You say, "I don't know the answers. Hence, the questions." Ok, you donýt know the answer but I hope you do have an opinion? If you are seeking answers not from me but from Netas then why post it on the open forum. I would have preferred to read answers to your question from netas. You say, "I watched the Andolan from the sidelines, and could not really summon up the passion to dive right in -- especially when it was clear to me the Andolan was a conveniently self-serving prop for the netas. " You can say Andolon is self-serving, pretty much everything is self-serving in life, including your posting on this forum. You all educated men sit on sidelines and are quick to criticize the Netas and Andolan, but how long are you going to sit on the sideline and watch our country bleed. Itýs sad that education institutions in Nepal have failed to produce an able leader in politics.
