oh c'mon now guys. what good will this eternal stretching of the discussion is gonna do to Nepal, if you are really so serious about your country? NADA. the election is over and for a record it's a success--fair and non-violent for the most part and that's how it is going to be written down in history. let's get over the fairness part. the election is over but the peace process is not. these coming few weeks are in fact more crucial than the pre-election or election phase. let' s be serious about it and let's get together all of us regardless of the differences in our political ideologies. the country was in fire-still is...they have gathered to put it off once and for all. let's support a good cause now shall we?

as i said earlier, this election couldn't have been fairer than this. few violences, sporadic fistfights and booth captures are inevitable in all form of elections in our part of the world (just check the history). what's more there were number of national and international vigilant groups in place to monitor the fairness of the process. people like former US president Jimmy Carter were passionately involved. their prestige were at great stake. and they had to give the right report to the national and international communities. some of these folks had monitored the election in Nicaragua while the war was waging there. they haven' t reported that the election has been rigged. so who are you guys from the comfort of your cozy office chairs and bedrooms to doubt on its fairness???

the winner or the combination of winners from this election is not gonna govern our nation in the future if they falter in their task which is to draft and finalize the constitution of new nepal. it's you (us) who have to make sure they are in track, that they don't derail from performing their duties. we are responsible citizens of the country and we are the most powerful force of Nepal. let's not forget that. let's not be too hard on maoists (or whoever the winner is gonna be-majority wise or largest partywise) long as they fit inside the periphery of multiparty democratic framework. they will impose autocratic communism only if we let them do so.

understand the gravity of the situation. there's no point in fighting. everyone can talk loudly. everyone can hit the keyboard in rage. what you talk is important and not the decibel that your vocal chord or keyboard can generate.

let's look at positives. there are many things that this CA will do good for our country. first it will put an end to the armed conflict. secondly it will put an end to autocracy and establish nepal as a republic and that will help to install lasting and strong democracy. most importantly, the marginalized groups will be given the right to participate in the decision making process for the first time. it will provide them an opportunity to play a greater role in the society. that's a lot considering where we are right now.

thought i would not dig into politics in sajha tara this is crucial time for our country. let it be known.
