whats wrong with the monarchy?????.....may be he stepped in when it was too late to change what the corrupt leaders had already ruined. May be he had stayed quite for a long time and people still blame him for the palace massacre...........But that was his family issue..........King Birendra was a good man...too good and too soft..... but under his kindness and trust for the people the corrupt leaders destroyed the country and because of that maoists came..........The royal family had issues like any normal family did and it got that wide scope just because they were the Royal Family.....IT was a very sad occasion and very tragic..........Dont speculate what happened....its the past.....In my recollection King Gyanendra did step in and took controll and promised to bring peace and unity to the country........he sacked the leaders of the political parties who had repeatedly sucked blood from Nepal and her citizens...and I do not need to give you proof for that unless you are one of them.............But what did they do ????those corrupt leaders gathered his goons accused the monarch of denying their right............the leaders campaigned to the uneducated majority of the nepali people who had been suffering these few decade thanks to the false promises by these same leaders just before election...............Against the King whose only action was to sack these corrupt leaders...................Why do you blame the King And his family for whats goin on in Nepal and not the leaders like Girija and Gang and the maoists for where we are right now........................I cant believe people are so blinded by these leaders promise who has failed us again and again.............Yes the royal Family is loosing and has lost a lot of ground............you know why.....Because he wanted the best for our country.............He could have declared a state of war and ordered his Army to take controll as he controlled the armed forces of Nepal......He did not do that because he loves us and the country and he knows that voilence is not the solution and he put his arms down for the sake of us ....he avoided a war for our safety and peace.........This is why I love My King and My Country Nepal............
