Maverick,


 


Our literary humor department of is indeed rich. But here we are talking about performance art. So forgetting Bhairab Aryal must be forgiven, re kya.


And just to add to DWI’s earlier comment on Maha, I agree with his observation that Maha used to produce more quality political satire than they do now. Yet, I have never been able to make peace with my frustrating observation/reading that Maha and almost all section of Nepali intelligentsia and whatever civil society was there then worked with and served this faulty notion: King is good, Panche is bad !


So all the satire used to be directed at poor Panche, and never at the real power holder.


I know the limitation of freedom that was there then. But that should not have been the excuse for missing the bull’s eyes and targeting only the tail. It should have been quite the contrary.
