I liked the interview, Rabindra did a good job. Here are few of my thoughts on the interview 1. Prachanda will not settle for anything less than a communist state or a republic state or a state where Maoists army and RNA are combined, until he has control over it. 2. There is no middle ground even though he says he will accept the "people's version" after constituent assembly however he doubts it the result will be against him (and that is why he accepts it) 3. Prachanda will not settle for anything less you know why (million dollar question) because he is not allowed to. 4. When asked about Indian intelligence involvement he dodged the bullet and rather saying YES or NO he said we did not see that (..himele testo dekhanau). Bottom line is that Nepal is a play ground for the mf Indians for their vast economic and geographic interest and they are calling all the shots. More later.. -Shiv
