Newuser asked: "So Ashu dai, as a real/practical democrat that you are, you won't hesitate to 'raja/ rani ko khutta ma dhogna' in the same way as Shiva Shrestha did? Yes or No? Do me a favour by replying short and precisely to the point. " Thank you newuser bhai for your Bijay Kumar-like question. Let me repeat my position: I FULLY defend Shiva Shrestha's RIGHT to do as he pleases in front Royal Family members or in front of anyone else, with the assumption that Shiva and Shiva ALONE, bears responsibility for his actions and with the further assumption that he does what he does out of his own choices and NOT through force and coercion. I have NO reason to believe that Shiva did what he did through force or coercion. Likewise, as long as no one forces me to do this or that, and as long as I myself bear FULL responsibility for all my actions, I would retain my right to do as I please in front of anyone as per what is context-dependent and what's culture-specific. My job is NOT to please you, or please Nepe's or Anil Jung Shahi's political ideologies. There may be intersections among our thoughts, and there may NOT be -- and that's perfectly all right for that way DIVERSITY of opinions exists in a democracy. This Friday morning, for a cultural-exchange experience for instance, I went to a musque and kneeled down like everyone else there. My action was voluntary, unforced, context-dependent and culture-specific. Who's to judge it otherwise? One of democracy's basic tenets is that people have a right to pursue their own happiness (without harming others, without breaking the laws and without being subjected to force and coercion). Live and let live. oohi ashu
