"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." -- John Stuart Mill I wonder how many of us can truly understand what Stuart Mill wanted to reveal. Honestly speaking, I couldn't grab much sense out of it. Moreover, here we are many individuals with many interests of our own, so why to bother about the depth of the sea? Hang on. There's something to contemplate on. Mankind is what the human beings are made up of. Mankind is the protector of all men, so even if only one person is silenced by mankind, this act of mankind cannot be justified.No matter the whole mankind is at one side and a single individual in the other , mankind let's the loner feel free to speak at his will. It doesn't force the individual to agree it's notion. On the contrary, an individual, if with all of his powers can silence mankind, that would be justifiable. Because, he is a person, not mankind. He doesn't have the sympathy, the greatness, the love , the perfection, the adornment for a human being as mankind has. So although he is an absolute minority, he can silence all others by his power. Because he has never realised the greatness of freedom and liberty for mankind, how could he let others exercise that when he doesn't know the greatness of freedom himself? So, he is justified to silence the rest except him with his unparalleled power. King Gyanendra's latest action are thus justified. I have no strength to debate with his supporters anymore. In the mean time, lets speak more about democracy. Here many of the political commentators have implied that the politicians after 2046 are the representatives of democracy. Democracy means some 13 years between 2046 and 2059 according to them. The politicians were corrupt meant democracy is corrupt and politicians failed meant democracy fails. As simple as that. Well , no more debate on this. Another point. with the help of power, an individual can silence the mankind and subsequently his actions are justifiable. Because he is just a man, a man with power. That power is his right to shut others mouth. He restricts others through power, through guns and finally silences every opposer no matter by carrying genocide and mass murder. So how to prevent genocide and mass murder of mankind? The answer is by checking the power of an individaul. Don't let any individual person to amass so much power that he ventures to carry genocide just to silence the mankind. ''The way to virtually eliminate genocide and mass murder appears to be through restricting and checking power. This means to foster democratic freedom. '' - Rudolph Rummel To oppose democratic freedom in some people's view(not everyones) is to foster genocide and mass murder. Hey where are the King's army and the Maobadi army? Both of you want to foster genocide to silence mankind? One of my friends. Rather a senior. He is a great scholar. holds more then three degrees in three different subjects from three universities of three continents. He was one of the few Nepalese intellects(I am not sure by citizenship or origin) who raised the debate of Republicanism in Nepal some time around two years ago. He said, 'now it's time for republic Nepal.' I couldn't understand what he was saying. I said to myself, oh well he may be right. He is such a learned man. At this time, situations have changed. I mean , can anybody dream of republicanism now? All of us can hardly dream about freedom of speech, republicanism is a far off cry. The irony is my learned friend knows that the best animal in the world is chameleon. He never studied science however but he is really best in practising practically the theory of Natural selection. I mean yeh. WHat republicanism? Even What democracy and freedom? Freedom is a hell. Republicanism is a non-sensical rant. We must support the King. Lets give him a chance. The King is great. He has power. And if he silences mankind, his actions are justified. Well my learned friend is in another world, a different world from Nepal. The King could not silence him when he campaigned for the republicanism rhetoric and the King don't have to silence him now because he is campaigning for tyranny in the best way he can. We dont need freedom my friend. The king is justifiable for silencing the Nepalese people. I mean politicians are continue their rant in one or the other way. They are criticising the King through foreign media and in foreign land. But the people are silent.As if there is tranquility all over.
