Hulaki-jyu,

Thank you for these wonderful and historical pictures.

This is a moment to congratulate Nepali people for showing and proving “yes, we can” to the whole world and particularly to those Nepalis who can’t think anything good about Nepal, always are cynical, who laughed at the people’s movement, who still do not own and care about the Constituent Assembly.

A significant section of Sajha community belongs to that category.

I do hope these pictures inspire all of us and restore our faith in Nepal and Nepalis.

The constituent Assembly has paid a huge price of Nepali’s blood and tears to become a reality and a vehicle of Nepali’s dream.

Many people might not know or might have forgotten that when the Maoists formally proposed Constituent Assembly and a commitment to lay down their arms and participate in it during the second round of the first talk between them and Nepal government in September 2001, the total casualty of the war was  just 1,800.

Can you imagine, Deuba, Koirala and MK Nepal rejected the proposal of Constituent Assembly and instead decided to launch a military operation against Maoist (of course after the talk broke and Maoist attacked a barrack) and we all know how many more Nepalis had to lose their lives, more than 12,000 !

If Deuba, Koirala Na MK Nepal had accepted the proposal of Constituent Assembly in September 2001, we could have saved more than 12,000 Nepalis killed since then.

Well, past is past. We can not undo it. However, we can build a saner and better future drawing lessons from the past mistakes and errors.

That’s exactly what we are doing and that’s what these pictures show.

So these are not ordinary pictures of an ordinary election. These are pictures of a moment of our national resolve for future.

Thank you, Hulaki bro for bringing them to us.

Nepe
