At least get you facts correct buddy. This article was written by CK Lal
and not Robin Sayami.
Robin Sayami is a cartoonist and a good one at that. While CK Lal is a
and a hot one at that.
Just read what one reader from Nepal has to say about CK Lal:-

the tragedy of C.K Lal
I used to admire C.K Lals writing. He has been writing weekly columns for the Nepali Times as far back as I remember. I used to find his columns sharp and lucid, and often full of unexpected insights. When I was in Kathmandu during the period immediately following the royal takeover in 2005, in that period of widespread uncertainty and anxiety, I eagerly awaited his weekly columns. Not only because they were insightful, but because they reflected my own mood at that time of cynicism and melancholy.
But lately Ive begun to find him tiresome. His weekly writings on Nepali politics dont irk me as much as his pompous monthly pronouncements about the South Asian region in Himal Southasian. The cynicism and anger, with which I identified with in 2005, now annoy me to no end. It has become clear that cynicism and bitterness is Lals response to everything, it informs and infects his entire worldview.
Lals ideological moorings veer towards that of the old Indian left. He is not explicitly a Marxist or a Gandhian-activist, but, amid the stale whiffs of the old socialist-bureaucratic ideology of the Indian state that his writings emit, are traces of both those strands of leftist Indian thought. All this is couched in heavy-handed metaphor and hyperbole, which Lal no doubt considers poetic.
Perhaps he thinks his lack of analytical and factual rigour will be camouflaged by his embarrassingly purple prose. His essays are so pompous and overstated that the image one derives of the writer is of an intolerant codger who will brook no argument. He not so much argues a point of view as tries to drown out all opposing voices. Reading him is like listening to a rant by someone who wants to coerce you into accepting his point of view.................."

idune,
Failed Pseudo communists like CK Lal are a dime a dozen.
You have just managed to exhibit your profound ignorance of all the issues you are supposed to be championing. The only sense that comes through in your unending endeauvours is a rabid anti-Indianism. Capish????
