We all support democracy. Who in their rightful mind does not support democracy? But, the current wave of democratic movements might be an unfortunate case of displaced loyalty. How? To begin with, when we Nepalese join hands in this fight for democracy, do we know what we're getting into or if this democracy is going to be the 'real' meaning of democracy that we are craving for? Basically what we are doing right now with all the demonstrations and strikes is forcing the current royal government to bow down and instill the politicians into power. What we are fighting for right now is not democracy. We are only fighting to put certain politicians into power of the government. Democracy begins with the government. It's the governments perogative to impart democracy. It is these politicians that we are fighting for who are supposed to give us democracy. I would not stand back one instance if our fight was for democracy, and if the immediate result of our fight was democracy. But in reality it is not. The immediate result of our fight - is getting a select group of politicians in power. That's all. What they do after they get into power is something that we have to think about. Are they really going to work towards making Nepal a democratic country? Do you actually believe that these politicians are going to make Nepal a democracy? I think a lot of people here need to ask that question. You need to be aware that these politicians are riding on the wave of your support for democracy. But when the time comes, ie. when they are in power, would they give a damn about the people who brought them to power, or will they abscond into oblivion after gobbling up all the money they can? Some hard core politicians inclined friends among us will start their name calling propaganda and brand me as a royalist. But the fact of the matter is they do not have a open mind to see reality as it is and they are happy to place their whole trust on these corrupt politicians to impart democracy someday. Talk about blind faith.
