We have let flow down the drain so much money already,isn't it worth spending even Rs.2 billions?

Is there anyone out there who thinks for the people, but no dictatorships.

'Addressing individual ambitions,insecurities,vulnerabilities.'

If we have people like that who lead our government,we don't need anyone of them.We are in the trouble and the best way out is to accepted the reality,which means continue to fulfil the signed agreements,don't improvise and distort through the process,understand it is not Indian government,it is our Nepal and yes ,with all do respect we can not deny the reality,we are not alone in the world, we have neighbours,however this peace process can only be concluded by us.

Don't look for reasons and excuses now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Balance,acceptance of differences,writing a constitution based on human rights in it's highest respect to every individual,accepting rights of everyone,is that so hard to understand,first put it on the paper,don't think that you need to limit,just because you can not afford it yet.That would be the next step for all of us,to make other systems in process to succeed,and again it is giving first and only then expecting results,and I mean selflessly .

The commentator (ref. to reply #7) is right-- the "Indian establishment has failed to form a new dimension to  look on the neighbors, particularly with Nepal..."  Sadly, the 'master-slave' mind-set inherited from their colonial past still seems to rule the behaviours of the Indian establishment today. Had Indians internalized their own true historic past, for exmaple, the real meaning of Gandhi's 'Swaraj' and the birth pang of true National Independence, the neighbours would find a different India today. It would not have been difficult for such a Nation to foster a mutual and trusting relationship with her neighbours, nor would it have been hard for Inida to treat  her own tribal peoples with dignity and respect. Instead, in the name of the mirage of 'national security', Delhi seems too much obsessed with seking for blessing from yet another 'Master' from the overseas.  (Mind you, the historic 'honeymoon' with Moscow ended as soon as the Cold War ended!) On the other hand, the 'traditional' intellectuals and the political pundit class in Nepal, are still obsessed to see every problem in Nepal through the 'Indian' lens. (There was a time, during the 1950's, the entire Nepal's cabinet used to fly to Delhi to take major decisions!) The 'Patna-educated' and 'Banaras-bred' intellectuals and 'pundits' in Nepal have failed to take the 'historically thawed' and 'sick' relationship between the two countries to a new and healthy one. My generation that witnessed first-hand, both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Wall Street, sees things through different references (mind it is plural!) I would like both the democratic forces in India and Nepal to be more assertive and confident. It is high time to start a healthy dialogue between our two nations. An alternative discourse is the demand of our time. The best mantra for the mutual security of our nations would be 'keep your purse secure, and don't blame your neighbour!' Nepal needs to define her strategic position as a bridge between the two rising economic power-houses of Asia. Let's do our homeworks to usher in a new era with the hightended consciousness of our own historical realities and sensibilities. It is the task of our younger generation leaderships to redefine a new relationship. Let's have debates on what should constitute the elements of such relationship.

�Attempting to continue without elections after May would not result in a "vacuum" but an uprising.�

This brilliant commentator, as always, is absolutely right! It will indeed be an �uprising� funded by the over 6,500,000,000 rupees (~USD 87 million) in monthly and daily allowance payments made thus far by the taxpayers to the �fierce� Maoist guerillas (poor guys!) who hitherto have been unfortunately and unfairly confined to the cantonments.  At least 50% of the money (NRs 3,250,000,000) has reportedly gone to the great Communist Party for which no accounting exists.  This is just one of the many sources of their ill-gotten wealth while they continue to amass hundreds of millions from extortion, looting and plundering.  The uprising will indeed be �revolutionary�, so it is better to bow down to them right now.  Over our dead bodies!!

This article by Prasanta Jhha brought up a deep analysis of current political situation of Nepal. Good work.  All political forces should arrive at a common conception to break the current deadlock. Simple majority government cannot bring stable peace and new constitution; Madhav and Oli should change their mind and give up their stance against the Maoist. Whoever is leading the government that does not make any difference to all Nepalese! Today first and foremost requirement is a broad consensus among all political parties as well as a majority government that should be able to bring new constitution in time and stable peace in the country.

"So yes, if you don't want to "bow down" to governments being chosen through elections, the result may well be "over your dead body"."

Sounds like a deal. Just like your heroes to whom you're busy singing your stupid paeans didn't bow down to a government that was chosen through elections and it resulted in thousands of dead bodies! Go ahead and give a shout out to your comrade buddies and see if they have the stomach for another fight.  The first and second string leaders of their party look like they've all gone through an extensive stint at a beef-fattening camp, but I'm sure the rest of their comrades, who purportedly represent the proletariat, and for whose cause the great leaders are standing firm, will fight the fight for their elitist leaders.  What a joke!
