I would like to ask the armchair revolutionaries what were you doing when the Maoists were fighting a war. Were you in the battlefield? Did you lose an arm or two? Or were you in the safe confines of a foreign university busy fashioning yourself in the mould of the cliched left intellectual? Maybe you are still there? Maybe you are preparing for your return, hopeful that the new Red Elite will not forget your loyalty and dole out few favors like bones thrown to a dog perhaps? Or maybe you are happy stirring the pot from your capitalist haven certain that the mud slinging never reaches you.

Why is it that most of you are employed by one of those shady foreign organizations working at which makes you so ashamed you want to hide it lest it reflects bad on your analyst career? Why don’t you have regular people appreciating your work? Why is it that outside of your small mutual admiration society no one takes you seriously?

And why are you so scared of Ushafts?

About the second point: the point of this blog post is not much about the UN_Nepal’s behavior (I think it is wide out in the open), as it is about the very contradictory and shameful behavior shown by other respected people vis-a-vis anonymous speech.

With that point cleared, I believe that authorities and accountable institutions (such as UN_Nepal) should look at the merit of the questions or issues raised rather than looking at the person raising the question / issue. If the question is valid and issue serious, they should answer that without being biased about who was it.
