Did french destroy the palace of Versailles? French kings were notorious for keeping their peasants poor by hefty taxes while living in one of the most lavish palaces in the world.French revolution was the bloodies of all revolutions and that changed the entire western civilization. France is dotted with many palaces and castles that are still well preserved. Why? Because it is their history. It is an integral part of their country. You've got to know where you come from to know where you are heading so that you don't end up going in circles and arrive at the same place where you started. Besides french generate tons of tourist revenues from their palaces.

People like Bairaghi and Bittertruth can say whatever they want, but it is clear that they have not read nepalese hsitory. Nepal as we know today was a work of few of Shah kings.

By the way, what should we do with Rana palaces? Since Ranas kept all nepalese in dark by forbidding education, should we not destroy all of their palaces?
What about Hindu temples? Hinduism is soaked with caste system and discrimination. Should we destroy all hindu temples?

@Bittertruth, how can you be worried about Nepal ceasing to exist in future when you have an extremely leftist attitude of destroying any historical landmark that symbolizes the unity and sovereignty of a nation? It is in fact an attitude like this that pushes a country even further to its own dissolution.
