The
decade long (1996-2006) Peoples War (PW) in Nepal led by the CPN (Maoist) will
go down in history as one of the most important events of the twenty-first
century. At a time when the intellectual discourse is completely fogged by
so-called post-modernist and imperialist globalization agenda, the
earth-shaking revolutionary war waged by the poorest of the poor of Nepali has
provided a refreshing folder of thought for the discerning minds. Hence the
Nepalese PW motivated millions across the globe to produce a vast wealth of
information, comments and literature of varied kinds. It is a high time that
this right information experiences from the battle field in a book form for the
benefit of the general public, academia researchers and interested group and
peoples.
‘A
perspective on the Maoist Movement in Nepal’
is a commendable attempt to fulfill that historical necessity. This book written by Khimlal Devkota who himself
one of the battle field experienced as well as peace process involved
intellectual and currently central committee member, is a mine of references on
the epochal events of the war and peace and constitution writing process . It
provides insider view on development of strategic and tactic of the Maoist
movement in Nepal with numbers of internal debate and line struggles.
Though
the revolutionary process in Nepal has entered into a new phase after the
signing of Comprehensive Peace Accord
(CPA) in November 2006,the revolution has not ended. Rather the proletarian
revolution is continuing in a new form. After the stunning victory of the CPN
(Maoist) in the Constituent Assembly (CA) election held in April 2008 and
proclamation of the first republic by the first meeting of the CA in May 2008,
the Nepalese proletarian revolutionary moment is widely seen provide a new
model through the fusion of the bullet and the ballot. Nepali revolutionary and
peoples of Nepal has achieved a Republican System, Secularism, Inclusion and
Federalism as revolutionary and historical assets. Nepal was almost about to
complete peace process and constitution writing process but most of the status
quoits and reactionaries made conspiracy
against it. Then CA demised untimely and unfinished their task. Some of the
dogmatist within the party involved to support their interest knowingly
unknowingly.
The
book should attract furthermore researchers revolutionary practitioners and
party workers who really wanted to know about Maoist tactic and strategy
developed and practiced in Nepal all over world to study of the experiences of
the decade long PW and half decade Peace process in Nepal.
Finally,
the book should provide convenient handbook to all the academics and
revolutionary activists so I would like to congratulate to Khimlal Devkota. I
would expect furthermore publications and writings in future. I wish him all
the best.
