Counter Revolution in Nepal

Divash Sharma


There are three stages of counter revolution in Nepal.




Stage One starts from Chunbang and ends at 12-point Delhi Agreement.



Stage Two starts from Delhi Agreement and ends at ‘Comprehensive Peace Agreement’ between parliamentary ruling forces represented by the then Girija government and revisionist forces represented by Prachanda-Baburam & Co.



Stage Three starts from the ‘Comprehensive Agreement’ and it has been still ongoing.



The organized, planned, motivated and structured inception of the counter revolutionary political line was proposed in Chunbang. The revolutionaries too during that time either advocated the line that made counter revolutionary course possible or they maintained silence. This gave green signal to counter revolutionaries to move forward.



During the period of 12 point Delhi Agreement too; there was much less resistance by the revolutionaries to that counter revolutionary coup.



During the time of the ‘Comprehensive Agreement’ too, they had not effectively resisted the move that practically started the process of disarming and demobilizing the PLA.



Hence, the CPN – M leadership must accept their grave mistakes, half-measures and submissiveness. Even now, they are giving confusing signals. Sometimes, it sounds that they have been suffering from the double-speak syndrome of Prachanda-Baburam & Co.



Blames, half-measures, passing conflicting/confusing signals and total lack of assertiveness may neither help CPN -M leadership to gain strengths, nor it will contribute to rebuild revolutionary structures including the party, army and joint fronts, nor it will help to mobilize masses, nor it will contribute to strengthen international communist movement.



Irrespective of his/her intention and representation of certain interests, I agree with arua that just criticizing Prachanda-Baburam & Co may not work. It is certainly one aspect, but making your house clean by accepting weaknesses, failures and mistakes and providing a course that ensures rebuilding of revolutionary course in Nepal are more important.
