Major rally in people’s area of Nepal "According to the May 6th issue of Janadesh, the revolutionary Kathmandu weekly, a huge mass meeting successfully took place at Thawang in the district of Rolpa in Nepal.
Thawang is a small town situated at the lap of the Sisne Himalaya (snowy mountain) and Jaljala hummock. It is renowned for its revolutionary heritage, comparable to Saint Antoine in 19th-century Paris, Viborg in Bolshevik Saint Petersburg, Chingkangshan in Mao’s China and Ayacucho in modern Peru. In 1982, at the call of the Maoist party the masses of Thawang completely boycotted the Panchayat parliamentary election. Consequently, the Royal Army launched a military operation. But the people of Thawang stood firm and bold against the enemy. Since then, Thawang has been a beacon of revolutionary upsurge, revolutionary spirit and revolutionary victory in Nepal. Several times there have been military operations there, both before and since the People’s War, and this hilly town was burned down. Still the people stood up and rebuilt it on the ashes."
