Nepal is gradually becoming a failed state. I agree with that view. But I still believe that, given the size of the country, the political parties should be able to bring the Maoists to the table. Alas, the king does not want to understand the current situation, hence he goes for a coup one after another. What is the result of the last coup? NOTHING... other than letting Girija know how redundant he is. OK the king has the absolute power... now what? When had he not, in effect?
