NepaliTimes.com is one of my most favorite website for views. I like Kundan Dixit. He is very honest journalist among the Nepali journalists who publishes articles regularly in Nepal. So, his translation is the best as I compare with what I heard in BBC Nepali Sewa on Nov. 24, 2007. If you are a Maoist supporter, you will certainly feel it a biased reporting, but it is the translation from Sajha Sawal's recorded interview. I am sure in a few days or weeks, BBC Nepali Sewa will release the recorded interview again.

Unfortunately, there was not a single question that could improve Maoist image in public. Based on the these questions, it is so humiliating that Prachanda did not have a single person in the audience to ask him a optimistic / positive question. All questions were associated with some sort of crime by Maoists or negative actions. Well, who asks positive questions? Newsweek in last week's issue had an article where its author wrote that positive news reporting is an Oxymoron's job.

i listened it today. I like prachanda's speech ability but its all crook. dont believe him.

Prachanda is such a stupid moron. Iwould have asked one simple question to him-
I am a US graduate  and want to come back to Nepal with my few friends to change the current system of Nepal that would ensure the full fledged democratic government for poor people of Nepal. I would like to establish a new political system which would praise the system of correction, gives hope of social tranquility, would provide education at its best level and raise the country as to the level at it was never imagined before. Do you think i can make all these things happen without any use of guns? If yes, then why did you guys introduced gun battle and still involved in that and if no, do you want another civil war in our country? If any reporter in Nepal get a chance to interview Prachanda please ask this question on behalf of all patriotic Nepalese.

Prachanda, Do you remember this picture? It will follow you for centuries ahead.

His bad apples will be his cause of death. Hope it comes soon.

See the double standard, they are turning the bad apples to Police, Why not CourtMarshall to them?????

Did I hear correct that maoist have submitted a court case against people who plotted Rautahat massacre that killed about 30 YCL members?

If so, then that is a good sign. They will find them behind bars in other 1000s of cases against their past sins which will be coming in the court soon.

I have no idea, why the Nepalese media is making him a hiro?

Prachanda = Pol Pot and Maoists = Khmer Rouge. We are going back to year Zero. Prachande le desh lai barbaad parne bhayo. Hamro desh ma ajha dherai manchhe marne bhayo.

I liked the following Cartoon very much. Prachanda needs to answer to this cartoon.

Prachanda is a hypocrite and you dont have to be an Einstein to see that.

What is the point of the interview when instead of giving explainations, Prachanda is just denying the accusations. Come on, everyone knows what's been going on man and he knows it too. He is just another "Kaan Chi-re-aako Jogi".

Yes, Prachanda is the big “FATAHA” and  cannot be trusted . Obviously he can’t go for CA election because wont win even 10 sit, if there will be fair election. So they are trying to create instability all the time. Only one thing they have is “DISTRUCTIVE MENTALITY”.

Hate those bastards

 

 

hang prachande!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GP-jee,

 

I am not really coming to join this thread. Too much cheapness here. I have better things to do.

 

However, as you seem to have addressed me by calling “Our Veteran Sajha.com poster Mr. N***” and, like in the past, made a dumb and inaccurate categorization of my work as “offering .. Alochanattmak Support [to the Maoists]”, I thought to give a quick reply and be off.

 

First off, you should not have hesitated to write my full nick. As you know I always love to communicate when there is a genuine interest in having a decent conversation with me.

 

Then, as for your deduction that I offered this or that kind of support to the Maoists or any political party for that matter, it seems that either your world view still has not developed beyond this narrow binary of SUPPORT and OPPOSE or you simply are incapable of COMPREHENDING this otherwise a simple creature named Nepe.

 

At the risk of sounding arrogant, let me tell you in simple language what kind of person I actually am. Here is a simple quotation that might be helpful. I have paraphrased it to suite us.

 

Intelligent people see ideas.

Average people see events.

Small people see political parties.

 

I try to belong to the first category. However, you are looking at me from the eyes of the third category people. That’s why and how you fail to comprehend me.

 

Put it this way, how much do you think Narahari Acharya and Gagan Thapa are SUPPORTIVE of the Maoists ?

 

If you think they SUPPORT the Maoists, you are a dumb. They support certain IDEAS of the Maoists. That’s all. In my case, I even do not have to go as far as SUPPORTING per se. Because, unlike Narahari and Gagan, I am not a career politician and so, I do not have to take side as politicians have to. Got it ?

 

As for the idea of republicanism and inclusion/decentralization of power in Nepal, whether it came from the Maoists or just dropped from the sky, it has decisively won the war against all kinds and shades of opposition to it, including yours, GP-jee.

 

I was thinking you, or just any person/group opposed to the idea of republicanism, after being defeated/proven wrong, might have done what is called a soul-searching. Apparently, soul-searching is not for all.

 

It is too shameful to find that one wasted his precious time and energy against something which so quickly was to be embraced by Nepali people and remain that way, isn’t it ? But you know what, that [the shame] is for small people. Intelligent people search their soul, learn and move on.

 

Now, I would like to conclude this message by reminding where you erred about me. First, which I think I rightfully deserve, is a credit for being right all along, whether by a sheer chance or by my analytical prowess, about the idea of republicanism in Nepal, which you don’t seem comfortable to acknowledge. Then, you failed to see that Nepe and his free thoughts, independence and audacity to maintain truthfulness is beyond political party’s capacity to contain.

 

I was and still am above all political parties. And I probably will remain that way for some time to come.

 

Nepe

 

 

Prachanda should be hanged for his crime against humanity. He is the villain of this decade worse than Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussien. I think other six parties are scared of him and his brutal army, that's why those bastards are able to roam free in the street. We should never approve him to be the leader of any legal constitutional party.  

Liked his straight forwardness...je hos manchhe chai fantoos fantoos nai ho.Bela bela ma hasayo

Nepe jyu,

Thank you very much for spending some time to add your vision in this thread. As always, I like your comments, sometime I do agree with you, and some other time, I may not agree with you.

I liked the following statements:

Intelligent people see ideas.

Average people see events.

Small people see political parties.

 

I remember the similar quote was in one of my classmate's room in college days in Nepal. The quote was like this (after google search: "Intelligent people talk ideas":)

 

Intelligent people talk about ideas.

Average people talk about things.

Small people talk about other people.

 

Sajha.com offers all three kind of people. I liked the tweak on second line from "things" to "events", I would merge these two statements, and come up with the following:

 

Intelligent people talk ideas.

Average people talk things and events.

Small people talk about other people.

 

As political "leaders" are public figures in Nepal's context, and you are a celebrity in Sajha.com, and  to some extent they are modern day celebrity because we are in the era where celebrity culture rules every walk of our life (at least in Capitalist world), so "celebrity" can be categorized as "events" or "things", and therefore, talking about celebrity is not becoming small people.  

 

Well, I certainly know that you fall under the category one. I am proud to have you here in this thread. Thank you, again.

 

GP

 

GP-jee,

 

Thank you for all the compliments you bestowed upon me. However, you still did not respond to my displeasure with your accusation /deduction/fantasy about me as a person politically associated with the Maoists.

 

Remember you have done so on scores of occasions in the past, mostly in your monolog threads.

 

Your rhetoric used to be so cheap, your arguments so childish and your address to me so hesitant (like in the earlier posting) and your paranoia about me so wild (remember you believe that I am a new incarnation of some Maobadi active in some usenet group of the past !), I chose mostly to ignore you.

 

Now that you still carry on that schizophrenia about me, I wanted to warn you for one last time.

 

So my message to you is simple. Stop your schizophrenia about me.

 

I was neither a Maoist nor a Maoist sympathizer. As I explained earlier I am not a guy who likes to associate with any political party (as yet, that is). I am a man of IDEA, not of a PARTY.

 

Alright ?

 

Nepe
