It is known
that Prachand 54, who is going to decorate the highest office in
Nepal, has been a school teacher & a Brahmin by birth. Under
his leadership, the Maoists had challenged the kingship. He has
created the circumstances of civil war for Nepal government
& Nepal army. About 13000 persons lost their lives in this
civil war. After a long struggle for many years, in November
2006, the Maoists had decided to be active in the main stream of
politics & leave the path of violence. After that, because
of intermediation of the United Nations Organisation, there was
an attempt to put trust among the Nepal government being run
under the Nepal kingship, the Nepal Army & the Maoists.
Under these attempts, the Maoists were made to agree to end the
civil war in Nepal, to leave the path of violence & to have
discussion with the Nepal public by taking part in the
democratic elections. In 2006, an interim government was
established under the agreement between the Maoists & Nepal
government. The Maoists also joined it. This interim government
declared the end of the kingship in Nepal & the word, a
Hindu nation with Nepal was also abolished. It was declared as a
secular state.

As
the time of handing over the power to the Maoism in Nepal
is drawing near, all the world is looking curiously at
this historical political change in Nepal very minutely.
The persons who were in lakhs, who were known as
terrorists in the past, who ran the training camps in the
forests & who possessed many illegal weapons are going
to take over the reins of government in Nepal. The world
is observing the fact that how the Nepal Army & Nepal
security agencies that were struggling against the Maoists
will sing their tunes together. One thing that worries,
the results of the general election reveal that Maoists
have entered the Nepal Parliament as the biggest political
party but according to the fresh results they have not
secured the absolute majority.

After the
declaration of complete results, if they get the absolute
majority, then they would be able to make one party government,
otherwise they will have to take help of the other political
party to run the government. If such situation arises, a problem
may come to forefront that the Maoist thoughts don’t agree
with the thoughts of other parties. The main reason is that
there is basic difference between their thoughts & the
Maoists can’t work on cooperation basis.
Will
the attitude of the Maoists be aggressive after coming into
power as before & during the struggle with the Nepal
government & the Nepal Army? Or there will be a
revolutionary change? To know this, the statements of the Maoist
leaders given about the Nepal king Raja Gyanendra have to be
observed minutely. As the end of kingship was declared with the
formation of interim government but the drawing near of the time
of election made the Maoists feel that they would win the power
in elections. As the time passed, the attitude of the Maoists
became stern against the king Gyanendra. Even it is said that
the Royal Palace of King Gyanendra, ‘Narayanhiti’ at
Kathmandu will be got vacated. There was also the news that the
king could be arrested & put in jail. A few days ago, there
was news that king Gyanendra would leave Nepal & take asylum
in India. The fresh statement given by a senior Maoist leader
about King Gyanendra states that the king would be asked to
vacate this palace as it represents the kingship, but he will be
given a chance to live in another palace in Nepal. It can be
guessed that there is a possibility of a revolutionary change in
the thought & actions of the Maoists when they were not in
power & when they are in power.
Anyhow
the Nepal Communist Party is going to take the powers in Nepal.
As this party claims to be representative of the workers, the
labour & the poor, so there is a great hope among the
workmen when this party takes the power into its hands. If the
Maoists come true to the hopes of the workmen, the labour &
the farmers & are able to give them structural relief, as is
hoped by them, then they must be given a warm welcome in the
governments. But with that they need to fill their gap of
difference with the high class, the capitalists & the
industrialists. Because for the progress of the country, they
must establish cooperation among the high & the low, the
rich & the poor, the haves & the haves not, the
landlords & the tenants & the industrialists & the
workers. It should be hoped that the Maoists will give a happy
& progressive rule in Nepal & at the same time, they
will strengthen the bonds of friendship & love that are
there for last hundreds of years between Nepal & their
neighbor & cooperative country India.
