization of my work as “offering .. Alochanattmak Support [to the Maoists]”, I thought to give a quick reply and be off.

 

First off, you should not have hesitated to write my full nick. As you know I always love to communicate when there is a genuine interest in having a decent conversation with me.

 

Then, as for your deduction that I offered this or that kind of support to the Maoists or any political party for that matter, it seems that either your world view still has not developed beyond this narrow binary of SUPPORT and OPPOSE or you simply are incapable of COMPREHENDING this otherwise a simple creature named Nepe.

 

At the risk of sounding arrogant, let me tell you in simple language what kind of person I actually am. Here is a simple quotation that might be helpful. I have paraphrased it to suite us.

 

Intelligent people see ideas.

Average people see events.

Small people see political parties.

 

I try to belong to the first category. However, you are looking at me from the eyes of the third category people. That’s why and how you fail to comprehend me.

 

Put it this way, how much do you think Narahari Acharya and Gagan Thapa are SUPPORTIVE of the Maoists ?

 

If you think they SUPPORT the Maoists, you are a dumb. They support certain IDEAS of the Maoists. That’s all. In my case, I even do not have to go as far as SUPPORTING per se. Because, unlike Narahari and Gagan, I am not a career politician and so, I do not have to take side as politicians have to. Got it ?

 

As for the idea of republicanism and inclusion/decentralization of power in Nepal, whether it came from the Maoists or just dropped from the sky, it has decisively won the war against all kinds and shades of opposition to it, including yours, GP-jee.

 

I was thinking you, or just any person/group opposed to the idea of republicanism, after being defeated/proven wrong, might have done what is called a soul-searching. Apparently, soul-searching is not for all.

 

It is too shameful to find that one wasted his precious time and energy against something which so quickly was to be embraced by Nepali people and remain that way, isn’t it ? But you know what, that [the shame] is for small people. Intelligent people search their soul, learn and move on.

 

Now, I would like to conclude this message by reminding where you erred about me. First, which I think I rightfully deserve, is a credit for being right all along, whether by a sheer chance or by my analytical prowess, about the idea of republicanism in Nepal, which you don’t seem comfortable to acknowledge. Then, you failed to see that Nepe and his free thoughts, independence and audacity to maintain truthfulness is beyond political party’s capacity to contain.

 

I was and still am above all political parties. And I probably will remain that way for some time to come.

 

Nepe
