This time around, Rabindra did a good job- unlike during his interview with Baburam Bhattarai, in terms of professionalism, by not wasting precious time in emotional drag. As I have said elsewhere, I see Rabindra getting better and better. Still, however, he sometimes shows tendency that questions his maturity. For example, he made a lot of fuss about "medical reason" given by political leaders for their visit to India. A serious journalist should know that it was an excuse of convenience and nothing else. So it did not deserve anything more than a quick humorous note. But, to Rabindra, it was a great deal. His grilling on this sounded like a child's innocent grilling to parent's adult talk when he would not get it. There is one thing, I am particularly disappointed, this time, not with Rabindra, but with, I would say, BBC team of Nepal, particularly Shushil Sharma's, what I think is, a SHALLOW understanding of 12 points MoU. Shushil concluded, based purely on two mechanical observations ("loktantra=democracy" in the opening para and avoidance of using the term GANATANTRA), that the document is a declaration that the parties and the Maoists are ACCEPTING the monarchy. Rabindra also seemed to be picking Shushil Sharma's interpretation. However, the conclusive message of the MoU is quite different than what Shushil Sharma understood. The conclusive message of the MoU, regarding monarchy, is that the seven parties and the Maoists are REJECTING to ACCEPT monarchy except when the people of Nepal verifiably do so through Constituent Assembly. In other words, the fight for a democratic republic will CONTINUE and it will not be given up until the moment the people of Nepal give their verdict. Prachandra's talk and UML's massive rallies with a clear slogan of "Lokatantrik Ganatantra" verify this message. Besides, the ground reality of Nepal is that no party will politically survive a day's light if they declare that they have given up on the republic democracy. लोकतन्त्रिक गणतन्त्र त अब ढुङ्गाको अक्षर हो, कुनै चमत्कारले पनि यो मेटाउन सक्दैन ।
