Maoist Curriculum

It's a different thing to assume that Maoists will come to power in a few years time and it's a different thing to fear about their education policy before them coming to power. There is a group of Nepali intellects who have already decided god-knows-on-what-basis that maoists will unilaterally sieze power in a few years time. I find this optimism for maoism amongst the scaremongers even stronger than amongst the maoists themselves. And may be thats the reason why maoists sometime feel themselves stronger than what they really are. Me thinks that the fate of Nepali politics is defined and determined by the majority of the politically conscious Nepali population, which is always against the extreme rights and the extreme lefts. They have always handsomely resisted these extremes in the past and they will do the same in the future too. Grabing power and ruling the country single-handedly is not as easy as threatening, beating and extorting some people. Implementing communist curriculum is not as easy as publicizing their arcadian ideology . Maoists have themselves given up the hope for a communist state. If they were such a powerful force, they wouldn't have tolerated the massacre of their 30-around cadres in Gaur. They have learned tolerance in a year. Now as they will know how it feels to be a part of the government, they will understand what it takes to become a legitimate political force. For the moment let them enjoy the honeymoon. We better not run after the crow, when our ears are safely stiched by the sides of our head.
