Lesson from Egypt!

Last week  (4 July, 2012) in Egypt, president M. Morsi had been replaced by Adly Mansour (head of the Supreme Constitutional Court) followed by military coup. Mr. Morsi was the first democratically elected president of Egypt came from the Muslim brotherhood, after sacking Hosni Mubarak (a long term autocrat) in so called Arab spring 2011.The Blaze writes on the recent ouster of Morsi: "The ouster of Morsi throws Egypt on an uncertain course, with a danger of further confrontation. It came after four days of mass demonstrations even larger than those of the 2011 Arab Spring that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak." 
Uptill now more than 50 Muslim brotherhood protestor has confirmed dead in bloodshed. And islamic constitution drafted within very first year is also desolved.
Thomas L. Friedman writes in NYtimes: "I wish the Egyptian army, which has its own interests, had not been involved. But perfect is not on the menu anymore in Egypt. Egypt could have had the worst of all worlds: an invincible government and an insoluble economic and social disaster."

Now let me correlate the case of Nepal in terms of racial distaste dissolved in political movement, ouster of long term monarchy(2008), incapability of politicians to ice-break the political deadlock and to draft new constitution. Fortunately, we have safely landed from very severe situation since there was a constitutional cessation after the failure of first constitutional assembly. 
Similar to Egypt, Nepal has chief justice of supreme court as chief of electoral government. Even though scenario of Egypt and Nepal is different, the outcome here still seems uncertain. People doubt on recently announced election of second CA, and even if election will be held no one believes current political parties will be able to draft new constitution. This means people are keenly seeking some sort of 'new force' to rule this country, and you know how horrible it is when new political force arise through non-democratic process. 
Another worst thing is the rising of voice demanding 'caste based federal states' ie. political priority(if this is the correct word, I say) for minority of caste who can high their voice. Descrimination or favorism based on caste and religion (whether dominating monority or vice versa) has proved to be the potential threat for any nation esp. on their socio-economic aspect. But why our people are still motivated towards possible devastation. Some limited number of politicians started this bullshit for their personnal benefit, however, now it may go beyond their control too. 
Another most important achievement in Nepalese history is the outrage of 'Shah' dynasty (last king: Gyanendra Shah) which had been ruling Nepal since last 240 years. Almost 15,000 people lost their life in civil war against Monarchs but current trend (towards failure of political parties) is indirectly activating monarchs again. Nepalese people should understand the fact that failure of one generation leader is not the failure of whole democratic process. One wrong decision due to frustration may create the favorable environment for autocrats or rise of new power through non-democratic process; and its horrible. Look at the burnings of Egypt in front of our eyes. People once lost their lifecan never get it back. Bloodshed will give nothing more than pain. Hence its time to carefully choose future leader, since our war is over and what we need is a right person to drive all these. 
We are in right course but wrong persons are fueling racial disgrace among us but I wonder why we can't anser them "Go to hell." 
Its Time!!!
