Vishonatar ji: good morning It's nice to start my day arguing with you again. This is my two cents on how Maoist incorporated. Correct me if I am wrong: Around the time Prithvi Narayan united Nepal, General Nepalese had exhausted their energy supporting their various kings. Only the kings lived in modest luxury: have you seen the creepy gorkha palace, I'd bump my head everywhere. After that the shahs were useless, as always concentrating on making babies and marrying as many as they cud. I don't need to stress on 108 years of Rana regime. They cud have done much, since they had so much partnership with the British. But for them every other commoner became slave. Rebellious people germinated then. 108 years of suppression, people wanted real development when Tribhuwan took over. Mahendra tightened all possibilities screwing up with the Panchayat system, especially after the naxalites incident. But people cud educates themselves thanks to the schools. But when they got out of the schools there weren't much hope for anybody unless they wiped the asses of royalty and/or were relatives of royalties. Dr Baburam and his comrades were much more intelligent than to kiss ass their entire life. Also during Panchayat system, Mahendra allowed refugees from Tibet, Burma and Bhutan to live ...but hardly anyone cud sustain in the meager potato farms of the hills. Now people in Nepal multiplied: more mouths to feed than potatoes to grow. Any hope: a promise for good life for their generation became their major weakness. Birendra was quite liberal. He slowly led way for people to grow businesses. But that meant he has concentrating on people who already had money and/or brains, the rest of Nepal was doomed. Birendra totally ignored the weak people. They would have been his strenght...had he only appointed them with ...well if i were him i would have started an army for developing infrasture, giving them modest salaries. which he didn't. So leaders like Baburam who supported them in hard times became their only alternative. At this juncture...the frigging congress, who was mostly exiled during Mahendra's era, came back to Nepal for their own benefit: making it big. Making good money and they had enough which they spent on the 1100 people who died in democracy. They even managed to sell of parts of Nepal during their play in parliament and cultivated more wealth: their sole intention. They were worse than Mahendra and Birendra in ignoring the poor. The only people they cared were people who voted for them. Rebels burst out as maos..enough of false promises. The intensity of the how hard they were hit turned them into hardcore rebels. But I disagree with Gyane since I personally know him to be a money sucking parasite. Besides forced peace is mirror image to Rana regime, however subtle it may look, it is a dictatorship. We should solve our on problems. The king thinks by mass killing he would solve it in time, which is so wrong. Give him a nice and cozy palace for him and his family daneldhura: house arrest. There would be food, brand new clothes, accessory and MTV for his grandkids and peaceful life. Would he be happy in the fort of barbed wires? Then why the hell does he think we'll be happy?? The process of democracy in Nepal needs to be sustained. Freedom starts with responsibilities. Equality, Fraternity ...should not just be words. That?s our basic necessity. KG knows he needs people..even if it means just to ensure the crown for his generation...On that note I leave it onto people like you and me to take advantage of this opportunity to make the best of people. For the people, By the people and to the People. Since the king thinks he's god. I guess he can support himself. there are many roads to go from here. Women's rights and children exploitation are core matters that I seek to resolve among others in the
