Hark dude The social and economic context is not very different from the American Revolution. The ones who were born in the British colony of North America were certainly not happy at being totally excluded from the decision making process of their own birth place, in their social and economic fronts while some administrators from far away land (Britain) directed their political ecomonic and social future. When protested, the Patroits were dealt with force by the colonial regime. "Being taxed without representation" became the strongest reason for the Patriots to go for war with the colonial rule which naturally led to bigger ambition of independence from the colonial rule. When the Patroits went to war with the colonial regime naturally the Patroits did hate as much as they can towards the men and women who were still loyal to the colonial regime. The largest exodus of human population in the history of North America towards the 13 colonies of Canada itself is a testament to the fear and terror spread by the Patroits amongst Loyalists. The fleeing Loyalists wer so large in number that a seperate province had to be created in the upper Great Lakes region of Canada which after 1791 is known as Ontario. French language and the French-Canadians were no more the domanitaing people in Canadian colonies after the end of American revolution because the incomming refugees from the south of the border simply outnumbered the long settled French population in Canada. Since then English laws and English language became dominating factor in Canada which led to near seperation of French Canada from the rest of Canada 211 years later in 1995. Well, it might it a legacy of war of independence for the Patroits but at the same time it was a legacy of terror, fear and uncertainity for the Loyalists who had no choice but to flee to Canada between 1756-1784. Founding fathers of the United State were learned men yet they did not hesitate to use every sort of brutal tactics to win the war of independence. You should watch "Canada-A People's History" to see the other side of the story which is 17 episode 37 hour documentary produced by government owned CBC (Candian Broadcasting Corporation). I would suggest you watch parts 4 and 5 which covers that peroid in the timeline. These guys were at war and you are telling me that the war between the loyalists and Patroits was chivalrous....ha ha ha By the way, do you think average Maoist fighters and the local commanders on the ground gives any crap to Prachanda and Baburam's words. They used to care but now they no longer care what Bauram and Prchanda has to say because do you think Baburam and Prachanda know more than average Maoist fighters and their local commandrs about the exact realities in the battlefields. Local and regional Maoist commanders run war on their terms not on Baburam's or Prachanda's terms. The Maoist have replaced leaders at different level of command so many times in the past after their capture or death. They can well replace Prachanda and Baburam as well. After all the job of Prachanda and Baburam has now more or less limited to "spokesperson" and "coordinator" only. By the way, the doctrine of Maoist war in the Nepali context was unveiled not by Baburam or Prachada, it was rather unveiled by Mohan Vaidya (A.k.a Kiran) whom is currently in Indian custody for more than a year. Did that make any difference ?
