Well, we have made clear our views on this argument. Let me express my final words now. Your greivance was mainly at ''Ashus (plural) do not dare to explicitly support the King just to ensure that they won't be alienated from the democratic circle, if the change of political equations take place. But in their inner self, there is a ray of hope of favour and fortune from the palace. Either in the form of royal appointments or in some other ways. '' And I have made this judgement taking note of some first hand- clear cut- already expressed opinions/indications by concerned people themselves. Moreover, I have a list of royal appointees who have been undeservedly or deservedly placed and promoted to important public positions because of their unprecedented support to the King. I know I am not wrong to back my statements with hard evidences. While discussing Nepali politics, quoting definitions of books and theories and overlooking the ground realities is incomplete and incomprehensive. So I adhere to the above statement and REQUEST you not to take it personally as I have NOT included YOU in the above catagory. The succeeding discussions emerged only because you vehemently protested at my personal opinion. Like I have said somewhere before, lets not take any generalised accusations as personal. I respect your preference for privacy as much as I have for mine. Everything came up during hot discussion and there's no need to keep grudges on issues raised during heated debates. It's all over now. Thanks for your wishes and good luck to you as well. newuser.
