There is a piece on Nepal on the Washington Post on 7th of April. The web edition isn't out yet so I cannot post the URL. But do read it tomorrow on the washingtonpost.com. Some insightful comments (other less so)

I loved this paragraph:
"The Maoist revolution in Nepal may seem like an insignificant conflict in a faraway place. But it has something to teach us. Two billion of the world's people live in conditions roughly analogous to those of most Nepalese. Many of these people are also experiencing unbearable hardships at least partly associated with economic policies imported from the West. Western democracy's victory over communist totalitarianism was only a respite. Struggles still loom -- whether with communism, fundamentalism or ideologies that haven't yet been named. A democracy that goes to sleep on the job of ensuring the welfare of its people -- including its poorest citizens -- will breed strange monsters."

whatever happened to the so called trickle down effect. to most nepalis, it's been akaasko fall ankha tari maar.
if maoists are as popular in the hinterland as this report makes out to be, i don't think anything can stop them...not least the army guns...unless the government takes education, healthcare, food--in short, good governance--out there--and just relies on guns--i am afraid it can only exacerbate the situation.
