In spite of the support from many major sectors of the country like health care, transportation, banking, and other service sectors, it seems like the strike for democracy is diluting day by day. The dynamic and energetic people who have been actively involving in the protest have been arrested. The leader of major political parties are under house arrest or they are not making their public face as before. Where are these leaders? Are they under arrest or they are hiding somewhere? Before they used to be in TV channels requesting for strike. Now they have not been seen. Are they all sent to jail. If the condition reamin same the strike will be passive soon. Then what’s the use of so much bloodshed of these commoners. What I believe now is that the strike should be more intensified and should continue indefinitey until the objective is met i.e. until the king is thrown out of power. Some leaders are talking about negotation with the king . Its for sure that king will not give up his power. Then what’s the use of negotiation. It is all again for compromising as before and again grasping power later. Ahile compromise hola re. Tara pachi paras ayo bhane ke garne.. Have you ever thought? Now there shouldn’t be any compromise with king. There shouldn’t be anything like monarchy in this country. The fate of country should no more depend just on a person’s decision and mood. The revolution should be for the state where there is not king, where the absolute power is only given to people. If we get passive now and the king become successful in suppressing this revolution then it would take years again to regain democracy. Like when in 2017 B.s king Mahendra took power, it took 32 years to regain that power by people. Again it has already been two years without democracy here in Nepal. So if the current wave of revolution is passified then its for sure that it would be very difficult to regain democracy again. Ahile 100 jana marera democracy launa sakincha bhane, pachi lakhaun manche marnu parne huncha. One a great politician said that one who gives up his freedom for shortterm security is always void of security in longterm. So, we souldn’t want shortterm security currently and give up our sovereignty. But we should want long lasting freedom. Andolan is like volcano. Once it get activated, it dissipates lots of power and destroy any barrier that comes in its way but once it gets passified it will again thake decades to regain its power. Ahile ko andolan lai nai heraun na. Yo sthiti samma auna yesle kati patak sano tino andolan garna paryo. So if the current revolution is not continued more vividly, we again have to live withour freedom for decades. It is fact aht ther has been many mistakes in 12 years practise of democracy and we should agree with it but it doesn’t mean that thre mistakes are unforgivable. Yeuta baccha ramro sanga hindna janna dherai patak ladnai parcha. Sidhai dagurna khojera panita hundaina. If the democracy had been continued after 2007 B.s then it would already have been matured. But paralysis bhayeko prajatantra lai pheri dagurauna ta time lagihalcha ni. Hoina ra???? Finally, this strike shouldn’t be stopped until the king withdraw and gives the sovereignty back to the people. The important fact that we shouldn’t forget is that it takes time for a volcano to be active once it gets dormant. Tesaile andolan ko jwalamukhi lai sajilai selauna dinu hundaina. How much do u agree?
Wow, those pictures are quite harsh; nothing like them in the popular press here. In fact, things have been forgotton almost as quickly as they appeared, at least in CBC coverage of the demonstrations.
In response to the question you left on my blog, no, I am not writing from Nepal. I am a Canadian medical student who will be working near Leh this summer, and after that placement, I am interested in working in a rural clinic in the Kathmandu valley. My interest in the situation was originally motivated by queries into the culture and conversations with a friend who is interested in the Maoist movement there.
Now, I have an additional desire to ensure that I can understand the political dynamics well enough to ensure my safety and to not interfere whilst working there. My priorities are to provide cross-cultural health care to an underserviced population, to learn about the culture, and to pursue a learning opportunity for international and remote medicine.

You should be okay. By then Nepal will have a democratic government in place.

I agree. There has to be a rethink. I think we should go for this: Interim Constitution, Revolutionary Parliament

Hi Paramendra.
