Model 1: Girija Is To Be Blamed

The NC was in power more than most during the 90s, and Girija was Prime Minister more than most. But instead of consolidating the democracy, the Girijas of the world became the new establishment. Massive corruption was institutionalized. The aspiratinos of the Madhesis, the Janajatis, the Dalits, the women, the poor were not given proper channels. Things fall apart when the center can not hold.

Girija's inflexibility that served so well in his quest for democracy became his bane post-democracy. A party with a clear majority going for mid-term elections is ridiculous. Girija does not know how to save face: he only knows how to corner his opponents into desperation. He does not understand compromise and coalition building is the name of the game in a democratic framework.

Because the moderate center did not perform, the left and the right came in to fill the vacuum.

Model 2: King G Is To Be Blamed

The king gets neither democracy nor constitutional monarchy, or he would not talk of being a "constructive monarch." He has acted a mirror image of the Maoists in trying to fill the vacuum left by the political parties. That might be cunning, and possible in the murky waters of today, but it is not magananimous. The king patronizingly refers to the country as his family. That shows a lack of gut-feel for basic premises in democracy.

King G got Chand to almost double the royal budget. That is NC style brahmaloot many times over.

Model 3: Deuba Is To Be Blamed

Why get rid of the parliament, bro! In the first place....

Model 4: The Maoists Are To Be Blamed

Not even the Chinese are Maoists anymore. The haat bazar in a remote village in Nepal is the market economy in action. The ancient Buddhist republics were democracies in action. Those twins are the necessary engines for growth. Gorbachev knows more about communist theory than Prachanda or Baburam, and he has said the market is it.

The LTTE have been far more lethal than the Maoists can ever hope to be, militarily. And the LTTE were not able to take over Colombo even after 20 vicious years. So the military option is out.

It is laughable of the Maoists to think the king will willingly give over power. Not this king. If anything King G will want to expand his role.

The dictatorship of the proletariat is not about to happen. Instead it is a game of who will blink first, and the two extreme sides do not care if the commoners suffer in the interim.

Supermodel 1: Panchayat II

There is a very real possibility the king decides he has had enough of it, and he plain takes over. Which will be the final blow of the right to the rest of the political spectrum. But such a move will, by definition, engineer a massive backlash. And more than Maoists will rally behind an all-out call for a republic.

Supermodel 2: "Jana Sarkar"

That does not exist in the rural areas either. It is more statelessness, lawlessness. And the urban centers hold strong. It can not be imagined Kathmandu can be taken over by the Maoists.

Not going to happen.

Supermodel 3: Constituent Assembly

This is the only option for quickie peace. But one suspects those now in power will not go for it. Instead they will wait and wait and wait. For the Maoists to possibly tire out. In the mean time, the people be damned.

Iraq will soon have elections for such a thing. And they will do fine for it.

Let the people decide.

But such a move will have to be simultaneous a total disarming of the Maoists.

Supermodel 4: Inflexibility

That Giriaj disease pervades the entire political spectrum. Mero goru ko barhai takka. This more than anything else is holding progress back.

Nepe.

How do you insert Devnagari in here? I have seen others do it as well.

Yes. I have read your column. I guess you are a diehard republican.

If a republican state is so sure to come about, what do you think are the intermediate steps that will lead to it?

paramendra dai, nice analysis. ancient rome was a republic, modern day US is a republic. i seriously doubt if the maoists will ever bring that kind of republic to nepal. so i say maoist supporters should seriously refrain from misusing the term republic.

Paramendra,

What do you mean by "intermediate steps" ? I mean what should we say about the "intermediate steps" that led to the fall of the full fledged monarchy we call Panchayat ? Do you count the ३६ सालको जनमत संग्रह as an intermediate step for the fall of Panchayat or do you count the daily events/news of ४६ सालको जनआन्दोलन as those intermediate steps ?

intermediate भनेनि Final भनेनि, गणतन्त्र गणतन्त्रवादी जनआन्दोलनबाटै आउनेछ भन्ने कुरा बुझ्न त राजा र राजकुमारको अनुहार हेरे पुग्छ । भलादमी भनिएको वीरेन्द्रले त उसको घाँटी नसमाती अधिकार कटौती गर्न मान्नुभएन भने यो खुल्लेआम धुर्त ज्ञानेन्द्रको त के कुरा गराई भो र ?

क्रमश:

र यो गणतन्त्रवादी जनआन्दोलन ४६ सालको प्रजातन्त्रवादी जनआन्दोलन जस्तै राजनैतिक पार्टीहरुलाई पछि पारेर अगाडी बढेको जनउभारको रुपमा आउनेछ भन्नेमा मलाई शंका छैन । फरक कति भने यो जनउभारलाई आवश्यक ठाने आमहत्या वा त्यस्तै प्रकारको रक्तपातद्वारा दबाउने प्रयास गर्न राजाप्रति वफादार शाही सेना मानसिक रुपले तयार भैसकेको छ । अन्तिम समयतिर केही जर्साबहरुको घैंटोमा घाम लागेर उनीहरु आन्दोलनरत नागरिक समाजमा सामेल हुन पनि सक्छन् । तर सानो ठूलो रक्तपात हुने नै देख्छु म । जे भए पनि परिणामत: पार्टीबाहिरका वा पार्टीबाट विद्रोह गरेर संवैधानिक राजतन्त्रको लछुमन रेखा तोडेका केही नयाँ, ताजा नेताहरु र विभूतिहरु देखा पर्नेछन् । माओवादी पार्टी टुक्रिनेछ । नरम समुहले प्रजातन्त्रिक गणतन्त्रलाई अन्तिम क्रान्तिको रुपमा स्विकार्ने छ । गरम समुहले यसलाई तत्कालको लागि आलोचनात्मक समर्थन मात्र गर्ने भन्नेछ ।

पुग्यो कि अरु पनि दिम् "intermediate steps" को भविष्यवाणी ?

>माओवादी पार्टी टुक्रिनेछ
माओबादी पार्टी त मधिसे टाइगर बनेर पनि एउटा ढिक्का निस्किसक्यो। अरु पनि ढिक्का ढिक्कामा छ। छुट्टिन्छ। राई टाइगर, भो मगर टाइगर भो। यो जातिगत ढिक्का सबै फुट्न सजिलो छ।

तर नेपे जीले भन्या जस्तो २०० वर्ष पुरानो राजतन्त्रको जरो उखाल्न त्यती सजिलो पनि छैन।
र यो जरो उखालिनबाट जोगाउन ज्ञानेन्द्र शाहले जे पनि गर्न सक्छन्।
मरे पछि डुमै राजा भन्या जस्तो देशमा बिदेशी सेना भित्राउन पनि पछि नपर्लान्।
२०० वर्षसम्म बावु बाजेले राज्य गरेको ठाँउबाट जानु नै छ भने के मतलब नि।

अब सडकमा अहिले आन्दोलन गर्या जस्तो गर्ने ४ पार्टी पनि पदको लागि कराइराखेका मात्र हुन्। पद पाएदेखि अझैपनि उनीहरु राजा भक्त छन्।

त्यसैले नेपे जीले भन्या जस्तो Intermediate Stepआउनलाई यो युद्द अझै २० वर्ष लम्बिनुपर्छ।

तर आर्थिक स्थितीको कुरा यहाँ आएन। नेपालको गृह अर्थतन्त्र भन्या बिदेशी रेमिटेन्स हो ।
अहिलेका केही वर्ष यसले धानेको छ। आर्थिक स्थिती जर्जर भएपछि सत्ता ढल्छ। त्यसै ढल्छ।
अस्ति इण्डोनेसियामा देखिहाल्नु भो नि। त्यही मौका पारेर, East Timore स्वतन्त्र हुन सक्यो।
राजतन्त्र चल्न सक्छ तर त्यसपछि नेपालमा स्थिरता आउन सक्छ भन्न चाँही मुस्किल छ।
त्यसैले,
अब नेपाल गयो!

मेरो मनमा लाग्या २ कौडिको तर्क यसो थप्या मात्रै है।

दादागिरीजी, मैले माओवादीको सानातिना टुक्राहरु उप्कने कुरा गरेको हैन, ठूलो र दुई फब्ल्याटो हुने सैध्दान्तिक चिराईको कुरा गरेको हो । र मेरो विचारमा त्यो गणतान्त्रिक क्रान्तिको शिखरमा वा क्रान्ति पछि हुनेछ, अघि होईन । गणतन्त्र is the end of the Maoists. गणतन्त्र बाहेक अरु कुरालाई the end of the Maoists ठान्नु आफैले आफैलाई खुशि तुल्याउने काम मात्र हो, यथार्थको अवलोकन होईन । (Ashu को थ्रेडको प्रसंग जोडिदिएको क्या )

तपाई २० वर्ष भन्नुहुन्छ । म ५ वर्ष ठान्छु । यो अर्धशताव्धीमा जति छिटोछिटो र नसोचिएको राजनैतिक घटनाहरु कहिल्यै भएनन् ।

तपाई यो राजतन्त्रको जरालाई जमिनमाथि बाट मात्र हेरेर २०० वर्ष पुरानो भन्नुहुन्छ । मैले जमिन मुनि हेर्दा त यो २०० हप्ता (200 weeks) मात्र पुरानो पो देख्छु । ज्ञानेन्द्रले पाएको अपुताली कानूनी हिसापले २०० वर्ष पुरानो राजतन्त्र होला, तर जनभावनात्मक हिसापमा यो २०० हप्ता पुरानो अपुतालीतन्त्र मात्र हो ।

जहासम्म स्थिरताको कुरा छ, प्रजातन्त्र, by definition, एक अस्थिरतन्त्र नै हो । राष्ट्रिय विखण्डन, जातिय झडप आदिको सम्भावनाको कुरा गरेको हो भने वास्तवमा गणतन्त्रले त त्यसलाई अहिलेको आंशिक राजतन्त्रमा हुने सम्भावना भन्दा कता कता न्यून गर्नेछ, म त भन्छु शुन्यिकरण नै गर्नेछ ।

राजसंस्थाद्वारा प्रतिनिधित, प्रायोजित, संरक्षित, कृत, पालित क्षेत्री-बाहुन-हिन्दु-पहाडे-पुरुष प्रधानता-प्रभुता नै त हो यसको कारक-संभावक तत्व । गणतन्त्रले यस्तो जाती-क्षेत्र-धर्म-लिङ्ग विशेषको प्रभुतालाई त राजतन्त्रसंगै सती पो पठाईदिन्छ त ।

गणतन्त्रले पहिलो पटक नेपाललाई जातीय-क्षेत्रिय-धार्मिक-लैङ्गिक समानताको स्पष्ट, निर्विवाद र पूर्ण National resolve दिनेछ । यसले राजसंस्थाको संप्रभुत्वमा आधारित दास राष्ट्रियतालाई हटाई त्यसको ठाँउमा समान जनसंप्रभुत्वमा आधारित नागरिक राष्ट्रियतालाई स्थापना गर्नेछ । संक्षेपमा, गणतन्त्रले राष्ट्रियतालाई आजको युग अनुरुप र बलियो बनाउँछ भने आंशिक राजतन्त्रले धोबीको कुकुर । पूर्ण राजतन्त्रको लागि त नेपाल अब कहिल्यै तयार छैन, दुईचार जना साझावासीले तिनिहरुको टाउको पर्खालमा जतिसुकै ठोकेपनि ।

This discussion has veered towards the bigger picture and the possible long term, what with die-hard republicans like Nepe in the midst. What about the short term? What next?

परमेन्द्र,

आजका मिति देखि गणतान्त्रिक जनआन्दोलन हुने समयबिच के कस्ता दैनिक घटनाहरु घट्लान भनेर speculation गर्नमा बढी चाख देखिन्छ बन्धुको । यस्तो चाख हरेकमा हुनु सामान्यत: स्वाभाविक भएता पनि परमेन्द्र बन्धुले चाही कुनै खास प्रयोजनका निम्ति यी forecast हरु जान्न चाहेको जस्तो बुझिन्छ । के हो त्यो प्रयोजन, बन्धु ?

कुनै भरपर्दो forecast जान्न पाए आफ्नो दुनो, whatever that is, कतापट्टि लाग्दा बढी सोझिन्छ त्यतै लाग्ने कुनै चतुर आशय त होईन, परमेन्द्रको ?

होईन भने अहिलेको यस्तो ठूल्ठूलो मूल्यको समय (just look at the time, money and life and health our country is wasting everyday) भनेको गणतन्त्रलाई यथासम्भव छिटो सम्भव बनाउन ऐतिहासिक योगदान गर्ने समय हो कि forecast हेरेर झिङ्गेदाउ थाप्ने समय हो ?

म गणतन्त्रको [ स्वघोषित साईबर] योद्धाको हैसियतले परमेन्द्रलाई एउटा निजी र नैतिक प्रश्न गर्न चाहन्छु । गणतन्त्रको लागि तिमिले योगदान दिनु पर्दैन ? तिम्रो राष्ट्रिय कर्तव्यमा पर्दैन त्यो ?

कि मधेशी हकहितको लागि लड्ने मधेशी कर्तव्य प्रजातन्त्रको लागि लड्ने राष्ट्रिय कर्तव्यबाट पृथक र स्वतन्त्र छ ?

परमेन्द्रको अहिलेसम्मको चाला हेर्दा उनले त्यसलाई पृथक नै देखेको बुझ्छु म ? Correct me if I am wrong.

वास्तवमा मलाई यस विषयमा बहस गर्न धेरै पहिले देखि मन थियो । अस्ति हुँदो परमेन्द्रलाई उनको गणतन्त्र प्रतिको हल्काफुल्का र सदभावना प्रतिको परतान्त्रिक चिन्तन भनेर बहसको लागि provoke गर्न खोजेको हुँ मैले । तर उनि चिप्लिन रुचाईरहेका छन् ।

Now back to political forecast. राजनैतिक ज्योतिषि होईन म, दैनिक भविष्यवाणी गर्न । तर यति चाही भन्न सक्छु । चार पार्टीको आन्दोलनले तबसम्म प्राण र जनसमर्थन पाउने छैन जबसम्म यो गणतान्त्रिक आन्दोलन बन्दैन । र मैले यो कुरा psychic भएर भनेको होइन, गएका सालहरुमा गणतन्त्रको केवल शब्दोच्चारणले मात्तै पनि यसमा ल्याएको उत्साह, जनसहभागिता र चासोलाई हेरेर भनेको हो ।

र गणतान्त्रिक जनआन्दोलन नहुन्जेल राजाले अनेक तमाशा देखाईरहने छ र अगणतान्त्रिक पार्टी नेतृत्वहरुलाई राजाले उसको आफ्नै term मा खेलाईरहने छ । पार्टीहरुमा गणतान्त्रिक नेतृत्व वा कमसेकम चाप आएपछि मात्र गुणात्मक परिवर्तनहरु हुनेछन् । त्यो नहुन्जेल समाचार महत्वका झिनामसिना खेलहरु यी बाउन्ने models and supermodels हरुबीच देख्न पाउने छौं हामीहरु ले, त्यत्ति हो ।

नेपे जी, यसरी ठोकुवा गर्न र आशाबादी हुन त मलाई पनि मन थियो तर यी सब कुराहरु त्यती सामान्य कुरा हैनन्।
जातभात छुवाछुत भन्ने कुरा चन्द्र शमसेरको पालामै खत्तम हुनुपर्ने हैन र? परिबर्तन बेलाबकत हुन्छ र प्रयास गरेको पनि देखिन्छ। तर सफल नहुनुमा कारक तत्त्व राजा वा राजतन्त्र नै हो भन्नु अरुलाई दोष थुपार्न पल्केकाहरुले भन्ने कुरा हो जस्तो मलाई लाग्छ।
गाउव फर्क अभियान पनि राम्रो र उदार निति तियो कालि कुरा के भने नि कार्यान्वयान हुन सकेन। सैद्दान्तिक हिसाबले धेरै राम्रो कदम थियो।
शान्ति क्षेत्र प्रर्ताब पनि राम्रो कुरा थियो।
यिनिहरु असफल हुनुमा खालि राजतन्त्रको दोष हो भन्न नमिल्ला कि।

यी भनेका त आफ्नो धारभित्र अरुलाई लगम लगाएर सोझाउन का लागि प्रयोग गरिने आदर्स हैनन् र? यस्ता आद्र्सहरुसित अब नेपाली जनता जो कोही पनि परिचित भइसकेका छन्। Hypothetical कुराहरु ल्याएर जनमानसलाई गाँजाको नसामा झुलाउने र भोट माग्ने सस्तो लोकपृयताबाट सबै हच्किसकेको हुनुपर्छ। अझ यसलाई म नेपालीमा भन्ने हो भने मृगतृष्णा असर नै भन्दापनि अत्युक्ति होला जस्तो लाग्दैन।

नेपे जीका सबै उदगारहरु गहकिला र मार्िक छन् तर सबै कुरालाई जबर्जस्ती @सहज@ सम्झिएको आभाष हुन्छ।
खासगरी बामपन्ती अथवा दक्षिणपन्थि नेताहरुले आसाको खेती जनातामाथि छर्ने काम गर्छन् र यो केती जब आसामै सिमित हुन्छ अनि जनमानसमा उकुसमुकुस श्रृजना हुन्छ । जसको फलस्वरुप अरुप्रति आक्रोस् पोख्ने प्रबृत्तीको बिकास हुन्छ।
माथि उल्लेखित कुराहरु निस्कृय राजतन्त्रको उपस्थितीमा प्रजातन्त्रबाट सम्भव हुँदैन भनेर ठोकुवा गर्नुमा मैले नेपेजीको लेखमा खासै जरो फेला पार्न सकिन।
कतै प्रकृयागत कुरै नगरीकन कालि @निर्बिबाद हुन्छ@ मात्र भनेर उम्किन खोज्नु भएको त हैन।

God knows from where Nepe saw all this उत्साह, जनसहभागिता र चासो, but what I, as
a mere sidewalk darshak near my then office, saw in Kathmandu last spring were people who were so bored on many occasions that comedians such as Manoj Gajurel had to be brought in to perform their routines to entertain the agitating crowd in Ratna Park.

And there were students who were throwing rocks at innocent passers-by and vehicles for days on end from the kaushi of Tri Chandra College.

Sure, there were laathi charges, and dauda-daud, and massive pictures opf the crowd in the dailies in the the first few days.

But as photographer Usha Tiwari (no relative of mine!) and other amateur film-makers captured in their camcorders (these films were subsequently shown as 'shorts' in Kathmandu), for most people being a part of the julus was just a big, ramailo if confusing ramita.

No wonder the whole thing fizzled after a few weeks.

But don't take my word for it.

Even our fire-breathing friend Khagendra Sangraula -- who did everything to EXAGGERATE the effects of all those ramitas even when the realities were quite different at Ratna Park -- FINALLY, finally and at last appears to have reached similar conclusions, if his today's (Jan 12) Kantipur piece is anything to go by.

But Nepe, being Nepe, would refuse to believe any of it, of course. He has a simple formula, which is hypotenthical at best, but he talks as though it held the key to all of Nepal's problems.

Having said that, I now await a verbal tsunami from Nepe -- branding me as a pro-monarch person and much else besides :-)

oohi
ashu

OK, Ashu first. Before verbal tsunami, let me start with this.

It is me who has been telling that this political parties' socalled आन्दोलन has not yet become and will not become a real जनआन्दोलन until it goes for the गणतन्त्र. On political parties' part, it has remained a big farce most of the time.

However, I am talking about some rare and brief moments when the civil society of Kathmandu did came to the street to protest the शाही प्रतिगमन, when our brave youth shouted the slogan for the republic, when विघटित संसदको सडक अधिवेशन (प्रज्ञाप्रतिष्ठान) मा सदस्यहरुले सबभन्दा जोडले र लामो ताली गणतन्त्रको शब्द उच्चारण हुँदा लगाए ।

I have talked about these glorious and telling moments with Ashu Tiwari when they were happening and even before when गणतन्त्र को कुरा was just started to become visible.

It still gets to Ashu's nerve, when I quoted Ashu as almost saying in Al-sahafic way " There is no republican infedals in Kathmandu, Never. " Doesn't it Ashu ?

I have been watching this guy all along. I have seen how he used to dismiss the republicans, how he used to ridicule them, how he never commented positively on the participation of the members of the civil society (even when we talked about मन्जुश्री थापाको टाउको फुटेको घटना, this guy's cold attitude to the protest was so visible), how he gleefully reported about the शिथिलता of andolan after UML defected. Once he was even misquoting Hari Roka as giving suggestion to the political parties to give up the protest against the king because there was no public support for it. Ask Hari Roka, he was not doing what Ashu liked him to do. On the contrary, Hari Roka was suggesting the political parties to do andolan for agendas that excite people. Obviously Hari was for the voice of republicans. But Ashu so pathetically wished and in fact did propaganda that Hari was advocating for the surrender to the King. A poster recently saw Ashu Tiwari a royalist in roundabout way. Of course. It is so entertaining to see Ashu struggling to find vague words to support the King. बिचरा, भन्न पनि नसक्ने, नभन्न पनि नसक्ने ।

It is no difficult to know you Ashu. Keep serving whoever fits you. Your reactionary activities against the movement for republic Nepal is not going to stop it. We will have it. Guy like you will be left behind to be ridiculed by the history itself. On a second thought, I will be waiting with a garland to welcome you when in the democratic republic of Nepal you will come ङिच्च दाँत देखाउदै म पनि प्रजातन्त्रवादी नै हुँ भन्दै ।

Let me go find some flowers for you. Wallstreet को जागिर त्याग गरेर स्वदेशमा फर्कि राजतन्त्रको सेवा गर्ने देशभक्त तिवारीजीको सम्मानमा, कमसेकम ।
