For a Democratic Republic of Nepal

Paramendra, Nepal far too much fragmented to be a viable Democratic Republic. Too many ethnic races and languages and even religions with little resources to share the same country. Most of the political power in Nepal is controlled by upper-castes and the economy is pretty much controlled by Indian dual citizens. Hence, the hatred for both Bahuns and Indians is emmense. We cannot go on like this. Our situation is similar to former Yugoslavia. We need to be broken up so that we can exercise self-determination. The current Bahun control of the political landscape is not good for the Bhotes or the Madheses. The Madhese control of the economy is not good for the Bahuns or the Bhotes. The Bhote control of the army and tourism is not good for the Bahuns or the Madheses. Lets face it. Nepal was not a country until a King incorporated different kingdoms and tribes into one country. Nepal was founded by the ambitious Monarch who was distrustful of the British-Indians and Mughal-Indians who were sharing the power then. If the Monarchy is eliminated, we will lose the very concept of Nepal. If that is the case, then we should go back to living in different smaller kingdoms and nations with our own people running things without any fear of discrimination.
