Its not Mr Rana saying all these but the sentiment expressed by him in that interview is reflective of the thinking of a lot of Kathmandu elites today. The best option, in my opinion, for Kathmandu's whining elites is to join the democratic bandwagon : if not out of conviction then out of elightened self-interest because if this movement results in the overthrow of the Monarchy and the King flees, there is no doubt whose houses and property these "semi-litterate villagers" will be after!
