1. Resolving the Maoist crisis? 2. Empowering the people? 3. Building proper civil society? And finally, 4. Restoring democracy? ** 1. Resolving the maoist crisis through economic developmnet. it won't be an overnight thing, will take a long time, but it is possible. because, the maoist crisis is a class conflict, motivated by economic factors. 2. empowering the people through economic development. it won't happen overnight, will take a long time, AND it is possible. because, people are hungry, angry and poor. address their subsistence needs first, provide them food and education now.. in the long run, they will be educated and not come under the sway of any radical group. they will learn to question and once that happens, you won't see Girija and Makune reelected. 3. building proper civil scoiety, rule of law and less governance through economic development, and ONLY through economic developmnet, its possible. because, for economic development you need to have less state interfarance in people's lives. the state will have to come up with the necessary laws to ensure i. private investors' interests ii. independence of judiciary when the people are FREE of state's interfarance in their daily lives, when they are doing well economically, when there is a strong middle class, all those things you mentioned will emerge. 4. restoring democracy through economic developmnet, and IT IS ONLY possible through economic development. when you ahve a n educated, questioning mass which looks for its own interests, then you can have democracy.. if you think we can democratzie without feeding the hungry, educating the uneducated and pacifying the angry majority of the nation, i have nothing to say.. democracy, as you envision, in today's nepali context is "akash ko faal ankha tari maar" This is what I have bene saying all along... and to achieve all these aims, you need a strong governmnet, not popular or unpopular, democratic or authritarian, but a STRONG govt. that can provide stability which is needed for economic development. And the King can provide us with that kind of govt. at this time, hence my support for him.
