CHOR, Why do you think that monarchism is saving Nepal from THAT GRAND SALE? If it was so easy to sell the country, then nepal's monarh's would have pocketed that hafty sum long ago and would have immigrated to other country. It is much easy for King to be Landlup Dorjee than for political leaders. No No, it is not as you said. Do not have a false sense of security provided by King from selling our country. As a sajhaite (I presume all sajhaites are atleast moderately educated if not highly educated), we should not engulf ourselves on historic events like Sikkim. Often, I find people waste time disscussing the issues like Bihmsen Thapa, Bhakti thapa, Sikkim , Kasmir events. Often they engage themeselves on Rana's history and Sugauli Sandhi discussion (which I guess is USELESS). We are in modern era, we have to cope with global economic challanges. The world is shrinking due to easy communication, easy mass transportation, open polices of most of the countries in the world etc etc. The root solution is freedom which sparks education. The awarness brought on educated mass bears economic and intellectual fruit. How is monarchism obstruction the development? It is cyclic process. I will post on next time. Later....
