वाह Pisces ji, well tried to defend yourself। वधाइ छ। आफूलाई पूरा सफाइ देर दोष जति अर्को माथि थोपरिदिने तपाईको चतु-याईंलाई सलाम छ। उहि महाराज ज्ञानेन्द्रको शैलिमा हैन त? As my username suggest, I am relatively new to this site. It was coincidental that The royal coup happened after I started browsing sajha. I never knew about this site before one of my friends suggested about the popularity of this amongst the Nepalese in here. It was like 3,4 weeks after I registered, that the King assumed direct rule and as a resolute opponent of dictatorship, I could hardly refrain myself from criticising his tyrannical moves. My opposition, if you have followed my comments from the beginning, were basically against communication blackouts, Press Censorship, freedom of movement, reinstatement of Panchayat type positions and institutions, detention of anti-monarchial politicians and idealogues (Narahari, Ramchandra, Gagan etc) and human rights activists while leaving corrupt lots like Khum Bahadur, Gachhadar, etc. for spree. Gyanendra could not cast his spell on me like on you from the very beginning, I sensed hallucinations in his fake commitments on democracy and therefore started criticising him. His actions thereafter have proven my predictions right. He is gradually stamping his autocracy in the country and various ammendments in Nepal acts and laws to toughen the current restrictions are in the drawing board. You like it or not, Gyanendra wants to rule Nepal in darkness not for 3 years but for decades, unless the circumstances and the people force him to stop. Since the coup, I am an active participant in sajha. But unlike you, I am not writing political opinions only. You have denied that you are a royalist, but there is a peculiar similarity between you and other critics of mine. That they all don't bother to comment on any threads except those in which monarchy is criticised. Could this be a mere coincidence? Good that you were an active participant before.Unfortunately, I haven't seen you posting anything like a descriptive article in sajha. No problem though, I knew from you now that you are a great analyst who prefer not to post his analyses and is happy to spill his venom against newuser and Nepe. Nepe? Why did you drag a third (irrelevant) person in this discussion man. This shows your frustrations. And it was this learned but calm and silent man called Pisces who said: 'Newuser, I am sure you ass has been for sure wiped by Paras or his father' In response to newuser's : 'The Times of India story may well be initiated by the Nepali Palace to create fear amongst the Nepalese that India would devour the nation if Monarchy is weakened. Politics everywhere, you can't ignore this possibility. ' I was simply putting a possibility, a 'may' thing. And you went like wiping the ass and stuffs. And again 'Netagiri' this time. This proves your fundamentals.How could you be sure abt. what happened to me huh? I am neither a Neta or a wannabe Neta or connected to Neta, you'd be surprised if you met me though. Just reading publications and writing in sajha instead of watching movies or sleeping in my free times. Now, let me explain you about the possibilities of the palace involved in Times of India story. First, you must know we are talking about politics, a dirty game. There are every possibilities in politics. It won't be surprising if it's proven one day that the present king was behind the Narayanhiti Massacre, that he is the one to help maoists gain momentum, or India behind everything. Politics is a drama and it unfolds in a matter of time. You must know the fact that our Royals have close relationship and alliance with various powers in India, the Raja/maharaja generations, with the FM Natwar Singh, and Hindu leaders. Both armies have 'good relationship'. Hence there are both direct and indirect/clandestine contacts between the palace and the Indian estabilishments/ hierarchy. Apart from the Indian civil society and Bureaucracy, there are many Indian elites who serve the interest of the Palace. They are very likely to provoke Nepalese population spreading rumours/ threats/hoax of Indian intervention if Monarchy is ousted in Nepal through media, thus safegurding the interest of the Palace. Coming to Times of India story. First, the story about Baburam meeting Indian communist leaders came from Gulfnews. After few days, it was published in an assertive manner in Times of India. The news report questioned about the dubiousness of Indian authority in dealing with the Maoists. Which was clearly in the interest of the Nepal's Palace prompting Sheetal Niwas to issue a statement against India in the aftermath. All other Indian media obliged to the intentions of Indian leaders to put these meetings clandestine. TOI didn't surprisingly. Again, it is TOI which published the Abheek Barman article. The article is quite provoking. It criticizes the King but indirectly serves the interest of him, by implying that India can be protectorate of Nepal after overthrowing the King. The message of the article is: If there is no King, India can run Nepal as a protectorate.Safeguarding the palace interest once again, creating fear amongst the Nepalese that without ROyals, Nepal loses it's sovereignty. Mind you, I am speaking abt. possibility. King's business dealings are very good with both Indian and Gulf businessmen. Barman works for the Economic bureau of TOI, Economic Times, to be precise and Gyanendra's business empire provides a good amount of advertisement to the Times Syndication Service TSS. The story of Baburam that was exposed by TOI clearly favours the King and so does the Barman article (in the Nepali perspective). Hence , you cannot dismiss the possibility that these recent publications In TOI might have came as a result of the royalist propoganda. Main stream publication in India are controlled by political hardliners, more rightists , and they have good relationship with the palace. Although the majority of the journalists and intellectuals in India are against the Kings move, the political elites affiliated to the Nepali monarchy also have a fair share in Indian media. And one more thing to tell you, it's not Only India trying to exploit the weakness of small neighbours, there are lots of examples China-Taiwan, Syria-Lebanon, Angola-Nigeria-Zimbabwe-Sudan-Congo (in West Africa), Turkey-Cyprus, Indonesia- East Timor etc. And most of the time those regimes that support the bigger neighbour's authority are in power. Don't ever think that our Monarchy is opposing/can oppose Indian hegemony.Against India's interest, it will fall apart in a matter of days. So I have explained everything to you now Piscesji. Kindly do not drag me for debate in the future by using derogatory remarks and personal allegations pls. I would appreciate if you knew what I meant.
