Nice info newuser: Looking at the present scenario what are the best possible options; go all out against the monarchy once an for all, give the king the benefit of doubt and wait for three years he has asked for; toe the same mob violence and riots as dictated by the equally if not more responsible so call misguiders of democracy. However, regarding the palace massacere that was a big blow but if a king and prince do not know conspiricy against them and fall prey to it, well, well how could they have protected the rest. For Paras's misadventures that may be one chink in the armour which will compell the king (if he has any other intention) to restore back the rights of the masses. Till then, as the king said the country is in my responsibility now, hope new generation leaders will come up and say ok now our shoulders are strong enough to take over the responsibility from you, thank you for restoring peace and bringing in order a system of corruption free govermence and opportunity for everyone regardless of caste, creed, religion, gender, social and economic status and ethnicity to participate in the nation building. Thank you for safeguarding the national identity and national interests and initiating sustainable development in all sphere of life of the common man. I hope this day will come sonner the better, in the next few months, years not beyond that. The risk taken to bring the house in order is pretty high, and failing to achieve the objective and ill intentions will only led to addition of one more chapter in the history of Nepal. In this circumstance, I feel the king should be given a benefit of doubt and his achievements and moves monitores and assisted where ever necessary to achieve the common goal and at the same time responsibility and power shifted from his shoulder to those of the real representatives of the people. In the meantime the censorship and blanket restriction on communication and other basic human rights should be immediately restored back and replaced by best alternative way to restore law and order in the country. The maoists should also decide what they want to do, one time they say they want to talk to the king next they say no; say and do the same thing not change stance like Makuni. If an all out war is the best option, then also draw the line between do and don't of the rule of the war and fight in the right sprit like Mahabharata. Being KaleKrishna (albeit a Kaliyugi), I will always side with Dharma and righteous, hence those sakunis and others conspiring beware sudharshan can fly any time.
