"Nepal saw more development work during the 10 years of multi party democracy than during the 30 years of Panchayat. It worked, damnit!" My response: Nepal saw more violence and killings during 10 years of multi party democracy than during the 30 years of panchayat. It didn?t work. Damnit! Leaders getting accused of being power-hungry. Of wanting to become Prime Minister. Response: Heck, that is a good thing! It is a good thing Bill Gates wants to be rich. We all end up with Windows. It is a good thing Bill Clinton works over a lifetime to become president. Similary it is a good thing if Girija and Deuba and MaKuNe compete to become Prime Minister. The country benefits from the competition. My Response: Heck, this is really bad thing. It is bad because Girija earned more money than he could?ve imagined. Dhamija, Lauda scandals are to name a few. Can we come up with any leader who is not corrupt? The cacophony of democracy. Leaders supposedly fighting amongst themselves. Response: Democracy, by definition, is a cacophony. It is no symphony. It is through such dialectics that progress is made. Raging debates are a good thing. My response: I do agree that democracy is a synonymous of cacophony but fighting amongst each other just for "kurchy" not for Nepal is never acceptable.
