Dear Nepe Sir, I have had the pleasure of following many of your posting and counter arguments that were presented...for quiet some time. I must admit your thoughts are exceptional and your knowledge of Nepal's politics, very vast. Your arguments on CA being the way out is well justified (certainly that is what Maoist have demanded all along) and yes, I cannot agree with you more on that fact that it is not an option but a must for Nepal to move to a complete democracy. The real question is when, how and what form of democratic system? Sometime back you also made a strong argument that in the heart of the Maoist problem lies the institution of Monarchy. I have thought about it many a times, and I have failed to convince myself how an end to Monarchy is an end to the current problem. Certainly, I agree Monarchy is part of the problem but how is it a panacea? Many of us have been more than willing to stop once we label the Maoist as a bunch of terrorist (I have been as guilty in the past) but really shouldn't we also be asking why do they want CA in the first place? Is CA a means to their end or an end to their means? and most important of all WHO ARE THEY? If I am repeating what some of the folks have already asked or talked about...my apologies but I would appreciate if you could shine some light to some of these daunting questions that are making me lose sleep.
