Oriental gal, I have not supported Gagan as far as I am concerned.I have only supported the cause of freedom and dignity.So you cannot blame me on that.And to this point Gagan seems to endorse those values.I am against hero-worship culture which seem to have played role in this matter.Ideals and one's level of commitment for those ideals matter to me.I read wave's interview.And even asked gagan last week who took that int. and he said it was someone named abha(just a personal note :).He seemed nice and warm in person.He understands Nepal esp. outside KTM but is naive about the world affairs esp. the american arrogance which was sad to see. Since he was aware of outside valley he seem to be working on directing the maoists cause towards the mainstream politics like caste system and decentralization and for that matter he is quite about maoists at this point.As far as monarchy is concerned he seem to be on the side of majority at this point as monarchy has lost its credibility after feb 1 move. Does that answer your question?Let me know.
