Matyangro, did you forget the King going to remote places every month, meeting people from every corner of the country? Will Girija bother to do that? Nepalese - some of them are real third class. I remember my people saying that they read a 12 page photocopied book called "vandafor" during 2046, where they had written Shruti got pregnant by a oderly and they killed the orderly. Will you believe all that??? One should have one's own commonsense. Whatever the people say about the King is due to their vested interest in getting something. The King had negetive publicity which is unfortunate. I know a guy name Kiran Shitaula in DC are who was actively anti monarchy guy. He just does some small job in Hilton and also works as a newspaper guy in " USA today".Recently it was reported that he was in a green card scam and was collecting money from Nepalese giving them the hope of getting them green card. He was also interrogated by FBI. Now it is written he is also contesting for US ambassadorship because that shitaula home minister is his uncle.
