Blaspheme, Because of the maoist activities 9000 died in 9 years. Is that scaring you ? My friend, statistically speaking that is not more than the number of the ppl that get killed in US. Just check, how many ppl get killed in US every year by shooting? How many ppl get killed in accident in US every year? Ok, forget about entire US check how many ppl get killed in car accident in your state? and what is the probability of you being in that unfortunate happeneing? What is the rate of killings in Dc, CA or in NY ? Ofcourse, nowadays, Nepal is not safer than good olden days but still the probability of getting caught in unfortunate situation is far less than in many US states. cheers, enjoy the life
