Indi ji, I saw your recent comment about Gagan Thapa. I was thinking to have a small conversation with you on that. But that for some other time and for a relaxed mood and of course only if you are interested. Here only about your sarcasm expressed to the Rally in above posting. Okay, let's forget the sarcasm. Let's assume the people who are going to attend May 15 Rally, including myself, deserve your sarcasm and you somehow have earned a moral right to be sarcastic to them. Take it. I will not question that. What I want to do here is to share my humble view about the vandalism our pro-democracy counterpart in Nepal, Gagan Thapa included- morally if not physically- did when the governments handpicked by His majesty the King were ruling. In my view, these vandalism, including those seen at times when "democratic" governments were ruling, simply were indicating the deficiency our "democracy" had. And these deficiencies were, 1. There were no peaceful democratic outlet for certain legitimate voices, and 2. there was no system in place or functioning for punishing the illegitimate activities. Either way, it was the defective system that was the culprit. So instead of laughing at these vandalism and other destructions, how about thinking how to fix our system so that it allows the legitimate voices and punish the unlawful activities. An endless, closed, exit-less cynicism does not help anything, sir/ma'am.
