Maverick,
Heroes vs victims
Nobody has saved my head. Both the insurgent and the state’s forces have hit on my head hard instead.
Clearly, you and I are not tuned to each other here. That is why you are not getting me.
As I said, to me, there are no heroes in this war.
May be there are. But I don’t care about them at this point. The people I care at this point are the innocent civilian victims of both insurgent’s and the state’s abuses (people looted. tortured, killed or “disappeared†by them) who or whose loved ones are waiting for their property/dignity/life/whereabouts to be recovered/restored/known.
Your concern is for heroes. My concern is for the innocent victims. It’s like we are talking apples and oranges.
So let’s end this meaningless dialog. As for your concern that some “generalized data†might vilify certain heroes. I neither recognize those heroes, nor think they are more important than the victims of their heroism ! What more clear answer that this can I give you ?
Honeymoon
>Would you care to illustrate what do you mean by honeymoon period
>and how long it should be?
First 100 days of a new government. 3 months are enough to get the idea of where things are heading to.
>Seriously, you expect other parties to give "honeymoon" period?
I do. Because that’s a norm for how things move after every election, but mostly because Maoist have already floated their intention/desire/plan for every issue/question other parties are raising (PLA, YCL, confiscated properties, democracy and so on).
Nepaldemocracy google group
It is a recommendation based group. All you need is a member who knows and recommends you to the group. It has 249 members at the moment. So I would think there is a pretty good chance that at least one member might recognize and recommend you when you apply for the membership directly. So just send a message to the group with a small introductory note about yourself indicating your interest to join the group.

Hope to see you in the group soon.
