भउतेजी, हो, यो तीनै लुटिएका दुई फूलहरु (क्याप्टेन यज्ञ बहादुर थापा र भीम नारायण श्रेष्ठ) मध्येका एक फूलको कथा हो । साझाका एक पुराना मित्रले पनि तपाईले उल्लेख गर्नु भएको पुस्तक पढ्नु भएको रहेछ र वहाको प्रतिक्रिया पनि तपाईकै जस्तो छ, त्यति मर्मश्पर्शी बयान शायदै कुनै स्थापित लेखकले गर्न सक्ला भन्ने । कामरेड मैनालीले अहिले राजगोबर ज्युनार गरेपनि जब उनको त्यो पुरानो कृति भने अमर रहनेछ । पुस्तकका पाठक मित्रले माथिको लेखबारे एउटा कुराको सिलसिलामा लेख्नु भएको पंक्तिहरु म यहाँ उध्दरण गर्ने स्वतन्त्रता लिदैछु । To complement this account, I recommend an excellent book written by Radha Krishna Mainalai(current minister) in 2050s, Lutiekaa Dui Thungaa Phool. The book was printed 5000 copies, but must be out of the print by now, since it was sold quite rapidly then. The book shows Mainali at his best: he chronicles last moments of two martyrs, Captain Yagya Bahadur Thapa and Bhim Narayan Shrestha. The account is so heartbreaking, so touching that I doubt any reputed writer could have written any better. (Such is a life of Comrade Mainali!) There is this precedence, however, of Janakpur case of 2018 Magh. Four young men, Arabinda Thakur, Jogi Shah, Dal Singh Magar and Durgananda Jha (possibly some more) tried to kill king Mahendra by throwing a bomb at his vehicle. Mahendra survived, of course, but those people were captured. Particularly noteworthy is Durgananda Jha who became the first Brahmin to be sentenced to death in Nepal(Ranas, as we all know, didn't want to kill Brahmin). Saroj Koirala and Bharat Shamsher were said to have trained these people in Calcutta. Probably the most notorious of Panchayati Anchaladhises was Lila Raj Bishta. In 2030, as quite reliable rumor that is mentioned in a history book, Aajako Nepal, goes, he arranged for a release of a convict in a murder case from the jail. The person shot Saroj Koirala in Madhubani, Bihar in 2030 Kartik. 22-years old Durgananda Jha was hanged in a makeshift scaffold in Central Jail in 2020 Magh. His last words? "To have democracy in Nepal, the monarchy should be obliterated." Arabinda Thakur was released from jail, and I remember him working for weekly Janamancha after 2046. Visitors from Kathmandu probably know where he is. Jogi Shah is living life as an extremely poor person somewhere in Nepal. In a strange coincidence, at least for me, A Kantipur reporter found him in a protest after Ashoj 18, and published a story about him.It was a very sad story. __
