This is amzing news about Nepal's amazing communists!
While in Nepal, they give fiery speeches against capitalism and American imperialism and urge the simple village people to kill others and order the students to close down schools.
At the same time, they send their own children to be educated in these very same capitalistic contries (like Baburam Bhattarai sending his daughter to England for education) and want their children married in the US!
During his visit to the US, I heard that Man Mohan Adhikari would introduce himself as 'leader of the opposition' and never reveal that he was the president of the United Marxist Leninist!
Or, did you guys hear about how UML leaders now take down all the photos of the communist leaders (Marx, Engels, Mao, Stalin) from their office in Balkhu each time the US ambassador visits them, and then put it back up when he leaves.
What kind of communism, what kind of ideology is this that you take off and on like a condom? For this reason, I doubt the Nepali commies will do anything positive for the country. The are simply charlatans!

I didnot get your ideas folks..
Ke comminust hudai ma US aauna nahune? Why on earth does the US president and other people visit Communist country like China???
If they are here for thier son/daughter's marriage, should that be their own personal issues, why so much big fuss about it???
Atleast Bamdev, Bidhya and/or Bhetwal will not be staying here for ever ( I hope so hai?).
Aani kina nachiane halla ni?? At least they are not here form the government's money ni, as most politicains do..

My the point here is:
Jagrit Bhetwal's son is in America. That's fine....He can go anywhere for his education as he sees best for him. However, why should Bamdev, Bhetwal and Bidhya all come to the US to get him married? Would not be it easy and cost effective if Mr. Bhetwal goes to Nepal and gets married? Where on earth those 'sarbahara' ka neta haru got that much money to visit US with all family only for the purpose of getting married?

Interestingly, Jagrit Bhetwal's son is a prominent personality on sajha.com
Any guesses?

Nevermind the ideological contradiction, but where do the janataka chora chori sarbahara netajis get all the money to come to US to have their children married? Is it the loot of the past 12 years?
In olden times, some brahmins used to take their brides and grooms to Beneras and Ayodhya to hold their marriage. It was little more costly, but it was supposed to be more auspicious.
Have the communist brahmins suddenly decide that it is even more auspicious to have these weddings in Umrika itself? The new swarga log.
By the way, is Bidhya Devi Bhandari visiting the US alone? I heard through the grapevine that she was dating K.P. Oli for some time now. The joke among the then seperated ML was that Madan Bhandari's death benefited two people:
Madhab Nepal got the chair
KP Oli got the wife

Maybe chora chori is paying for their trip, since they have been living and working in the US, they probably have the money. $10K is not much, especially to have the parents over for wedding. Kaso?

It's good for these communist leaders to visit the US. The more they know about the
US, visit around the US, see things there and meet people there, the LESS hostile they will become to things American and MORE informed they will become about thing American.
Sure, there are many things for which America should be rightly criticized.
But many of our communist netas' public criticisms of the US (and much of the Western world) remain naive, uninformed, exaggerated, false and laughably stuck in the fire-breathing Stalinist era of the 1950s and 1960s. And so, the only way to get rid of their ignorance is have them obtain more exposure and education regarding the US . . . and this visit may inform them more about the US.
My best wishes to the soon-to-be-married couple; and may they be able to influence their parents to think along the lines that competition-based market mechanisms deliver more goods and services to poor/garib Nepali people at cheaper prices than the central government's taking control of all or most means of production.
I hope they will take Bam Dev to a typical US supermarket and see how and at what price people there buy milk, bread, rice and other essential stuff (at a tiny fraction of one's salary), and have Bam Dev think how such a thing could be made possible in
Nepal too, with a few good policies.
*************
That said, a few months ago, noted Leftist writer Khagendra Sangraula published a scathing criticism of one of his old friends -- Rajav -- in Kantipur. Sangraula wrote that he could not understand why Rajav, a well-known and established Nepali story-writer and a die-hard Marxist to boot, would go settle in the US (in the Boston area) at the
age of 48 (?) on account of his winning a shot at getting a US greencard via that DV lottery.
Sangraula concluded that perhaps Rajav was never a Marxist to begin with, but a wolf
in sheep's clothing.
Then in a letter to editor, Bimal Nibha -- another Leftist writer -- hit back at Sangraula
by saying if America was that much of a Satan, and if a Nepali Marxist should not go
to the US then why did Sangraula himself send his son to study in the US?
Quite defensively, Sangraula hit back at Nibha, but his response the second time
around lacked the moral indignation with which his first anti-Rajav was charged.
***************
All said and done, whne it comes to social policies, Nepali Marxists are a confused lot. As a RK Laxman cartoon puts it about a neta: "Socalism for the masses; capitalism for myself."
That said, I just realized that amost every Marxist thinker I know in Nepal has a son
or a daughter in the US of A. Not that, as Jerry Seinfeld would say, there is anything
wrong with it.

Sending Nepali communist leaders to USA is equivalent to teaching law, moral and ethics to a smugglars son. Will, the son follow his father's biz? Of course, not. Thats why peoples in Nepal say that smugglars don't let their kids go to higher education. Similarly, I wonder whether UML will ban next time to all its cadres going to USA .... heheheh...
Communist leaders = poverty smugglars.
