Birbhadra, the "autocratic" king did not kill peeps as mercilessly as these rebels did...As any govt, he being the one in charge fought back the rebels and obviously a few civilain casualties arose...But how da fug are you even gonna compare the King to the atrocities caused by the maobadis?  Extortions, bank-lootings, school-closures, threats to public officials, destruction of critical infrastructure, displacement of millions of rural folks, etc.  Get you head checked son.  Russia until 1917 was still a strongly religious Christian state.  What happended once the Commies took over?  What about China?  Same thing...What makes the Commies in Nepal any different from the other Reds?  They've killed tens of thousands and to kill a few more is peanuts, ain't it?  Don't rule out the fact for commies turning out as totalitarians...Who is gonna stop these azzholes?  Peeps wet their pants on the mere mention of their name.  THINK BEFORE YOUR POST, aight??
