I was stunned to see this pic
Text that goes with this pic: पेट्रोलियम मूल्यवृद्धिविरुद्ध राजधानीमा जारी पर््रदर्शन नियन्त्रणका क्रममा एक किशोरमाथि सोमबार निर्मम लाठी प्रहार गर्दै प्रहरी । अन्दाजी १२ देखि १४ वर्षा ती किशोरलाई प्रहरीले लगातार ६-७ चोटि लाठी हानेका थिए । त्यो क्रम बढिरहेकै बेला एक प्रहरी अधिकृतले छेक्दै उनलाई खुला मञ्चतिर भगाएका थिए ।

Whats up with the jokes and Swati these days? Hmmmmmmmmmm Joke mania? :p.. Good goin. It's a nice joke, heard it b4.

Someone in one of the threads was asking abt the jokes..if u check sajha humor section and just browse thru few websites, u would find atleast 75% of the same jokes over there. :)
************************************************************8

Regarding the pic, its a very sad situation Poor boy. He was at the wrong place , at the wrong time. I understand what neetaji and swati are stating, but having said that, i feel the police had to be more careful. After all it was just a 12 yrs old boy. He could have been a khatey, a homeless boy who ran awayf rom home, coz he cud not have enuff to eat, perhaps sauteni ama le nikaldine ( happens a lot, i have met more than coupla kids who left their home coz of it), or simply could not live in village coz of fear of maoist taking him away. Now, tell me how can he've a protection, guidance, love of parents for him to understand/or stay away from the chaos.

We see everyone from our own EYEs ( like one song goes, phool ko ankha le herda sansaar phool jastoo, kaada ko ankhaa le herda kaada jastai... something like that). Its too easy to ask questions, like "Where were his parents? what they were doing?" or stating "Look, the facts are very simple. 12 yr. old kids should not be in mass rallies, violent demostrations and riots in the first place. " But not every one are fortunate enough to have a caring/loving and protective parents like ours. And the fact that the kid was there doesn't give RIGHTS to beat him mercilessly ( just look how far the cop has taken his Danda, damn, one shot and it can break a bone or two), perhaps a lil push, or a shout, a slap, or even a kick... but not hitting with that big stick. For god's sake, he is just a KID.

Huna ta bhanne kura matra ho.. tara pani, bacha lai pitnu ta alik atti nai bhayo... baru alik adult chor Ja*Ha haru jo khali dhunga muda barsauna.. tention dinu aune lai chai diye huncha dana daan.

One more joke about Nepal Police.
-----------------------------------------

My cousin bro. is far more older(may be not less than 21 years older) than me currently working as one of the Deputy Inspector Generals (D.I.G.) in Nepal Police Force. He was D.S.P. when he was once posted in KTM so many years ago. He would visit us very often because my dad is very dear to him (my dad's "bhaatijo").

Though he was far more senior to me in age I often played tricks and made fun of him. One day I played some nasty tricks to him.

In anger he, yelled at and asked me, "where the heck is your brain? " ?
I answered to him, "At Police Headquarters, Naxxsal" In fact, it was a nasty and sarcastic way to tell any policemen that their brains always remain at the Police Headquarters therefore they are dumb blunt.

Sarbaprathm ta tyo bichara baccho lai ke thaha ke huncha julus ma bhanera, kun chahi le uksayo hola, ani hidyo ni. Taatha batha haru pahilyayi farar, ani yestai le kutai khane ta ho ni.

I see some comments like "he sudnt be there in the first place. where were his parents ? blah blah blah". Daju bhai tatha mahila mitra haru, ktm ma kati jana sadak baalbalika chan yeso bujhne prayas pani garu na yaar. America ma jasot sudhar griha haru kamai holan yaar ktm ma. Guardian nabhayera dherai tyasto bhayeka chan. Pls dont try to ignore this fact so shamelessly.

Aba humour ko kuro ayi ra rahicha. I once read this book produced by Nepal police about "how to pass police officer exam" or somehing like that. One question asked for definition of POLICE. And the readymade answe3r given in the book was:

P= polite
O= obidient
L= loving
blah blah blah


Yo bhanda thulo chutkila aru ke nai huna sakcha ra.

Good discussions! Photo Journalism is getting popular in Nepal and I think this is a classic shot! Poor guy hopefully he doesn't show up any more in any of the juluses and bandhs.

jai hoos, nepal ko.

Khas ke huncha bhane Ratnapark tira ka sadak balbalika haru lai 'la babu, 10 rupiya leu ra police lai din bhari dhunga hannu' bhanera party karyakarta haru le bhanchan. Ramrari din bhari dhunga hanis bhane beluka aru paisa dincham pani bhanchan. What can u expect from a homeless kid who can be bought?

Padhya lekhya hundainan , ke thik ke bethik thaha hundaina.......glue sunghyo, dustbin ma faleko bun khayo yesari bitauchan din.....ani julus ma gayo, pitai khayo , yestai ho yi bichara haru ko jindagi. Ali pragati garne haru pocket marne samma hunchan.....k bhanne kahi.......

Well, from the photograph, it is hard to tell if he a kid without parents or not, but it is really fuuny to know that you came upon a conclusion that this kid is infact a street kid with no parents or gardians. From your claim at least, it looks like you have got a "clairvoyant" type of mystical power by which you tell that the kid was a sadak balak....and it sounds ..really funny to me.

Anyway, it is the basic natural instict of any conscious human being (regardless of wether he is a sadak balak or not) to get as far away as possible from the trouble spot. Even if his parents (if they ever existed) were badly irresponsible, he has got brains that can decide where not be at the time of the brewing trouble.

Well, there could be many spectulations on why this kid was in the trouble spot and received some taato(hot) taato(hot) Police Ko Danda, in this case it appears as if he willfully headed for the disaster if not, he badly underestimated the potential of getting caught in the mess therefore "Curiousity Killed the Cat."

Police personal pani manchee nai ho..dungha mudaa garee ra jyaan nai jookhim ma paryaa belaa situation too tense hunchaa...tes bela ..keta na ket..buda paka na tanneri...sablai thook dinchaan...so the best thig is to stay clear of potential trouble spots.

By the way, as REVIVAL mentioned, this kid would probably never show up at bandas and julus in future. He must have learned the lesson of his life...ha ha ha ha ..

neta ji, my first response was aimed at remarks blaming the kid's parents. What if the kid was homeless and without proper education? And i hope u know the difference between conclusion and assumption ("kun chahi le uksayo hola"). Yesma yehalai lamba chauda byakhya garera samjhauna jaruri nahola. Hasnu nai cha bhane hasi rahanu hola.

"it is the basic natural instict of any conscious human being (regardless of wether he is a sadak balak or not) to get as far away as possible from the trouble spot"

go n tell that to a homeless kid. he may not listen to you and may want to do something extra to earn some money.

what more can u expect form an ill trained officer and an uneducated child....Raat ma nasha ma dubne prahari bata jyan jogaunu nai thulo kura ho...hope the boy learned the lesson...doesnt mean that our police force shud be filled with such officers who dont distinguish between a child n an adult.

Juguls_Bhoot

Well, even if I assume the kid was homeless (therefore no parentws to take care of him) and lets say he participated into the riot to make some extra money with the full acknowledgement (or at least expectation) that he might end up getting beaten up (or getting killed) then I dont see much reason to question the RIOT POLICE and put sympathy on the kid.

The kid did his job of throwing the rocks at the police and the RIOT POLICE did it's job of controling the violent crowd.

The RIOT POLICE, by the very name itself is meant to control violent and unruly crowd by using brute force. Violence, haste, dis-order is the indespensible part of their job then why should I expect any RIOT POLICE personnel to discriminate between the adult and kid in the situation of haste, violence and dis-order.

I guess the kid jumped into the hot frying pan despite the full knowledge that the fring pan is really hot. The kid got fried in the hot frying pan. RIOT POLICE is the frying pan in this case.

The kid is lucky...he did not get shot from point blank range...if any of the officers involved were enraged and blunt enough, they could have had shot him dead.

After all , in the height of the Maoist war it wouldnt be hard for the police to claim that the kid was a Maoist kid trying to infiltrate the demostration and cause some serious terrorist act. Maoist have recruited very young school going kids all over the country and it makes easier for the police to support their claim (even if it were true or not).

The police would close the file and no one do a thing about it.

Case solved....ha ha ha ...

"The kid did his job of throwing the rocks at the police and the RIOT POLICE did it's job of controling the violent crowd. "
---------------> The pic doesn't show that. He could have been stuck there. Wrong place at the wrong time. If not anything, give him the benefit of doubt.

"The RIOT POLICE, by the very name itself is meant to control violent and unruly crowd by using brute force. Violence, haste, dis-order is the indespensible part of their job then why should I expect any RIOT POLICE personnel to discriminate between the adult and kid in the situation of haste, violence and dis-order. "

-------------> Agreed, they should not be expected to DISCRIMINATE. I hope you use this word for some other better purpose as well.You seem to be settled in ur point of view and judgement. But think about it, what if the kid was ACTUALLY an innocent victim, just being at the wrong place. Would u not feel for him? Not even a lil bit? I bet u do, somewhere inside. Common we are humans afta all. Esp. coz the pic only shows a CHILD being/abt to be hit by a trained police with a huge stick. It could be FATAL as well. Lets us not close our eyes on the possibilities of fatalities caused by such beatings or perhaps some physical diability.

"I guess the kid jumped into the hot frying pan despite the full knowledge that the fring pan is really hot. The kid got fried in the hot frying pan. RIOT POLICE is the frying pan in this case. "

----------------------> Do u really think so? He had full knowledge of what he was getting into? Please consider the fact----> He barely seems to in his teens, if at all. Now we all know what sound a judgement we all make at that age. Are u not denying a child his right to, well... "to be a child", by simply giving him a benefit of doubt regarding his judgement. Commonnnnnnnnn... a kid at that age can not really make a REASONABLE judgement like an adult can.

I do agree about the pressure on police, the risk they take, the protection they have to give, with fully understanding there are some bad apples within them as well. But they risk their life and their families safety, for what? , a mere few thousand rupees. For most of the people living abord, it would amount to mere day's works pay, if not hrs. They deserve respect and we have to understand their situation as well. But in this specic situation, my friend, you got to give to that kid.

If anything, that picture captured a moment that took away a child in him, perhaps. Of all the beauties in life, don't u think a beautiful childhood is most that we miss most? I hope that kid is safe and does not have any permanent damage/ scars,both physically/mentally.

Not everything is bad in our country..atleast the police force realised the mistake n took necessary axn to the personnel concerned ..read news on the following link

http://www.kantipuronline.com/nepali/kolnews.php?&nid=29251

Now what abt our political parties n so called student wings of those parties...is this what their morals will ask for any protest...they r the one staying behind and escaping first ...thats why such small kids who knows nothing has to get the suffering.

"country..atleast the police force realised the mistake n took necessary axn to the personnel concerned .."

aafno ta font padhna milena, tyahi bhayera ke action liyo padhna payiyena. Tara tyo bicharo pulis lai aba ke action liye kunni, action naliye hune ho bhanchu ma ta.

neta ji,

For Heaven's Sake dude! he's a KID!! how can he differenciate between right and wrong ? and even if he is a parented child, he will obviously go throw rocks for some extra money.


I am just suprised at your reaction towards the roit police. How can you even support such a ruthless act, it was a act of cowardness, that kid is not even a boy yet!

and that picture is certainly worth a million dollar.

first of all... i second netaji..

second of all, our country is heading no where..



a 12 yrs ol' aint' a KID.. he is adult enuf to understand that.. playing with fire could burn you..


yb

I was very upset by the presence of 12 kid in the street in the first place where violence was brewing up. Even a kid can make a clear decision from a distance 'to be' or 'not to be' among the crowd that is BEING CHASED by police personnels.

We all know that kids gets scared away by violence far more easily than the adults do. (Kids get scared by the presence of policeman alone..dude..). His encounter with the police (in the photograph) has happened in such a tight space and time that it appears as if he neither made attemps to get away from the scene nor was he scared by the violent exchange of rocks and debris between the police and the protestors. Even a kid can see the violent exchange of rocks and debris from some distance.

No matter what the circumstances would be, I really dont like to see 12 kid because it makes the job of police personnels even more difficult. Kid is certainly a huge distraction and a hazard for policemen in this sort of circumstances.

Why should the attention and available resource of police personnels be diverted somewhere else instead of concentrating and fully deploying every available policemen to urgently disperse and control the violent crowd ?

Why should any police personnel risk his own life to spare the kid's amid the rain of DHUNGA and MUDA being fired upon him ?

Anyway the kid must have learned a great lesson of his life after receiving some taato(hot) tatoo(hot) POLICE KO DANDA.....Lets hope he doesnt show up for another encounter with RIOT POLICE.

पहिलो कुरा के भने नि, यो पत्रकारहरु र पत्रिकाहरुले पुलिसको मनोबल गिराउनमा खुब कस्सिएर लाग्छन्। बेरोजगार चोरहरु!

पत्रकार को हुन्छ?
बेरोजगार! जसले राम्रो काम पाउँदैन, नेता हुन पनि सक्दैन, अनि त्यो पत्रकारितातिर लाग्छ।
नेता र राजनितिक पार्टिबाट घुस लिएर पत्रकारिता गर्छ।

एक पटक यो ५ दलको आन्दोलनमा पुलिसले एउटा ३० बर्षजतिको मान्छेलाई समातेको फोटो आयो। ठिकै हो। तर बेलुका हेर्छु त नाकबाट रगत आएको बनाएछ यार!
Sorry I do not have the hard copy.
la*do kantipur na santipur.

धन्न यसपालि त्यो बच्चाको टाउकोमा रगत बनाएनछ। यो तस्विर चुनामीको जस्तो Fake हुन पनि सक्छ क्या।

I say this every year..on new years day of nepal

The year goes forward and my country goes backward every year!
