It was really nice reading your comment and analysis newuser without any swear words, a trend I wish ppl in sajha followed. Would you please reply to the following statement I am making. I bet your way of responding, even looking at the arguments I presented would have been different, had I even slightly shown my support for the Feb 1 move. Now that request being made, lets move on with the healthy discussion. Do you seriously believe psychological torture is not as traumatizing as much as physical attacks and so should be pardoned? And about ur comment, "although undemocratic"---wait a second, I thought they were all fighting for the undemocratic way the King has seized power to bring democracy. If they take up the tactics they believe and know are evil, it makes them worse than the King. "Gyani le gare danda dinu, mukha le gare maf garnu". Why do you want the campus chief to be in the position the taxi driver described. Either way they suffer. -------------" It's easy to comment but when you have to lead people for a revolution against dictatorship, you should be bold enough to scare those who oppose yourself." If you really believe in what you just said, I think you are a serious King supporter and admirer no matter how you think you hate him. " Do you think King Gyanendra will give up his dictatorial ambition when Gagan starts citing the lines of your political science book? You got to be pragmatic or else lets see what a political science student can do." ------Well I never made prediction about what King will do. All I said was Gagan has potential he just need to get some moral rights and wrongs in his activities and thoughts. Why would I want to trade one tyrant for another? And probably for a worse one who pretends to be democratic? I do not know why you extolling him so much? And where are you getting his resume from about what he did? " Students are pivotal to any political change and without students being involved there is no chance of retaining democracy in Nepal. I hope all the students wings, even the Maoists' join hand with each other to bring Gyanendra wthin a truly constitutional framework or else overthrow him. They should not listent to the stupid party leaders now. Instead of throwing stones and setting fire at public vehicles and buildings, I would advise them first to pull their corrupt leaders out of their home and shame them in public. " ---------No. Its people not students who are pivotal to any political change. I would plead, "Keep any and all form of political activity out of my school and my education. You are tampering with my rights to education by bringing in politics near my learning center. I wish I could sue all those political activist as human right violaters." hey Gagan and his followers in Nepal, why don't you first pull out Khum Bahadur and Govinda Raj Joshi from their hideouts? If you start from them, thousands of students will join your revolution and KG can be pulled out from his palace or he will flee away from behind. ---------------- If pulling out couple of corrupt politicians can influence people decision to rally in the streets. Newuser, Be Horrified!! Imagine how many students will follow the King because he is pulling out the corrupt politicians as well(even though could for his own benefits). La ta, if Gagan's friend or relative reads my comment, relay this to him. And yeh don't forget that I am behind you no matter if you had some flaws in the past. Testa ek dui flaws kasko hunna? --------ek dui flaw matrai haina tannai flaws haru huncha ni manche ma. Tara tyo correctable flaw ho ki incorrectable flaw ho bhanne matrai kura ho. The person who uses such inhumane tactics of getting people to submit to his ideas has potentials that he will use similar tactics, probably in larger scale, to maintain his position(could be idealogies, or power) if he ever gets one. I feel really sorry for Gagan Thapa that we are making him a background context of our discussion. Probably we should just have a political model with person A imitating all the stuff Gagan did to make it a bit impersonal and to clear our judgements from being clouded.
