http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2006/nov/nov29/news08.php If the countries were developed based on the gender, ethnicity and tribe of the people ruling the countries, African countries like Zambia, Zimbabawe, and Bangladesh should have been most developed, democratic, educated and economically advanced countries in the world and countries like USA should have fallen back. Zambia was never colonized and has always been ruled by the indigenous Africans but is suffering from civil war for last few decades. I don't have to explain about the democratic situation in Zimbabawe which was declared independent by British a long time ago and has been ruled by Black Africans resulting chaos and curroptions. Similarly, Bangladesh had continiously Women Prime Minister for last decade but still one of the most curropt countries in the world. In contrary, USA never had a black, Women president and has always been ruled by a white male american, still is the world most democratic, developed and educated country in the world. Mr. Prachanda, you have right to nominate any individuals representing your party in parliament from any race, ethnic back ground or gender because the forth coming parliament is going to be worse than "Rastriaya Panchayat" having no accountablity and people's representation as even "Rastriaya Panchayat" members had to go through an election process, how undemocratic it may be. I even wonder if this rhetoric of Mr. Prachanda about "indigenous community" is just to avoid public's negative opinion about the people they will select for parliament as they may lack in decent, educated people capable of understanding rule of governance and parliamentary democracy.
