excerpt from above article:

''''In the elections held on April 10, the Maoists failed to get a clear majority in spite of 10 years of intimidation, murder, loot and terror. Government statistics show that Maoist violence claimed more than 15,000 lives, with Nepalese soldiers and policemen targets along with practising Hindus. It is no surprise at a time when secularism has come to mean 'hit the Hindus' that blind Maoist hatred against anything Hindu has not become a matter of inquiry or intellectual debate. Riding on the power of the gun, they seized control of half the Nepalese districts, murdered an inspector-general of police who had shown courage to take on them, banned Brahmins from having traditional tufts, stopped Sanskrit in schools and desecrated temples. Their 'revolutionary zeal' was never showered on any non-Hindu person or institution....

Of course from India... they don't understand Nepal from their cosy office...
