The peace Accord signed by the Government of Nepal and the Maoists is an indicator of how the movement took shape over the years and has been instrumental in bringing about a change in the governance of Nepal. However, what needs to be understood is that replacement of monarchy was the major issue and Prachanda, the Maoist leader, along with his deputy Bhattarai contributed in effecting the change. What needs to be seen is the cadre and the rank and file accepting the truce in the correct perspective of bringing stability in the region.
