Nepe ji it's an oxymoron to say someone's optimism or paranoia in this anonymous forum doesn't make a difference. Specially when you have pointed out that you are optimistic towards maoist dictates. One persons denial may be another's optimistic proclamation. But word plays aside, when one looks at the fundamental quality of lives in Nepal, before and after the Maoists came in power, there are certainly more episodes of Maoists extortions in public and in living daylight than any party in power.
