What do you think if your freedom - Fundamental Political Rights, Human Rights to enjoy human life, Right of Privacy all in all the freedom of speech as a human being is thretened on the gun point?

HERE'S THE OPEN LETTER FROM NEPAL:

This is an open letter send by a journalist in Nepal who is currently in hiding. It is the first piece of communication from the totally cut-off Nepal. His identity has been kept secret since it's a highly sensitive issue.

Dear friends and well-wishers,

I am using email after three days, currently under cover in Nepal. As all the telephone lines, Internet and other communication facilities have been cut off, we are experiencing the Stone Age in the 21st century.

This has been a complete hell for journalists. We are not allowed to talk to anyone. Political leaders are either under house arrest or have been detained. There are Armymen patrolling the streets. Even if there is emergency situation in a house, there is no way of communicating with others.

In the eyes of a foreign journalist, everything would seem calm and normal on the streets. But the weight of the undercurrent is unfathomable.

Ours is one of the biggest media houses in Nepal. Since the king addressed the nation on Tuesday morning, dictatorial rule has been imposed on media as well.

The Army officers scan all the contents before it goes to the printing or on air.

I won't be able to check emails for the next several days or may be months. So don't reply.

Our life is in threat and an eerie silence is lingering in every corner of Nepal. Speaking anything against the monarch or the rulers is directly inviting death, or being behind the bars, not less.

I hope my friends outside Nepal help us in this hour of difficulty. Please circulate this email among your friends' circle, and please try to exert pressure on your government to bail my country out of the trouble and hardships we are going through.

Thank you.

I know some of us agree with the move of tyran king and some of us don't. Despite our differences we have to consider how we gonna evolve in Nepal under the permanent threat to our fundamental rights. I personally believe that without the rule of law under the Democratic political process in this modern time we humans do no enjoy our lives despite of prosperity and control.

We have to think responsibly that we humans naturally are intellectually evolving animal. For any monarchy with its traditional values of its instituation to survive in this modern time its citizens need to be enjoying their lives being a most resourceful human resources- meaning educated, efficient and professional. Human resourses are the only resourse that can never undermine the human prosperity. Regimes that supress human resourses like Rana and Shah can not survive in this modern time with its moncarchy. Unless there is a modernization in the instituate as our beloved king Birendra and his grant father Tribhuban tried with their best.
