Archimedes once explained that if a foreign object exerts some force on the water, it in return puts an upwards pressure which makes the object lighter and able to float. Likewise Mr. Prachanda, the political-physicist of the modern Nepal revolted for a decade and applied force on the Nepalese society which was turned and turmoil. To overcome the pressure the society put an upward pressure, in the form of “Jana-Andolan II”. Unwanted water, the king was displaced out of the container. And Maoism once a foreign object is now freely floating. But are they hovering safely? Archimedes also explained that more flatten the surface of the object, more stable it is. Maoists had chances to flatten their surface, didn’t they? They got a couple of positions in the new portfolio, legalized a fraction of their firearms, and got ample of opportunities to freely express their philosophy. But did they capitalize? I recently heard that they are mobilizing half a million cadres for nationwide agitation. Is it possible to run a nation from the office and the road simultaneously? They have Armed Police Force to guard five of their ministers, and they wipe out the APF barracks. Is that politically reasonable? Mr. Prachanda, the supremo accused reactionary forces trying to kill diplomats and promised to fulfill the claim with evidence, which was never again heard about. Is a visionary leader not accountable for his public speeches? I once thought Maoists are not after political power, rather a revolutionary force that sweeps dust and cleans the slate. I thought they will behave once they come out of the jungle. All I see is breach of codes and conducts. No it’s not that, civil leaders are disciplined. But big changes need patience, isn’t it? Why are they so mesmerized in their muscle power? Is this power not piercing their surface? Hello! Archimedes principle does hold for uneven surfaces. Will they not sink?
