Okay may be we are reading the article based on our own prejudged mind, but i cant see anywehre in the article where they have talked about supression of article. Did they say that they will make that a rule to dress up like that for the whole country or is it just for ppl who are under Maoists payroll? I think it falls under maoists cadres freedom to be able to dress up like THIER beloved or leader. As long as they havent made any ordinary ppl to under Maoists dress code, why is it a supression of freedom. I think its funny for his cadres to follow the way he dresses and his hairstyle. but it doenst affect my freedom in any way and i wouldnt affect the cadre's freedome of selecting their leaders style. But i think cadres are copying prachanda as in we call it in a corporate world" dress to success". Many gandi followers wore dhoti, many mao followers dressed up like mao, Kennedy's fans dressed up like Kennedy style, some paris hilton wanna be nepali gurls want to dress up like paris hilton. I dont see a big deal wiht that. I think its funny how ppl want to dress up like their bosses regardless of what scenerio they are in.
