I read really good book this weekend “Animal Farm” George Orwell. I could not leave this book once i started, I liked this book because it has portrayed a clear picture of current situation of Nepal. I could just one to one map the characters of the story to the characters of Nepalese politics. There are numerous examples in the story where i can just relate to a recent incident in Nepal, what a coincidence!!! Written in early 1940s, we are practicing this master piece in early 21st century right in my country.
My country has already seen three revolutions in 5 decades. The pigs are changing, in 2007 BS it was King Tribhuvan, In 2047 BS it were political parties and now the pig is Maoists. Nevertheless all four foot creatures have finally converted to “two legged”.
The pigs stage revolution by slogans of equality, justice denouncing the previous ruler as symbol of injustice. After revolution succeeds then the Pigs are rulers. Then the equality rules is translated to “Some animals are more equal than others”. The Pigs use imaginary return of the previous ruler to make public comply with their decisions. If anybody managed to raise voice against them then the “agent of injustice” would be executed “for Justice and equality”. The pigs enjoy “Milk and Apples” of the farm for “Justice and Equality”. With dogs guarding the pigs’ rooms no one would dare to raise voice. The Nepali Pigs are trying to get rid of other dog “Nepal Army” to make their dog dominant.
Castro in Cuba, Guddafi in Libya are few other examples of pigs in World’s political map who have managed to rule for a long time. The revolutions do not good to people, it’s just “Mission Impossible” for normal people to benefit. You have to be one of the pig who knows politics to get benefit from revolutions.
I don’t think this is against communism itself, but most of the pigs happened to be Communist. Nepal is a perfect example of inclusive set of pigs.
