Combing operation against Maoists in Rolpa
KASHIRAM DANGI

Rolpa, Dec 29 - The Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) has launched a massive combing operation against the Maoists in Rolpa district to flush out the rebels from their stranglehold area.

A large number of the government troops have already entered the district's northern and western villages on Saturday.

A group of soldiers has been dispatched to Thawang village in the north while another has been deployed in Bhawang village in the west.

Each group of troops comprising 500 soldiers - have been formed for the combing operation mission.

Army choppers dropped over 2,000 soldiers in the district from neighboring Dang and Chitwan for the operation which include the commandos of the army’s special force - Ranger Battalion.

According to the New Gorakh Battalion based at Libang, each group has been deployed to the Maoist stronghold areas under the command of a Lieutenant Colonel.

The RNA operation comes at a time when the Maoist-declared unilateral ceasefire is still on and is likely to expire on January 2.

The source also said that the latest security operation would be one of the "deadliest" operations. "Although we have plans to conduct the operation for about a week to disarm the rebels, we will establish temporary camps in various villages," the source said.

The RNA has also warned various representatives of development organizations in the district to refrain from going out into the village areas for few days.

II I II..,

i can't believe your ignorance, vincent you don't need support from this raja's chamchas who are obviously enthocentric moron who doesn't even have any respect for fellow nepali of ethnic group other than his own.

ta jastai paji haru le khas haru ko naam badnam grya ho.

BTW, how do you know i'm HOMO did i eve f**D your A** ummm i quite don't remember but seems like you really have a good memory

Birbhadra,

I dont think of you any differently. Like I said, the reason I came out like the way I did was because of your prosition. I am 99% if we put on the gloves, the result will come out in my favor. I am not trying to gloat, rather its one of the reason I dont think fighting is a good option.

I do not care what the King thinks about newars. I dont care about his taste in women or religion or food or clothes. The reason I respect the King is I would rather have him represent Nepal than anyone else for now. He seems to have that "charisma" that oozes attention from both his friends and foes. In my opinion a leader is not an incarnation of God, at least not in this day and age. A leader should be able to represent one's nation amidst the world as per the time and situation. I think our King does a pretty good job.

We talk about, how its unfair to have monarchy as it prevents you and me to be in that position. My question is how different will we take care of the situation? Can we even match what the King can do and bring to the table as a leader? I dont think so. And, this has nothing to do with our abilities, its rather how ordinary Nepalese's minds have been set. I have done my share of schooling from few respected places and I have been fortunate to be able to add two and three letters after my name. That doesn't mean that I can rally the country in anyway. I think the same is true for other Nepalese.

I understand that we take examples from the US and the world how democracy has done wonders. But if you take a step back, do you really think it was the political situation that was responsible for their economic and social growth? I think not. I think it was sheer work that was put in by the citizens. There was an article written by a Korean boy which asked the ultimate question: "have you ever cried for your country?" I liked the article because it fosters a sense of contribution from the commoners rather than the usual accusation towards the government on how it has failed to develop the situations. I dont think it takes a King or a PM to build a country's economy. No matter what the international communities likes to say, Bill Gates is not what he is today because of a political situation of the US. I think we could use a couple of Bill Gates in Nepal now and there is no law that says you can't be one in Nepal, whether there's democracy or not.

I dont have a direct answer for the kid. But I think I come pretty close to it when I tell myself that Nepal should come out of this misery by using what we already have and know so well. I dont think we can do any good for ourselve by by giving up something thats so innate to us. I understand there have been some shady activities associated with the royal family. But its not the individual that I respect when I talk about monarchy. I respect the system. King is not just Gyanendra or Paras to me. Its an institution that has held on for a while. It will be almost impossible to build something that will come even close to that. I think it will be suicidal if we let go of something we understand so well for something we dont know anything about.

All in all, I guess I have managed to say nothing with a lot of words. What I want from Nepalese of today is the love for their country and their ways. I dont care how conservative it sounds. I want to be able to meet Nepalese who believe in the fact that they can prosper their situations with what they have and not go with the western philosophy that seems to portray that democracy is that magical pill that just cures everything. There are other systems that have flourished in the world. We dont have to look that far, a little north of us is thriving example how democracy can be an evolving process.

Very well said and I couldn't have said it any better myself. It is indeed refreshing, encouraging and gives me great pleasure to know there are other fellow Nepali brothers and sisters who share such sentiments. We all have one thing in common and that is genuine love for our motherland Nepal. May this love prevail against the hating forces.

Jay Nepal

well, Vincent

since we are not getting each other's point or at least not agreeing with each other i don't see any relevance on carrying this discussion any further.

you try your best to save the monarchy and i'll try my best to make nepal a democratic republic.

i'm so convinced in what i understand that i will not agree even if Shiva comes and tells me that monarchy is better for nepal. kshyama for my aham prabhu but i 'm not budging from my stance.

jai nepal
