GUYS here is some of my views... Nepalese are ALWAYS UNITED before the 1990 but when the democracy came in 1990.. we start getting seperated since we have 2 different views.. mostly at that time... either we are right wings ( CONGRESS) or left wings( CPM UML) .. even tho there are people who is neither of them......I still remember one incident while visiting my old home in DHANKUTA ( i was born and raised in KTM), whenever i went to Dhankuta on my winter break, always go to neightbours house and play with their kids but after the 1990, only 7-8 families are divided on their political belief ( congress and communist).. i was sooo surprised and MAOIST took advantage (from that coz now we are divided in 2 parts LEFT WINGS n RIGHT WINGS) DIVIDE and RULE coz we are weaker now. at early 1997, when they went underground, that time PM was GP KOIRALA and his adivisor told him that, we can surpress the maoists... and at that time Government use the excessive force to surpress them, which makes negative impact on the people. Govt. forces start killing people on the name of MAOISTS and it will be easy for MAOISTS to get support from their immediate families and other thing is, just your friend is supporter of Maobadi doesnt mean you are maobadi too and Governtment forces start harrashing innocent ppl just becoz they have sympathi towards maobadi, how will you react without any reason, your brother is in jail and forces comes to your home everyday and start tourchering your parents, at this time if someone comes to you and give the sympathi, definately you will follow his path.. this is the another reason of increasing the MAOBADI. SALYAN, GORKHA, and other western parts of nepal ( where people are less educated then eastern part of nepal and living standard are little less) and they have to depend on their livelyhood on agriculture, has nothing to do in 6 months once they finished harvesting their crops. So MAOISTs start manipulating those people with beautiful SLOGANS...saying EVERYTHING WILL BE EQUALL in our system, , if you supports us, everythins will be equal and there is no rich or poor. So they start increasing their supporter from the remote areas. I did watch one documentary by ABC news channel in early 1998-1999... was taken on Sylan and Dang... the DSP was saying on the footage that: "Even there is a big chance to became a Maoists if he was born at that place" and using the excessive force... We all knows about our " DANTHE AND DHINDE MAMAS" their behaviour and their words...Maoists are now one of the biggest force just because of Nepalese Dirty POLITICS n POLITICIANS.... I think we all are responsible in this matter coz we bindly supports our NETAS and never questions them. and i remembered one interview of SURYA BDR THAPA after the 1990 " whether it is democracy or not, we are the people to lead this country" which became true. Now at this point, most of we, middle class people need PEACE in the country not "DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY" and we will support anything to restore peace in the country... NEVER ENDS PEACE AND LOVE
