Your profile is well written and very interesting! Thank you for that.
I would love to go to Nepal someday, but would feel strange about it when Maoists are butchering people while tourists sightsee.
Welcome to FR. Can anyone say "Ghurkas"?
Welcome to F.R.
The situation in Nepal is certainly very bad, our two countries have been friendly for sometime (I am British) and it would be terrible if the Maoists were to take power and end that fruitful relationship.
Your profile page is very informative and well written.
OK answer me this - Maoists means peasant revolt - the guerillas from what I have read are not backed by China - does India back them? Is the King pro Chinese or Pro India in his policies? Is this revolt the reson for the King's martial law?
You would be surprised by how many people from South and South-Central Asia are members of this website.
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's brother.
At least you can take some solace-hopefully-from the knowledge that he died in the service of his country, protecting his homeland from a scourge that has murdered, oppressed and violated the human rights of millions of people across the globe.

Anyone who kills communists is OK by me.
"Most of the Nepalese are poor, illiterate, and are swayed by outrageous political promises."
Except for the poor and illiterate part, Nepalese sound just like the Democrat Party members.
Are you saying that democratic India supports the communist Maoists and the communist Chinese hate the Maoists? What an upside down world!
Do the Maoists have popular support by the common people? They seem to be on the rise.
Welcome to FR. Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you. In your country's fight against Maoists, don't expect much help from organizations like the EU, the UN, and most of the American and international media. They're more likely to support the agenda of the Maoists than your fight against them.
