alright. Mr. PearlJam, do you know a bit of nepali history .. if not, lets rewind ... prithivi narayan shah (the uniter of nepal, the ancestor of Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev) proclaimed "nepal chaar jaat chatthis barna ko sajha phulbari ho", now do you know what SAJHA means ? simpler words ma ... SAJHA ... even the uniter of nepal didn't say that it was HIS country . Now, who is Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev to take back HIS power ? who made that power HIS ? Is nepal OUR country or HIS country ? I agree with you that politicians are corrupt in nepal, but that doesn't mean that you take out democracy altogether. Democracy (i'm sorry to defer from the ppl who think otherwise) is right now the best form of government, its not perfect, but its the best among the rest. So, having all panche's as our ministers i dont think will give us democracy . Look at it ... 30 years of panchayat pushed us as far back already ... do you want to be pushed back again ? think abt it ... and DONT forget ... there was a lot if not more corruption in the panchayat kaal then in the 15 years of democracy that we had. We dont know much about it coz it wasn't transparent ... otherwise how on earth are all the panche ministers so rich ? and btw, did you know , when gyanendra took power 2 years ago, he increased the royal family salary by 6 folds, when the family size decreased so much due to the royal massacre. So, pearljam, think abt it ? do you really want a dictator ? cheers, nepaliKoChoro .
