यो स्वाँठले चाही नेपालीको living standard बढाईदिएको माओवादीले हो भन्ने बुझेछ, भयो अब ?

झन् उति माथि भन्दैछु, द्वन्दकालमा आम नेपाली जनताले माओवादी वा सरकारको पक्ष लिएर काटामार नगरेर बरु मुगलानमा गएर हुन्छ कि देशैमा हुन्छ कि आफ्ना दशनङ्ग्री खियाएर दुई पैसा कमाएका हुन् ।

द्वन्दमा जति पीडित भएपनि जनताले माओवादी वा सरकार कसैको पनि पक्ष नलिनु नै हाम्रो survival को रहस्य हो ।

Had the economic progress made during those periods been due to specific policies and programs of then governments, yes, we must be giving them credit and acknowledgement.

But I believe that was not the case.

The progress made during post 1990 era was mainly due to the self-motivated entrepreneurship of ordinary citizens inspired by general notion that democracy means more freedom, rule of law and nobody can steal your money (unlike in Panchayat when the notion was that anybody close to the palace can do anything to you and you can do nothing). The progress shown before 1990 is most likely false or due to flawed parameters. During Panchayat time, businesses were at the hands of handful of people and groups. Post 1990, more people and groups had access to it.

पञ्चायतकालमा हाम्रो गाउँका लोग्नेमान्छेहरु रातोदिन गाउँको चियापसलमा तास खेलेर बस्थे, अक्सर श्रीमति, दिदीबहिनीको गहना सहना बेचेर, अन्नपात चोरेर । प्रजातन्त्र आएपछि अचम्मै भयो । कोही काम खोज्न हिडे भने कोही सानोतिनो व्यवसाय गर्न थाले । यो रहस्यमय परिवर्तनको बारेमा म निकै घोत्लेको छु । र मेरो निर्क्योल उही मैले माथी भनेजस्तै आम मानिसमा ‘अब पहिलेको भन्दा राम्रो युग आयो’ भन्ने व्यक्त अव्यक्त बोध नै मानिसहरुमा देखा परेको उक्त नविन उद्यमशिलताको रहस्य हो भन्ने लाग्छ ।

I think so too. As I shared above, I have observed a sharp change in economic situation between pre and post 1990 time. That is not reflected in the graph shown.

Deep,

उज्यालो आसावादी दृष्टिको लागि मेरो मतैक्यता स्वीकार्नुहोस् । माओवादीको हकमा, तीनलाई विश्वास गरीहाल्ने दिन पनि आएको छैन, तिनीहरुसंग निराश भईसक्नुपर्ने दिन पनि आएको छैन । किन्तु नेपाली जनताको आफ्नै स्व:स्फुर्त, स्वयंअभिप्रेरित उद्यमशिलता, परिश्रमशिलता र सामुहिक बुद्धि भने प्रमाणित कुरा हो, त्यसमा हामी भर पर्न सक्छम् ।
