the title sounds a bit too ambitious and to some extent-- judgmental to me, but all in all-- a nice article! in my eyes, as of now, he is neither hero nor villain - - falls somewhere in between. the punch line i guess is: he's fought for the right cause ---way he did it, could be debated for eons. however, he does have potential to be revered or if that's too ambitious-- be respected at least, by many in the future, if he binds himself and his party within the norms of multiparty democracy and plays a major role in leading nepal to a peaceful, self-sufficient and prospering nation in economic front.
