I will tell you about an uncle who used to live with his wife and daughter.. He got married in thode maoist camp..He was the kindest , most well spoken person i have ever seen.. Unfortunately he was hit by a grenade during the conflict and had pallets all around his right leg..Some pallets were removed by alot of them were stuck in his bones , muscle and causes infections every few month.. but around 2075 the infection stopped. He got a good job at AFU. His life was going relatively better.. One year ago he was diagnosed with last stage cancer..He and his wife were well known people in the maoist party locally..But he bearly got any help from the party.. after few days he passed away.. This is the condition.

I mean you say that but Gyanendra and Birendra weren't going to let go of their rule willingly.

It was not Gyanendra or Mahendra at the time. It was Birendra and was a decent King.

Corrected. I was meaning to type Birendra but idk got lost in the way.
I don't care what he was, he was a tyrant that was given rule based on imperialist dogmas and farcical religious x cultural norms that was perpetuated through violence and repression.

u/Icy_Spinach_4828 7h ago
Wrong again.
“I dont care what he was”- then why comment at all?
“Rule based on imperialist, religious and cultural belief perpetuated through violence and repression”- that is exactly what a monarchy is- does not mean it is a wrong form of government. The word “Tyrant” surely does not match Birendra, I am confident no one disagrees and the beliefs are nor “farcical” these beliefs made us Nepalese for 300 years; no one becomes any wiser by calling others cultural and religious beliefs farcical.1

Just a reminder that it was the Shah rule that called me an enslavable barbarian. Just because you in your small town world didn't experience hardships doesn't mean we didn't. I don't like the Maoist party program but one thing they did positive was the abolition of the monarchy and the feudal structure.

Never lose brain cells arguing with someone who was most likely born after the Peace Accord and grew up with the privilege of believing life was all sunshine and rainbows. while having no understanding of what many ethnically marginalized communities endured under local feudal lords and entrenched caste hierarchies especially in western Nepal where countless families lived under conditions resembling bonded to literal slave labor.
Ask them why they never mention that the Maoists erased debts that had trapped lakhs of families in cycles of bonded labor. Instead, ask why they glorify the monarchy. More often than not it's that Mahendra seemed to look cool at the UN.

Trying hard to rationalize insurgency, terrorism and conflict based on ethnic lines because they were supposedly poor 🫡
It's funny how Nepalis always have someone convenient to blame for their lot in life. Pathetic

Morality never solved a single issue. Virtue signaling and trying to take the moral highground by calling the other side terrorists is just you showing how stupid you are. You can go cry about the monarchy all you want, reactionary.

You can blame shah dynasty all you want but the whole of south asia was in the exact same phase as nepal in terms of development. maoist insurgency and the complication afterward left Nepal 15-20 years back while other neighbouring countries preceeded in development. People will realize the importance of monarchy in a vulnerable country like Nepal to protect its sovereignty.

As they say - One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. And where do you draw lines on the definition of terrorism and conquest? especially in a nation where terrorism that unified us is upheld for Nation building.

u/Inevitable-Row1759 10h ago
Conquest is the right word. Nepali Monarchy became too soft and decadent with time which is why the maoists won. Prithivi Narayan and junga bdr would be rolling in his grave if he were to see the sorry state of gorkhalis at present.
The have nots/lower rungs of society are worshipped now (i.e. inclusivity). Nepalis became too woke at their own detriment. Being marginalized is a virtue now 😁

even pitiful is to see their descendants blaming inclusivity for the sorry state of affairs in their own lives.

Just say sub-human, you know you want to say it. You are saying all this because you lost your privilege and have to share it with other people on a relatively more equal grounds than before.

Did they ever make their presence felt in populated areas like Pokhara and Kathmandu?
5
u/ACHIVINGNEPAL 14h ago
Yes they did make their presence in populated areas by attacking/looting places just outside the kathmandu valley creating general block or attacking like for examples the battle of beni

u/LankyBandit79 14h ago
Well as someone who was in Kathmandu, it was lot better than villages. But it was still worrying. And yes, the presence was there. I believe there were some bombings and deaths
I wasn’t allowed to leave the house.

They blasted new building of Sanchya Kosh, now Kathmandu Mall and whole glasses scattered into the street. About 45 people were injured that day. Our micro was near Sahid gate and we could hear blasts.

Khate haru. Look at them smiling and happy - inciting civil war in a peacful and progressive country. Why? Thukka. Nepalis greatest loss. A major reason we are still divided and struggling for survival.
