I have been reading this thread closely; all of you are against each other. Some of you are comparing current situation to  past and do not want to go with the changes. We most of us agree that there should not be Iraq war but it already happened and can not turn it back; Iraqi people got better security while Saddam Hussein was president. His era is gone and now they do not have other choices rather than facing the truth, the present situation. What ever they have, need to work on it.  So does apply to us too.  How it happened, let’s not go behind it. What ever happened and how it happened , already happened. Now , there is no king, and pretty sure  we not going to get back any king. All Nepali knows that unless INDIA plays a role, but not going to do it. Are just comparing the past and the present situation or you are dreaming  to reinstate kingship? That point is not clear.

We do not disagree on the present worst political , economical and social situation. Hope for better. And how we are  contributing to overcome this situation. As syanjali said, sitting behind and writing in Sashay? I think it will help somehow but  can not measure your input. Now you guys are far from Nepal, avoiding the changes, enjoying western lifestyle and want to live in past. I think you are the one need to grow and open your horizon and vision. Instead of thinking what was good in Kingship, think of new and how we can  contribute directly or indirectly to improve it. This blog is not different than a “ kothe rajniti” .

You wrote" I would ask him to spent those huge sum of money that he has got in his posession to upgrade the living standard of a common Nepali Citizen. I would want him to provide them with food clothing and shelter and education. I know he still has got abilities and resources to help  Nepalese living the poverty and backwardness!!. Our country is going from bad to worst day by day and if no one of our elected Leaders makes some remarkable political change in our country then our future is uncertain." 

My comment on this is, Once he was the king sacked the government and had his ministers and ruled as panchyat system and had ministers from Panchyat era, did he do anything? As syanjali said, rather than increasing his and his families' benefits did not do any thing and now raju161 is dreaming to spend all his money and bring changes. You are just in day dreaming or tying to make a bridge of sand.

Now you are asking somebody to grow up, I think you all need to grow up. raju161 you wrote somebody , unschooled but your language "let me sum it up for these saphead politician's ass worshippers" does not sound much more difference than the unschooled one. I think you have at least undergraduate schooling. Know this, being EDUCATED and being WISE is quiet different thing.

kanchu; I am grateful for the unification and their past vision but we should move as the time has changed, so far I believe we were obligated for theirs  good work and generosity but we should not be for life and they have fully rewarded as being king. 

Somewhere I read " your stubbornness does not make you wise, rather stupidity", I think you folks were too harsh on each other. Some of you asking to grow other, somehow I see they are the one needed to grow first.  It is getting too long, so you all need to grow first. Syanjali said his father was not educated  How about yours, must be in government office holder ? Just curious, if it is, I may have a little different opinion regarding your writing. Why? If your parents were close to the king or was the bureaucrats, were benefited most along with king and your thought processing may be little different than others.
