DS: because his (MAKUNE) daughter got hefty amount in scholarship to study Medical Doctor in India. Same goes with other comrade leaders as well. It is true (based on my observation on other leaders too). Worst part in political leaders in Nepal is that they mistakenly had "kids", I guess this is what they would say if you allow them to say in private life. Nepal needed political leaders like KP Bhattarai, no Kids, then, they would have enjoyed with W(hisky).W(ife)., not the third W(ealth). When young they were working so hard, but, when their kids grown up and are about to go to College they found scarcity of third W. So, they could not wake up and see their kids face expecting father's ASWASAN regarding their higher education and finally, the father gives his life long achieved ADARSHA. Its the fact, you can realize only if you have kids. You can give whole world, whole Adarsha, but, you will fight until you have last drop of blood for the betterment of YOUR OWN KIDS, once your kids are grown up what you did are all validated, but, you don't use the same yard stick on others, then, you start preaching being honest when it comes others. Its human life. So, what? There should be some mechanism that gurantees the future life of poor political leaders who dedicated first (<40years old) for the benefit of country. We need something some good mechanism................. You realize even from our Maoist Baje haru : BRB and Prachanda both educating their kids abroad /outside the country? Why they don't want their kids to miss best education they deserve, while employing's others kids even below teenage ? Why this double standard? Its rule of nature, a male lion fights for safety of its own cubs (borned from its own POTHI lion) while kills others' cub. We need a mechanism. Do you really feel your own teenager kids or siblings wearing extraordinary clothes? I don't think you do so. You think its natural, but, when it comes to others, you denounce it or criticize it because you don't have that harmone available for others' kids. The peoples who are denouncing the beauty contests are either themselves ugly enough to contest the competition or don't have education to undestand the positive sides of BC, they only know -ve sides. Our responsibilities are to minimize -ve effects, but, in the name of minimizing -ve effects we should not be banning events out of society. We need monitoring groups, see what happened when Janet showed her breast in NBC last spring, the monitoring group came up with harsh rule and she will possibily never get access to live shows in descent TVs like NBC or CBS. We need monitoring groups created by Civil Society for the benefit of Civil Society. We stop expecting everything done by governments. We can have monitoring group and they can have website and publish new articles rating different groups and their events for public awareness. This is what I feel. GP
