Prachada and his party do not believe in religion. They say they do not celebrate Dashain. Though Dashain is associated with Hindu religion, it has bee  more  like a Nepali culture than religion. Prachanda might have understood this fact after leaving his jungle station. And he wishes for the well being of Nepalese in this occasion. I was just wondering why he and his party still chants of cultural revoltuion. And I still can not understand why he did  receive blessings in Dashain from his father, but not the tika. Why should he wait for Dashain to get the blessings if he doesnot believe Dashain? Why should he meet his relatives and friends at his home in Dashain and convey blessings?

I am just confused if he is a communist or opportunist hypocrite.
