I dont know if i should hate or like Prachanda based on the following reasons:
1) about 15000 people lost in a decade long violence. no matter whether they were killed by Maoist or the Army/police, they would not have died if there was no such civil war. With about 3 dependents per people killed on average, it hampers the life of almost 50,000 people directly.
2) Of those who found themselves alive, they were tortured and forced to leave their villages, their property, literally everything. they extorted money, land, property which they still possess and have never declared to release them.
3) The formation of YCL and supporting their 'terrorist' activities. Life would be much peaceful even if YCL stopped 'their regular duty' for a day.
4) The hunger for power. Prachanda claimed himself to be the first prez of Rep. Nepal. I remember Mahatma Gandhi, when he successfully ran the Swatantra Samgram in India, with much lesser people killed, that too in a country then ( about 30-40 times larger than Nepal) and that too against the Foreigners, the Britishers. I think, it would be much harder to defeat the foreigners than the government itself. and the life style he followed after he came to power. Frequent visits around the world, with family members on peoples' money.
they claimed their movement for the welfare of the people? what sort of movement is that when the sufferers are the people themselves.
i agree it was his movement that eradicated the 240 years old monarchy--- but if we, the Nepalese suffer more at present than we did during the monarchy, then we should question ourselves if our move (during janaandolan 2) was a sane decision??
There are many more points I decided not to mention, but based on the above points, should i decide to hate or like Prachanda. I decided not to like him.
Also please let me know the reasons why i should like him.
