Lau ma bicha ma futta aye hai, I am not big time analyst tara ni mero view, ..I do not agree Sparsh ji, do you think instant socio-economic changes can be brought about with ABACADABRA.. I think even maoists know, it can't be. Its thug-of-war between Government (lets say monarchy) and Maoist for mere power. Yes they are doing nothing but struggling for power. They are not desparate becoz they are concern about plight of Nepali people, neither they give f**k to deterioting socio-economical factors. Dude, they all are fishes of same pond, Maoist, Congress, Communist. As DC said, they are refering "socio-economic weaknesses" as legtimate cause to conduct guerrilla warfare . We witnessed the great democratic movement, thought then-underground-neta would bring some changes in social, economic and political sector -so what happened ever since? Hadn't these neta fought their ass-off for system change? So.! Hernus Sparsh ji, don't get in confusion - to me, maoist movements symbolize their frustration for not being able to form their totalitarian government. Aba hernus na, They were against King Birendra when he was in power. Right after he died they tried to be emphatetic to the public by claiming their informal alliance with former King on the ground of their views on national issues similar to that of king. No wonder, this sort of oxymoron statements are usually issued by them. Movement is well-planned game from both side, Government and Maoist and civilians are being targeted. Maoist have well able to influence people by carving image of a maoist as innocent peasant from very rural area who is willing to fight for his rights. Isn't that an illusion what we have..? Yes Maoist will come to the table if, only if constitution is revised again in their favor. If they are allowed to implicate their neo-Maoism in the country. Doesn't matter how hard government tried to improve socio-economic (which for sure government will not), maoist seek another cause to oppose unless power is not transfer. DC_Girl thanx for sharing knowledge.. I like yours...
