Who is Prachanda???

For instance.. nobody would have ever thought that a normal Bsc. Agriculture degree holder, who was employed in rural development project, would turn out to be probably one of the greatest change-maker in Nepalese history... even daring to overthrow the 240 yr old SHAH dynasty..... Prachanda, even though is facing his own internal party problems at present{not being too much concentrated by media as always he was in past}, but is still known to world as what   Anirban Roy, an ex-Nepal correspondent of Hindustan Times describes HIM as "Prachanda: Ek Agyat Bidhrohi".. but the real deal is... Should Prachanda be treated as Hero or as a Villian?????
 For many people, it is common that a man who has killed more than 13000 nepalese in insurgency period to rise above power, why should he be treated like a hero?? should he be known as an assasinator then?
But, for other people, it's ironical that  Prachanda is the true hero of this nation, who has given voice to millions of downtrodden people in one of the poorest nations of the world.. he's given people a new hope to live their live their way..
So, is he a hero or villian??

THE THEN NEEDS & DEMANDS:

when Prachanda was preparing for the armed rebellion, at that time, Nepal was just getting taste of multi-party democracy after the 3 decades of direct rule by the King. Despite this achievement, the democracy process was getting too slow. Records were constantly fluctuating, but when maoists had started their insurgency period, GDP of Nepla was around 6%, which was a very encouraging figure as schools, bridges, business, hospitals were expanding { जुन अंक त अहिले बल्बल त्यति  को हाराहारी मा पनि छैन ;)} the main reason why maoists declared the armed rebellation was that the government had just rejected their demands without even giving them any proper attention..

many of the people agrees to this fact that government's disapproval was one of the dominant reason which was enough to arise thought of rebelletion on Maoist that led to war..
 

The damage during these insurgency period was huge, as forecasted by the then finance minister, who had stated the the damage of infrastructure was around $246 million, around 10% of todays Nepal BUDGET  and around 15% of the then Nepal's budget....!!!!
Maoists depended on weapons to threaten government to look after their demands and fulfil it... They killed thousands of innocent people leaving an angry impression to the people in the nation and all around the world....Prachanda and his mates confessed that killings in war is common and they regret for what they have done.

But is this all????  

many ordinary people like Prachanda would have choosen far easy way i.e live their life as it goes... but Prachanda choose a far more difficult path..to pursue his convocation that " THE POWER DO COMES FROM GUN" Prachanda risked his life , Prachanda made Maoists the by far most strongest party in the nation...
Not only this, it was because of this insurgency period and because of maoists that The Naion finally got to see social-political change among them..... people started becoming aware of the ongoing politics which is a good sign of course.....
So at last, again arises a question, should Prachanda be considered as a hero or as a villian??????????
