You said "And note that, for good or bad reason, to bring the voice against violent extortion into the boiling point, such elite common citizen must be a victim - a hard fact of nepal. Doesn't this make us shameful while talking about the concerns of a common citizen? " Common citizens are supposed to be protected by the government but we haven't seen that in the past and currently we are actually seeing the maoist who are part of the government extorting them. That is why a bigger and influencial group needs to take some initiative and it is good that the businessmen group are taking that initiative now - in opposition to wreckless endangerment of any budding democratic process by maoist brutality. Instead of shame, you have to be proud that at least finally someone is defying and pointing fingers at the maoist atrocities. In the past businessmen may have bribed officials to get things done, but it's more because of the failure of the government to create a good system.
