"moral fibre" 're? Aile ayera yo moral fibre ko kura kaha bata ayo? 1. When Prithvi Narayan discarded some of the ethnic groups like dead flies and created the infamous "char jaat.." and called them "...pakhurays...", where was the nation's moral fibre connected to? 2. When Jangay massacred in Kot, and established oligarchy, did we feel the moral fibre of the nation? 3. Singhadurbar was turned into a worst womanising venue for many for many decades, using women to serve "kopra" for urinating, did the nation's fibre still maintain the connection? 4. When thousands of soliders were offered to recruit as merceneries by the Ranas and still continuing, where was the moral fibre of the nation? 5. When several of the Nepalis demanding democracy were openly killed during the Panchayat regime and no one was punished for these crimes, where were the keepers of the nation's moral fibre? 6. When there was a merciless killing of innocent people in Doramba last year by the Maoists, and then by the Army and no was brought to the book later, what is there to talk about the moral fibre? 7. When many of the ethnic groups were deliberately kept out of the mainstream and hardly anyone enjoying the government priveldge spoke against it, where is the nation's heart and moral fibre? 8. When it is mostly the poor people who have suffered the most due to Maoists movement, while the riches are still enjoying their loot, what is the justification of allowing the Maoists to continue their movement? 9. When over 50,000 of our chelis are lured to the brothels in India against their will, where is the moral fibre question hanging? In fact, everyone's head should hang in shame. 10. Where the leaders or so called conscience keepers of the nation have looted the country in the last so many years, is the talk of the moral fibre relevant? I generally agree with the letter to the PM, but I am damn angry that the country is going to the hell and our leaders are not being held accountable. Nepalis killing Nepalis?? When will this stop? Lastly, even if the Maoists movement had not torn apart the country, at some point, an ethnic strife was inevitable from the way the government has not changed its way of functioning since the Rana regime and the Panchayat days. Too bad, our social scientists and historians are not upto the mark to predict it in time. Jhilka
