kiddo and lalpari, you are right we need rule of law, but it's not working until the constituent assembly writes a new constitution. Besides, you saw what happened to the likes of kamal Thap and Shrish Shamsher bwansas or for that matter Khum Bdr Khadka. Unless people also start taking some action, the rule of law is not going to work. Let me explain. In your USA or wherever you are, people today talk about freedom, individual rights, democracy, accountability, right? How come? Because in the 60's blacks and women rose up against the racist patriarchal systems and broke those laws in the form of civil disobediance, etc. etc. protests, disobeying rules, etc... Today you can't say anything bad against blacks or women. In Nepal too, Bharat Keshar and gang are the people who are symbols of age-old feudal, casteist/racist, and patriarchal social structure that must be dismantled. Because constituent assembly and the like are taking time---and there is fear that the commision's report will meet the same fate as Mallik report of 2046/1990 movement, people need to be vigilant. Now on the specific issue, don't side step the main issue that is, why was Bharat Keshar and his sons beaten up? Bibas, did you read the whole news? He and his sons were beaten because they first beat up the motorcycle owner. Now if you are talking ABOUT RULE OF LAW, WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF BHARAT KESHAR AND HIS GANG? SHOULDN'T HE BE LIABLE FIRST? SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE CRITICIZED HIS RACIST/SUPREMACIST ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR FIRST? OR ARE YOU HIS NEPHEWS HERE ON SAJHA LAND? IF YOU HAVE A BASIC IDEA OF SCIENCE, U'LL UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A REACTION WHERE THERE IS AN ACTION. BARABARIC BHARAT KESHAR AND GANG INITIATED THE ACTION--MOB RULE IF YOU WILL--AND THE SHERPA MOTORCYCLIST HAPPENED TO GET SUPPORT FROM ONLOOKERS AND BYSTANDERS. WHILE I THINK IT WAS BAD, I SEE NO REASON WHY YOU WOULD RAISE FINGER AT THE SIMPLE PEOPLE--SHERPAS, ONLOOKERS, AND OTHER STUDENTS AND NOT BHARAT KESHARIS. IS IT BECAUSE THEY DESERVED TO BE BEATEN FOR NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN? bY YOUR ASSUMED--BUT NOT STATED LOGIC--THEY COMMAND LESS MORAL LATITUDE BECAUSE THEY ARE LESS WELL-KNOWN; THEY ARE NOT SINGHAS, SHAHAS, RANAS, MALLAS, ETC. AND YOU ARE NOT ASHAMED OF TALKING ABOUT RULE OF LAW? MAYBE IN YOUR NEXT POSTINGS, KIDDO AND LALPARI WILL TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE!!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!
