Salambambi said- '' have yet to hear from you about one question I asked you in the beginning. Do you think our lives have improved in the last 15 years? After all thats what we want in our life, dont we? I believe your simple answer of Yes or No will suffice that. '' If you read all the content of this thread from the beginning, you could have clearly understood that my answer was 'no' to your question. Let me repeat it- Do you think our lives have improved in the last 15 years? No , no at all. It has worsened. But. Mind you I have got a BUT along with my answer. I shall explain you why later on. 15 years before, there was no Maoists violence in the country. There was no political crime in this massive scale. There was no visible corruption, may be the invisible corruption was also less in extent. Nepal was quite peaceful. Sajha Bus, Himal cement, Bhrikuti Kagaj, Hetauda Kapada, Janakpur churot karkhana all were in profit. Nepal was greener, forest thicker then what it is today. In the last fifteen years, the public companies collapsed, violence prevailed, governments failed. But still, I strongly say that Gyanendra's Feb 1 move was a grave mistake. Still I say that the last 15 or 16 years were at least better then the earlier Panchayat regime. In my judgement those 15 years were a big leap towards democracy in Nepal. No matter how difficult situation the country had to face, those 15 years have shed light in the dark corriders of the Nepalese society. You will see the result of those 15 years within few years if not months to come. Just wait and see. Nepalese people have become far more conscious today. Nepalese people are far more intelligent today.And they will not tolerate suppression from the rulers for long. Why? and How? I will put forward my view later on. For the time being let me quote your own sentence to support my arguement- ''If King G cannot straighten things out, then may be it is time to say good bye to that system. '' to be contd.
