Gorkhali-X - Here's my thought and I thinkg Tanka Dhakal is not only Gorkhali in my defination but also arrogant slave dog:
I am sure you understand what I mean by ?Gorkhali & Gorkhaliness?. I have half a dozen articles on sajha.com about it already posted. I also call Maoists of Nepal the Gorkhali and they have not transcended the gorkhaliness from their blood stream and brain waves. If they were they could have more creative strategies to tackle the basic human problems of Nepal ? food, shelter, clothing and literacy.
You see Sir it is very easy to be tyrant bully and scare others to death but it is hard to be civilized as humanly as possible ? meaning respect the freedom and existence of others whoever they are either your brothers or sisters or fellow citizens or your subjects etc.
Gorkhali and gorkhaliness with its history attached is opposed to the existence of others and their freedom. Only after the dawn of the Gorkhali administration in the Himalayan land of Nepal the caste system divided society. If you look the history before Shah dynasty and Rana oligarchy in Lischivi and Malla period there were no caste systems. You see the migration of Brahamin with Shah and Rana from India during the Mugal period, especially Aurangajeva change the civil lives of the people of Himalayan foothills. The original and centuries old settlement of Mongol and Khash where converted into caste systems of (so called) Hindu (For Hindu word does not exits in Veda or other Vedic literatures but is the word given to the inhabitance of Sindhagati in Persian word, just like India given by the English).
The intrusion of the new migration of Brahamins and ruling class have created this difficult socio-economic situation in Nepal which modern and ancient thoughts like Existentialism, Socialism, Capitalism, Buddhism and some Vedic schools of thought like Samkhay and Vedanta opposes. Because the very structure and institutions of Gorkhali governance and gorkhaliness restricted for centuries the unprivileged humans (deprived Nepali ? mostly farmers, women and untouchables) from the opportunities to prosperous and literate. The whole world has seen this, OK. This is the fundamental crisis of Nepal that has put us to this present situation.
This gorkhaliness are hidden in 40 percent of Nepali mostly among the middle class to the privileged class and in majority are the MEN ? gender male. It is a male dominated society like of wild animal in the jungle but at this point and time out of forty percent hardly five percent have transcended themselves and these individuals are intellectuals, journalists, human rights advocates, social workers and politicians.
To be honest I saw these forty percent gorkhaliness after the king G?s Feb 1st 2005 move more aggressively up front. Otherwise, how a human who has transcended from this dark human behavior of gorkhaliness will support the move which suspended the fundamental rights of people, freedom of speech, violated the protections of human rights, journalism and peaceful demonstration against the move? How such a human can support such a move which stand for ?blood for the blood? and does not believe in the national consensus and understanding for negotiations? How a transformed human can support such a move which disregards the international community?s stand for the restoration of the multiparty system in Nepal? It is only Gorkhali who will sucpport such a move not a human who see the light and hope in process of Democracy and thoughtful practice of the fundamental rights of people.
Therefore the Feb 1 move of king G and his Gorkhalis have put Nepal in a very unrespectable and degradable political situation. My word to all Gorkhali who supported the move of king G consciously or unconsciously that a king who does not trust his fellow politicians, his fellow journalists, his fellow intellectuals to have national consensus to resolve the Maoists problems or poverty, illiteracy, inequality and question of the fundamental freedom of people or sovereignty of people (now it is owned by the Gorkhali institution of Monarchy) can not resolve this problem with the point of gun. Violent for violent is not the way of the human evolution ? it is a Gorkhali dark ages strategy and it will fail.
Maoists are in the first place are humans and secondarily Nepali citizen. Despite they are also being Gorkhali with the demand of Communist Republic we cannot deal with them with the gun. They are not the terrorist but the rebel that international communities have also accepted (United States have put them in the watch of terrorist list). But America also has insisted on political negotiations with the defense strategies to protect the institutions of Democracy ? multiparty democracy.
To king G, G?s Gorkhalis and Maoists ? how many of you kill each other for all of you are Nepali brothers and sisters? How many of your fellow citizens you want to kill or jail because they oppose your move ? both king G?s and the Maoists?
If king G is a brain not of Gorkhali but of a human then he has only choice in this modern time that he must work together with the politicians, journalists, intellectuals, human rights advocates and international communities to resolve our national problem ? ?Poverty, illiteracy, inequality and question of the fundamental freedom of people or sovereignty of people (now it is owned by the Gorkhali institution of Monarchy)?
To king G and Gorkhali:
1.Poverty can never be resolved by equal distribution of the property such as land, gold and cash. But by educating your fellow citizens for skilled human resources.
2.Inequality also can never be resolved by having all your citizens well off. But providing them opportunity to grow and develop with freedom and industries.
3.You can never justify illiteracy and if you do you are Gorkhali and you think you are only the supreme to be worshipped by your wife and children if not by your neighbor. Nepal could have done a lot during Rana and Panchayat period if the Gorkhali rulers have not prevented the education to their parjas. We could have been as far as India in terms of human resources and professionalism. What makes a country prosperous not your property and money but the skilful human resources and professionalism?
4.You must give up your grip over the sovereignty that you think you possess it and was earned by your grandfather king Prithivi. The sovereignty lies solely on people then and there when they have complete freedom or fundamental of rights to rule by themselves for themselves under the rule of law in a Democratic society. If you are not a Gorkhali then you must help and let us manage our own home like the democratic king Tribhuban and Birendra did with trust and love. But you cannot treat us in this twenty first century like your own father the dictator and tyrant king Mahendra and tyrants Ranas.
If you think all Nepali from different walks of life are your fellow citizens then embrace with trust and love all and have dialogue with them without hidden plots and politics and also be compassionate to bring the Maoists in the mainstream of Nepali politics- in the multiparty Democratic process, institutionalizations and governance. Then we can say you are the Democratic king that deserves respect.
