I respect the right to opinion and expression of these thapas, ranas, shahas, basnets, pandeys and other bhardars and bhardar's sakha santan. Of course, they will be able to express and publish if the current movement can institutionalize real democracy--unlike during the rana's and shaha's and ther cronies' terms. They should not be prosecuted for dissent or expression of such a point of view--again unlike during the regimes they supported, which executed draconian measures against people and free press. I would be the first one to stand for their rights if they were to be subjected to the same measure under any measure. Period. That's not the issue here, though. The issue here is not that of these people's rights. The issue is--when they claim to represent educated and professional Nepalis, can you expect them to have a clear idea of what they are doing (except intellectual bankrupcy and anxiety at the loss of their privileged position) if not some form of solution? (read my post above for just one example of their own confusion and contradiction). Second, do they owe some kind of honesty and fairness to the people they say have signed the petition? How fair is it to include people's names and change their degree or include people's names under false assurances and even include foreigners under Nepalis....?
