What does CA dissolution mean?
The dissolution of the CA does not mean the end of
everything. It can be considered a lesson; it can be attributed to various
factors, the political intentions or the motives of the major political forces
in the main. All of them did pay the greatest amount of time and attention to
government formation or dissolution. None of them separated from this wrong
process. The former Maoist rebels misled their own cadres and supporters by
sticking to the wrong process of government formation and dissolution. The
Maoist leadership, through it had a special responsibility of interpreting and
institutionalizing change agenda, highly superficialized its role--something
quite unexpected from the former rebels. Since the former rebels themselves
spent the six invaluable years of the peace process in training people to
tolerate all the evil tendencies against which they had militarily and
ideologically fought for 10 years, the adolescent generation--so emotionally
curious to learn--had a chance to learn almost nothing regarding the political
change process, its long-term impact on the future of the coming generations,
the rationale of the people's movement, and the barriers to be removed.
What is more frustrating in this context is that the young
generation was forced to believe that all parties in Nepal were given to
undemocratic culture--a psychology insensitive to people's sufferings, heavily
concentrated on catering to their own personal and factional interests. The
creation and widespread escalation of this belief among the majority of people
is definitely not conducive to the nurturing of genuine democracy. It rather
leads even future generations to the do-whatever-you-like-and-can path of thinking and behavior--a
self-destructive psychological structure. Under this emerging nuissant
psychological structure, the politically, economically and socially
inaccessible and vulnerable will be further victimized.
To prevent or at least minimize the victimization of people,
the peace process stakeholders must take lessons from the CA dissolution. They
now must make use of every hour in internalizing the change agenda by
themselves and interpreting them honestly to people. To help the major peace
process stakeholders do so, the Civil Society members should produce and
disseminate critical and independent analysis on the causes and effects of the
CA dissolution and the possible future courses of action.
