Ashu, good to know that u didnt like the mahendra mala education. My only point is the so called intellectuals in Nepal , by and large, were always supportive of the mahendra mala education. When I was in my junior classes, I read how great our kings were and what not. I wholeheartedly believed that. I was brainwashed. Even after the King relinquished some of his power and we had some limited form of democratic system after 1990, I still read Mahendra Mala. It was always there. I dont know if they have changed it now ( after last year's April uprising). Like many nepalis educated in Nepal, I was brainwaashed by this propoganda education. Only after I left nepal and had my further education abroad , I came to realize how flawed our education system is. The sad part is Panchayti education was there even after 1990. And there was little voice from the intellectuals on this regard. That is my only point. I am all agaisnt this Maoist type of education also. There is no fundamental differene between Mahendra mala and Maoist education. And when people do not say a word about Mahendra mala education and only rant about Maoist proposed education, I smell bad politics there.
