microsoft jyu, you can call me Lootekukur--loote or kukur, i am proud of my nick. as long as i am fine, you don't need to feel ashamed. 1) What was the need to start the revolution when just after jana aandolan 2046 there had been revolutionary change in Nepal and the king was down and out and people had the power.How the hell can you say maoist raised arm against the king???? he was down and out,it was against the democracy of the people that u ididots raised ur arms and see now where u have left our country. i am afraid but i have to say that you keep a shallow knowledge about the development that have been taking place in nepal in the last few years. 1. you say 2046 a revolutionary change but i don't see it that way. pardon me for differing with you. the king was down and out--yes! but he was well capable of standing out and imposing tyranny that too remaining within the norms and periphery of the 2047 constitution.well, that's what we saw in feb 1st 2005, right? hello??? 2. yes we had great opportunity back then to go for CA and come up with more stout constitution that could cater the needs of normal nepali, deprived and oppressed ones. hell no. we came up with a rather weak constitution that was written within the periphery of palace by some of our so called leaders who failed to retort the king's message and dictation. matter of fact, they wrote what king said. what's the use of a constitution which not even leaders from all other parties could contribute in, let alone normal nepali like you and me? 3. maoists are the group of people who condemned this very act and asked for CA even then. they saw what could happen in the future if a constitution give the sovereign right to the freaking king. but no, their voice was sidelined by the so called pundits. result is what we have been seeing. 4. i urge you to read my entire post (last one) before tagging me as an idiot. you seem to have rather judgmental view about people who fought for justice. i can see who is more idiot here. 5. maoists revolution is not only against gyanendra. it's against the institution and the king as a person which despite of being in the most responsible position of the country for 250 years did not care to approach the social problem of nepal. if you don't see the problem of nepal in the form of social difference (disparity), then the problem is all yours. 6. as much as i support the cause for which this revolution is going on, i condemn the heinous acts that have been done in the meantime. i denounce murder of the innocents, looting of banks, personal properties as much as you do, perhaps even more. and i do blame maoists in that front. in fact NA is also equally responsible in this. if you don't see this, then again it's your problem not mine. as i said, lives get killed in a revolution and there are quite a many innocents that have suffered, i agree. but again, i think there are various other factors apart from maoists carelessness and inefficiency that are liable for this. people have personal grudge against each other that they tend to settle down behind the curtain of revolution. external factors can infiltrate as well. i am not saying maoists are pure in their acts. yes they have brutally murdered innocents. but you've got to see the bigger picture (the cause) for which the revolution is on rather than keeping a judgmental opoinion against them who dared to fight for the cause, which no other regime cared to address till date.
