Even when the purpose of the talk is to disclose the fallacies of Maoist model ?


FYI, that’s what I’d be trying to. And that too, not through polemic, but through the presentation of well researched facts and logical analysis. And my presentation does not end in expose only, I have proposed a new alternative model.


And the model I proposed is such that it addresses everybody’s issues and agendas. It addresses Chitra Bahadur KC’s fear. It addresses ethnic federalist’s genuine grievances. It addresses Nepal’s priority (“it’s the economy, stupid”) and it is not imported from Switzerland, but founded on the real experience of Nepali grass root in self-governance and management over last two decades  (1989-2009).


What more do you need in return of spending just 15 minutes that too right across the room of your hotel in a Friday morning, when not much would be happening (the concert and all other fun events are in the evening ) ?


Please do join.


I do not know how much you know about federalism issue and how much you are satisfied and resolved about it. But people who still have unsettling questions about where we are heading to and with how much information, must attend my talk.


Sorry folks, for this unintended ad. ;-)
