To Indisguise Thanks very much Indisguise ji for your calm and composed reply.Your comment is an ample proof of your commitments to democracy and rule of law. If there had been any ambiguity about this, they have been erased by your own statement now. Your expressions very much reflect my own judgement about Nepalese politics but you seem to be more frustrated by the politicians and at the same time more hopeful of the King than me. I also wished the King did better than the politicians and taught them a good lesson. But his performance in these three months have (in my view) signalled a future of draconian dicatorship in Nepal. So I have been more critical of the King. There are many sajhaites who are directly or indirectly related to politicians of the past and present. Most of them have seldom spoken against the King's move. If the King hands over power to the politicians they will be the first to line up seeking undeserved favour. I, just like you,can boast from my track record that I have never ever taken advantage of the political system in my life, never ever bribed even a rupee,never ever broken any rules regulations and never ever expect to take unfair advantage of the system. But I am one of those who have been explicitly vocal against the King, Maoists and political leaders just hoping that I can convince fellow countrymen that we, the educated Nepalese,could now explore our role to help correcting the messed up politics of our country. When we can find a common ground about how to make a real change collectively, we can make it happen. Thats what I am stressing for. It doesn't mean we should be leaders.I don't aspire to be a leader. My career, family background, everything doesn't help me even if I wanted to be a leader. My reckoning is if we don't oppose the wrong doings, if we don't support what we stand for, we cannot make any contribution to the country. If we support freedom of speech, we should be bold enough to criticize Gyanendra. Yes, peace comes first to civil rights. But the King's tactics do not help for the cause of peace. Better alternatives are there without curtailing the fundamental rights. Lengthy has gone this again.But let me emphasize one more time that I never questioned your rights about expressing your belief. I am just saying that, the Nepaliness in you requires you to be more positive in commitments and participation than being critical of every one. Many of us have almost similar feelings, why not we get together and discuss how we can collectively help for making politics a fair game in Nepal. Yes, we can't do every thing but can't we pressurize the politicians, King to correct themselves. 1) King Gyanendra will give up his autocratic ambition if we oppose him or if we stay quiet:What do you think? 2) Politicans (Gagan Thapa included) won't repeat their disgusting behaviours if we pressurize them not to do so or by keeping quiet: what do you think? Again, I must apologise for the length of this reply and thanks for clarifying your position :)
