Nobody supports the Maoists: not India, not China, not the US. The Maoists would obviously be terrible for Nepal, but the only reason they have support at all from the people (and, amazingly, increasing support) is because the government and the king are so amazingly godawful. Gyanendra is the Nepalese Robert Mugabe -- anyone at all would be a better ruler.
"Gyanendra is the Nepalese Robert Mugabe -- anyone at all would be a better ruler."
So, the Maoists would be better rules?
you havent been to Harvard Square in the People's Republic lately have you? there is a huge amount of support here and there is a Maoist Bookstore raising funds at 1156 Massachusetts Ave (Revolution books). There are a lot of rich liberals here and business is brisk.
