I recently found a book written by one of the fighters of Nepal Communist Party Maoist. His writing was totally concerned upon depicting the whole ten years freedom war,through the experiences endured by him and his colleagues. In one hand, it is universal truth that these people are the basic power for the establishment of democratic republic but on the other hand, if they are not prioritized there is certainty of tragic violence.
These politically as well as physically trained people were more or less respected by the common Nepalese people.The discipline,courage,ideological foresight maintained them to flourish whole over Nepal within short duration of time,which can be termed as their success.But little importance is given to their origination and their original identity.Who were they?What was the cause of their origin?what made them reluctant with the ideology?What was their future dream ,etc are the questions that need to be dealt with.
Nepal Communist Party Maoist party formed after some leaders were unable to get effective stand for their agendas in the parliament.Ultimately,in 2052 B.S (1996) they raised gun against the so called feudal lords and the government.The first war was fought in Sindhuli district whose success germinated other big wars for ten years long time.Whatever political agendas might be,that is not my interest but I am shocked by the common fighters who left their families and became ready to sacrifice their life.
Mostly these people belonged to the groups who were facing the extreme poverty. The government administrative sign were rarely seen on those places,not to mention about the facilities and infrastructure they should provide as a citizen of a country. The government was totally centralized in capital and urban areas.The contrast was explicitly seen between the people living the life of 21st century and 16th century.This large gap is underestimated by the government.
Nepal became democratic country after people abolished Kings dictatorial rule in 2046B.S (1990). After this the irresponsibility shown by the revolutionary promoted as a base for the next revolution.The corruption reached at a great level. The bureaucrats became influenced by the political leaders.In country bureaucracy plays a vital role but the damage created by the political disturbance becomes irrecoverable.As a result, the bureaucracy totally became political playground.
The important part was the gap between rich and poor.The rich people who were in feudalistic model suppressed people in the name of caste and other traditional labor system that were prevalent from a long past.When someone tried to raise their voice,they were punished abusing the political power.Because these rich people were in the political mainstream.One tragic event we should understand in Nepalese context is that before 1990 today s UML was a powerful communist party.Like Maoist they got peoples support but after democracy they turned as the representing character of rich class.This can be considered a strong base as well.
The mentioned systems were the causes for revolution. Now new process of drafting constitution is in progress but relatively new disputes and misunderstandings have made it slow.In this case are these people ready to forget the cost of blood and remain in isolation.This question must be solved .
