@ Zim, I did not mean to say all but majority are certainly not educated. I understand how you are feeling now having participated that andolan. I participated 2046 with the same kind of spirit,  for me it  did not took me long to realize that these leaders are just puppets. Even during the 2046, I remember chandra shaker's speech in basantapur, how stupid were we to applaud him. Whether we opt panchayt or democracy should have been our choice, and political system of our country unfortunately have never been our choice. Perhaps, King Mahendra only was little successful, we got into UN thanks to him else we would have been another Sikkim.  Gyanendra did try, but India has become too powerful already, so he failed, not because he was tyrants but because he could not please india.  I know patriotism is  only about not anti-indianism, but pro-indianism is absolutely  not patriotism and nationlism. So my conclusion is also no different that yours. Just read on another thread how citizenship is being distributed now, we will see Mahendra Chaudhary of Fiji very soon in Nepal,  Baban Singh is already there..shhhhhhhhh.
