[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The largest gathering of Communists anywhere ever, in Asia. They forceably included many Nepali villagers, even the poor from India. They marched endlessly past me for hours. Terrified villagers often between the red jacketed men. They are real terrorists: bombing, stealing, extortion, ambushing police and army, kidnapping entire villages to "re-educate", taking anything they want, your home, your children, the men in your family for porters or to place in front of the army or demonstrations as a human shield. They prevent elections. They used the hatred for the last King to their advantage, now there is no one in their way to stop them. (scanned)

Hi gloria

A good photojournalistic shot of the Maoists. Communism has failed in every country its ever been in. I don't see it's attraction. Good graphism, as well. Tfs!

Hello Gloria,
Interesting documentary!
I'm noticing the fine feeling of depth in the image almost a 3-D effect, and a well composed presentation...
Greetings,
