Friends, We all know that the " is a very meaningful Indian proverb. Many people are seeing this proverb to be applicable to various change seeker groups in Nepal now: Some groups, in the name of getting away from the "communist rule", have lost their reformist identity/character and have shouldered with the regressive/feudal forces. Some other groups, in the name of giving non-traditional communist flavor, have ended up in teaching the traditional bourgeois lessons to people and their cadres and have functionally shouldered with the regressive/feudal forces, at least in principle(which inevitably ends in the practice too in due course of time, if not now). The result is the same in either case: neither they saved themselves as a characteristic group nor helped the needy people to come up, but a sheer promotion of the regression. The former is relatively in a shorter term and, the later, in relatively a longer term. How far are these observations right? Please share your views. *** Forwarded by Mr. S. Kattel***
