Interesting, it seems to me like the Maoists are trying to impose communal politics and lifestyle changes while the United Mission to Nepal is trying to impose a different form of religiosity and a bit of their own "westernized" propaganda. It's like Americans choosing between George Dubya and John Kerry. I do hope they choose the lesser of two evils if they can't choose either. It's unfortunate, however, that the world's last officially Hindu nation, with traditionally Bhuddist underpinnings must contend with Marxist Christian ideals. It really is a pity at both sides.
