I don't understand what Bathroomcoffee means by repeatedly saying that King  Gyanendra has done nothing to Nepal. Give me an honest answer on who allowed him to work smoothly as a head of state. Dude, king is a man too, like you and me. They never boasted themselves as a god ( It's the media themselves who raise this issue so as to portray him as a negative figure in the international arena). Unless people support, no king can do anything. And the other important issue, king should not do anything controversial unless the situation compels him to do so. They are and should stay as a national figure of unity, even for those who dislike monarchy. When the king took the executive power, I believe he  was compelled to do so, because the country was lacking the elected people's body for a long time and the parties could not come with a consesus vision. Probably, he vowed hundreds of time that he was there solely to conduct the election and bring the derailed democracy to the track. You know the remaining story, so why you are ruthlessly attacking on the king? The king tried to his best but it was us, like you and me  who could not come forward to support him in this endeavour. My point is that it was not the king, but  us who could not fulfill our responsibility as a patriot. Dude, wake up before we all lose our nation. It wonna come back if we lose once. The Indians are orchestring all these things, because they believe that Nepal is a leftover from their mainland when the British unified their Hindustan. It's not only the RAW that thinks so, but most Indian public hardly believe that Nepal is a sovereign country. It was manifested in Madhuri's scandal too. Even here in USA, Indian behaves as if Nepal is a state like Bengal or Punjab. Don't argue that it's hard for India to annex at this century of globalization. They are soon going to be a super power and above that it's the over a billion market. Hardly, any country can risk opposing India for a FISTE counrty like Nepal. Their main aim at the moment is to destabalize the country and overthrow the monarchy so as to declare it as failed state. The monarchy is the only Institution that can give us a distinct identity as a sovereign Nepali. But knowingly or unknowingly, some people( because referendum will keep the monarchy in Nepal)  are working for the Indian interest in the name of democracy.
