In my humble view, it is the best article I have ever read towards solving the current Maoist problem in Nepal. It is well worth pondering how Thailand came to solving the growing insurgencies. The Thai experience will come in handy for our leaders if they are serious about solving the country's problems. I might also mention here that there are a lot of lessons to be learned for our King from the Thai monarch. When our three times Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba was about the cause of the Maoist problem, prompt came the reply from our incompent and competent Prime Minister, "..the cause is the Maoists themselves..." Yes, I believe the Maoists need to be removed. Their brutal killings of people will cannot be forgotten. At the same time, the government must act must responsibly. The brutal and cruel way of handling by the army is only going to prolong the Maoists movement. What happened to so many people who are now disappreared after the army and police arrested them? However, I also believe what the government should try to do is to remove the poverty, illiteracy, injustice and inequality. What the government should eradicate is the corruption. One does not need to go across the border with a huge entourage to find the solution. The true solution lies in the article of Phra Sugandha. Om shanti, shanti, shanti!!!
