Hi Kalp and team, You are free to write to whoever you want to. It is more effective if you write to your local representatives in the US. However, living in a democratic country, please do not give a BS to others. It appears you have gone to the US as a person raised with the Panchayati influence or money as your writing all over in the petition shows it. “We believe that the King is working for the best interest of the nation and the King is historically, traditionally and religiously a symbol of unity for the various multi-ethnic groups of people…” What gave you the right to write the above? You must be blind of what is happening in Nepal for last decade if not for two centuries. Don’t you know the king has not dealt with the serious problem of integrating other ethnic groups into the mainstream? Look at the government today and look at right under the roof of the royal palace who are ruling? It is a vicious circles of only a selected few castes. So, how could the king be a symbol of unity for multi-ethnic groups? If the king had paid even a small attention to ethnic problems that was neglected by the parties, he would not have faced the problems that he is having today and he would have spared the country from the Maoists problems. There is NO future for the ethnic groups under the monarchy. It is simply a fact now. The Maoists have sold dreams to ethnic groups that they will cannot fulfill, but the future of the country to remain as one with all the diversity we have lies with a true REPUBLIC. I challenge you to list here 3 significant contribution that Shah dynasty has made to wellbeing of the common people in Nepal. So, please do not distort the facts, ok. Good luck with your petition. I would say that you have put some good things in your petition though. I will be curious to see those professionals who will lend support to your petition as it is written now. One more thought, if I may, instead of going round with this petition, the Nepal’s best interest will be served if you spread a campaign among your parents, relatives and friends to stop practicing corruption individually henceforth and ask them to give the money back earned through corrupt practices. That is if they have indulged in corruption and earned money.
