Revolution for me would be for the betterment of the people and the country itself. What have we gained so far? Bloodshed, economic depression, poverty, hatred, division of the country, unstable condition and what not?" To me this is easily the biggest revolution, nepal has undergone/has been undergoing in its history. If you don't see it to be for the betterment of people and nepal, then either you have been blindfolded, or you failed to grasp the crux of the problem of nepal. You are not seeing the problem that nepal has been facing and because of which we've been iterally under desolation for centuries. -This revolution is for not only to oust the monarchy/king but to uproot the 250 years old insitution which is a major barricade for the equitable society and hence it has to be debacled. -This revolution is not meant to kill innocent people but to induce realisation among people of nepal (especially poors and deprived ones). The realisation of what they have been missing for centuries and why. The realisation that they've got to fight for justice. The realization that is supposed to act as a wake up call for the privileged ones of our society that it is darn easy to look down upon poor but it is freaking hard for poors to look up to the privileged ones of the society. Microsoft wrote " why are u so much like ur supreme leader?" I have my own idealogies and philosophies and that's what i have been living with till now. coincidentally when it comes to nepal, my philosophy and arguments tend to resonate with a person whose name happens to be prachanda. "You know brothers who ever are maoist supporters.I have been there in the villages,seen the pain of the villagers.Your leaders have done NOTHING for the poor people." i am a kathmanduite myself. i was born and brought up in ktm. But as a child and later as a teen and a youngster, i have visited very many places than most of you guys jabbring in this forum. i have been to cities like pokhara, birgunj, biratbnagar, dharan to relatively lesser accessible places like rolpa, baitadi, bajhang and so on. one of my closed relatives was in the then Royal Nepal Army and was killed by maoists in a clash in Tansen, Palpa. i don't claim to have seen nepalese all over nepal and felt their pulse beat, but i know what we are missing. i have seen dalits--not only dalits even uneducated people, being used by jamindars. i have seen them literally looted by the so called privileged samantis. i realised then (10 yrs back), what is our main problem--education! we need to impart free education to those places, let people stand on their feet, let them give a chance to respite from the samantis atrocities and mental torture. have you ever questioned yourself why this HUGE social difference in Nepal? have you ever thought of a solution? --until and unless we have this perception that poors/uneducated/dalits have to stoop in front of rich/educated/privilged class, nothing's gonna happen. until we realise as an individual that given a chance, we can stand on our own, not a tiny rat's ass change is gonna be possible in nepal. we talk big here. we are privileged class. we had the luxury. we got the opportunity and that made it possible to come to the world's best country in terms of literally everything. we say, nepal's development is not possible. but have you thought by yourself who is responsible for this? development, economic prosperity is not possible overnight, you've got to work hard for it. look at america. they made it as it stand today in 200 years. what were we doing in the last 250 freaking yrs, being ruled by the freaking king? development is not possible without you or me as an individual have thoughtful mind and stout physicality to work 40 or more hours a week. how many of us in nepal have the privilege to have a thougtful mind? how many of us are educated? education impartment is just one important thing. realisation of ethics, responsibility and love for the nation are as much important as education. the discrimination that we have in our society is not possible without having achieved both education and realisation. i would say the latter is even more importatnt for a just society. until and unless we don't have respect for each other be it bahun, chhetri, newar or any dalit our dream of a developed, peacful and propserous nepal is just a distant dream which is never gonna materalise. how much did monarchy contribute to address this problem of nepal? how much did the democratic parties care to take care of the crux of the problem of nepal? we rejuvenated in 2007 bs because we got the so called freedom from the ranas. what happened after that? was the social problem addressed? we again celebrated in 2046 bs. did we develop socially after that? the social revolution of one of a kind was ABSOLUTELY essential which in nepal came in the form of maoists revolution and it's a huge revolution as for nepal is concerned because it tend to address the crux of the problem of nepal. and people die in revolution. do you know how many innocents got killed in "jaaliyan waala bagh" incident during the fight for indian independence back in late forties? do you know how many people lost lives in french revolution? just because innocents nepali are being killed does not unjustify the bigger cause the maoists revolution itself is for. yes it is hurting. my owns have been killed. many nepalese women have been widowed. many children have lost fathers. but as long as the revolution is catering the basic need that we nepalese as a society were missing, all is well. lastly, let's gather some more patience and wait until NA is restructured and CA is announced. once maoists envision that they are all safe from NA and possible external intrusion, they should/would disarm. just have a thoughtful mind and a bit of more patience!!! LooTe .
