No body knows where Nepal is heading. Accept it or not,it is driven by Indians so only they know where they will drive it. Regarding Republic, 95% people on the street chanting Republic don't know what republic they are asking. There are different types of republic and republic slogan of Maoist and others varies. Listen to Narhari Acharya, Gagan Thapa, Makune, Lilamani Pokhrel, Prachanda/Baburam, Ram Chandra Paudel and Narayan M. Bijukchhe, all they talk about Republic but they all varies in their defination of republic. This is nothing but the slogan that India asked to use to Maoist and other leaders to threat King and bargain for water and other natural resources.

Amen..
