well heartbeat......amny people see him as a villian of the country and I beg to differ...............The only Person that can bring stability to the country is our KING..........I have my reasons to believe he can please bear to read why without judgement.........................................I know that the days of monarchial rule is over and it is a more people governed world.....But just in the case of Nepal..........Our Kings united Nepal ......and along with our forefathers wrote our history forming our identity, culture and heritage....I do agree that Nepal was not doing good in those era because of the Ranas and all the royal plots and scheme that kinda let Nepal down.............But since democracy was handed to the people after King Birendra stepped down .....the politicians ruined the country even more,,,,,..........Politicians of both India and Nepal were less in to developement of Nepal but into self developement aND being richer than ever.......due to corruption and lawlessness of the politicians The MAOISTS were born...thus creating the carnage we all are aware of....These politicians labeled the Maoists as terrorists and started a war with them..........on the other hand they wer busy selling nepals rivers and valuables to India and the black market.......they abused all the Aid money..........An article published by an international magazine stated that if Nepal had utilized all the aid money where it was supposed to be used than Nepal would have become a very self stable rich country...but the money has dissappeared into thin air and the nepalese people were still dealing with huge poverty, malnutrition, illetracy, water and electricity, school and every problem a poor nation faces.......yet enough money was aided to Nepal to open hospitals schools, library, roads and etc........Nepal has recieved many offers from Int countries to develope hydro energy plants so that we could sell the energy to the world but they were denied by the peoples government......recently was the elysee frontiers funds  of peace company from france.....and they were asked to bribe 10 mill from the deuba cabinate and the girija cabinate...The french company went public in Kantipur and blamed the government and it left for good.............There are people who Blame King Gyanendra for the Sad Demise fo the royal family..........They view him as a power hungry monster who went on a power trip and gave the ultimate sacrifice of killing his own brothers's family to be the King........and then He sacks all the corrupt governments of nepal..........The people at first were pretty happy but .....the attacks from the maoist intensifyed and more people started to die when the king took over,,......he deployed the Army and let them loose on the maoists who by then trippled their killings ,,,...lootings...and made it impossible for the king to show any improovement.........it made it further more worse when the two arch enemies.....the Maoists and the  Political leaders  fromed an alliance to further create obstacle for the king to bring stability to a very severly damaged system.......India supported the political leaders and the maoists and made the union for them easy in India........................During the SAARC meeting King Gyanendra looked directly at the Indian PM and told him to stay out of Nepals interrior conflicts and concentrate on his own countries problems........The King had started a dialouge with China for business so that we dont depend on India......and you know business with India comes at ahuge back drop......Petroleum sortage at will, prices go up and down because of unnesessary sanctions by India...and yet we continue business with them.......They build an illegal dam...flooding parts of Nepal and yet the government says nothing...they steal energy from those dams for electricity for their cities yet there is no light in surrounding Nepali villages around the energy Dam...........WHY???.............tell me something ....if you had killed you family to come to power.........had you been a power monster who just did the unthinkable......would you give up the power so easy???????/I mean the king had asked three years to stabilize the country and then hand back the power back to the people .......and he had the full army and armed police behind his one command......had he been a power hungry monster....why didnt he order a marshall law?? everyone knew that the people rioting in the streets were not from kathmandu but were people who the political leaders and the mmaoists brainwashed against the king ..blaming the King for the countrys state of in stability...........thousands of innocent people died in the squablle between the political parties run government and the maoists.....and yet they returned to power as liberators...........the king althouh had the power to silent all of them and turn Nepal kile Burma sterpped down saying.......stop killing people in my name .....and he said Peace is my goal....if arch rivals becomes friends and they can bring peace than I will step down....anyways peace is what I want too......that to me wasnt a power hungry monster............thats why I believe that he is the only hope we have and I can understand if you beg to differ............
