That was a very articulated, well thought and well researched
article by Rajiv. As the results of recently concluded Nepal
elections start pouring in, it is becoming clearer with every
passing minute that Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) is heading for
a near absolute majority. Maoists have proved that they are not,
what the domestic, Indian and the western bourgeoisie media has been
trying for years to portray them, a rag tag guerilla outfit that has
limited support base and the one that survives on terror, violence,
excesses, extortion and subjugation. They conveniently forget that
no group has ever been able to gather mass acceptability unless it
has struck the right cord with the masses. A group that thrives on
terror tactics eventually works towards its own destruction as the
people themselves turn against it. Maoists on the other hand, gained
wider acceptability as the poor, deprived people could identify with
their cause and gradually the Maoists were able to bring 85% of
Nepal under their influence within a decade. Then there is another
allegation (false) thrown at the Maoists, is that they are being
supported financially and logistically by the PLA and Pakistan’s
ISI. This account falls flat on two counts:
1. Maoists consider PLA to be a revisionist body that has departed
from the principles and ethics of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. As we all
know, today’s China’s PRC is nothing more than a dictatorship that
serves to protect the interests of the capitalist corporations that
do business with it.
2. Pakistan is hardly a partner as ISI was provided a sanctuary in
Nepal to carry out its anti-India activities when the country was
under the rule constitutional monarchy and the various “democraticâ€
governments. One of the MPs in the so-called “democraticâ€
government, Mirza Dilshaad Beg had close links with Pakistan’s ISI
and was instrumental in fomenting anti-India activities from Nepal.
He was killed years ago by an eastern UP mafia don Babloo
Srivastava, probably acting on behest of R&AW.
Anyway, some people might not like the idea of Hindu Rajshahi coming
to an end, but we must not forget that plight of an average Nepalese
citizen, who had to migrate outside his homeland, just as we, the
Uttarakhandis had to leave hills to go to plains in search of
employment and other opportunities. Britain and India used Nepalese
citizens to fight their wars, the Nepalese citizens were thought to
be dim witted and good for doing menial jobs only such as being a
house help, working in the dhabas and at the best as a security
guard. Such is the level of racism rooted against Nepalese citizens
that recently, a radio jockey, on the occasion of winning of Indian
Idol television show by an Indian citizen of Nepalese origin, that
he went on to comment that who will guard our houses during the
night, if Gurkhas take up other professions such as singing!!
Not only this, the water sharing treaty (Mahakali treaty) and the
Indo-Nepalese treaty is balanced heavily in favor of India. Whenever
Nepal tried to raise its voice or did something that did not suit
India’s interest, India as a bully indulged in arm twisting tactics
to pulverize Nepal. The General Secretary of CPN (Maoist) has
repeatedly said, that he does not see India as a hostile neighbor,
but his party would definitely like to have the treaties that have
been signed between India and Nepal in the past to be reviewed and
altered so that it does swing heavily in favor of India and that
Nepal gets for itself as to what is fair for itself.
I do hope that victory of Maoists in Nepal will boost the Naxalite
and PWG struggle in India, but I am not sure if Communist Party of
Nepal would openly support the Naxalites and other leftist guerilla
groups in operation in India.
In the next few years, let’s hope that Maoists do not capitulate to
capitalist and market forces. Since, Nepal lacks industry and
infrastructure; if possible, they should either try developing the
infrastructure or at least harness the capitalist lobby to invest in
infrastructure and then take over where it is possible.
I am sure, like what the leftist revolution did in former Soviet
Union, in People’s Republic of China, Cuba and other places, the
same would happen in Nepal. People would have access to universal
healthcare system, education and housing. Overall, I see Nepal
taking giant strides in human development.
