I totally agree with u about the US insult to the Nepalese people by not removing Maoists from terrorist group. And yes Nepalese people didn't give Maoists votes for what they did during the war, but for what they've promised to do after laying down the arms and that includes their commitment towards multi-party democracy. Let's hope things get better now and I think people have now got the idea of what lakhs of poor Nepalis in villages feel about the apathy shown by past leaders. Very good article, bibek!!

First of all, Prachanda is a Hindu. And it wouldn't matter even if he were a Christian. As I have stated in the post, Nepal has shown its democratic abilities and in a democracy religion doesn't stop you from winning the election, forming a party or becoming the President too, for that matter. It is for the people of Nepal to decide, and any prescription as to how Nepal's unique cultural diversity should be "preserved" from anyone (including India) is not tolerable. In fact, that is not a good thing to do. Second, if you would like to judge the performance of communists, you don't have to go very far: go to China. Kerela is one of the best states in India too, as many figures, surveys and reports have shown. West Bengal hasn't done bad either compared to some other states in India. The question here isn't about Communism however. Maoists in Nepal haven't been given the number of votes they have received to turn Nepal into an authoritarian communist state. They are under a democratic system, and in the next elections, they may very well loose, should the people want them too. Third, yes Shiv Shena and the VHP are fundamentalist forces. They are extremists in my eye. I don't subscribe to fundamentalism of any sort: communism, hinduism or whatever. I haven't said that all of those who support the King are extremists. I just wanted to say that some of his supporters are fundamentalists. Fourth, yes Maoists are very much accountable to what they did. I wish a "peace and reconciliation" commssion be formed in Nepal. But what is important is that one of the world's must fierce civil wars in recent years has come to an end. Besides, the rebels are now in the mainstream multiparty democratic system. This is a big achievement in itself. Had the war continued, thousands more would have died. Cheers ! Hi Senthil, thanks for your comments.

Hi,

If you would like to judge the performance of Maiosts, and communists in general, you could very well review the states westbengal and kerala under their control.

particularly, westbengal had lost their cultural greatness because of these communists.. any opposition would be quelled by force.. with absense of opposition, there will be only them ruling again..

Numerous killings, extortions, .. When maoist could accuse against king, are they not accountable for what they did.. Interestingly, you have branded those who support as conservatives or hindu extremists.. i feel, you have used very harsh words. You know, prachanda is a hard core christian.. and its certain that nepal will lose its cultural values very soon, if maoist come to power.. But, what about the atrocities of the maoists..

A voter had hopes and he voted for changes..not for ideology. So here we are... in this unique episode.. which was well analyzed and presented by Bibek.
