Back in 2009, when the Maoist government was in power, I’d read an article that compared the Maoists to Hamas. It speculated that despite different external circumstances and interventions, the Maoists would also tread the path of Hamas, slowly departing from mainstream politics. Today, Hamas remains a powerful militant force in the Gaza strip. But the nation has become a great game for Israel, the Futahs and Hamas. Fortunately, Nepal did not depart on that turbulent path.
