Still a rebel

It had been noticed and witnessed that the rebel Maoist leader Prachanda still has that rebellion instinct of his intact. Be it good or bad, but he has been breaking long standing rituals one after another because of this rebellion nature of his. Him visiting China before India is not an issue cause as the head of the state of a country it’s his choice to visit any country that he thinks the need to. The issue is that, in the past all dignitaries leaving or arriving the country were seen off and received by “pancha-kanyas” but in the case of the rebel leader Prachanda there were no pancha-kanyas seen when he was leaving or arriving from China. The leaders, in the past, when on a state visit always wore the traditional Nepalese dress (daura surwal) but the rebel leader is mostly seen wearing a business suite. These issues are not of much importance, but at the same time they carry sentimental values. Being a Nepali one should be proud to wear the Nepali dress. Regardless of what these leaders feel about themselves but they should not forget that they are still a Nepali and should abide by the Nepali sentiments.
