230 years OF MONARCHY, agree. But PEOPLE let us not forget that from 1990 to current its has been EVERBODY's-ANARCHY (I guess a new word). What did 17+yrs of 'pseduo-democraz(c)y' DO FOR NEPAL? I have few answers: it created MAOISTs gave DHAMIJA scandal, politicians who could not afford to buy a hawaii slippers, BOUGHT PAJEROS, we had 'BANDHS' every alternate week,...etc.......... on a SAD NOTE: We got rid of MONARCHY, OK. But we lost 14000+ innocent men/women/children to the MAOIST-terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this the cost we pay for 'getting DEMOCRACY'???????? Why is it suddenly become a fashion to HARP AGAINST MONARCHY? Does someone know that there has been NO KING SINCE APRIL 2006. It is almost one year AND WHAT HAVE THE 8 PARTY BUFFOONS DONE, CREATED A INTERIM Govt.... Interim Goverment for whom? For themselves or for the people of Nepal? See this example: our toursim minsiter is a maoist, what does he know about tourism? Forget toursim: What has DEMOCRACY for last ONE YEAR done for Nepal, it's poor people? Done what for its educated children graduating from colleges? What are the hopes & opportunities in Nepal??????? Let us not get carried away by going on & on against Monarchy. SHAMEFUL.
