I am by and large, a active silent reader of this interesting debate going in here. Few I agree and others I choose to disagree; as my conscience and my ability to understand allows me to. I am very curious to know one thing from IF. Please allow me to take this liberty. IF wrote: "Let's just hope, and I do sincerely hope, the Nepali monarchy, the institution that I have immense faith and respect in, will be able to prove itslef (once again.. yet again) that it is for the people. " 1) On what basis/foundation you have this immense faith in monarchy? Is it simply because you feel the need for the institution at this chaotic juncture, to guide or at least do 'something' in these turbulent times, or is it simply becasue you feel it IS THE institution that Nepal's future lies in, for a infinite time? 2) Is Nepal's monarchy for the people? Do you think it is even By the people? If yes, Why? Or are you saying that monarchy is far more concerned about the people than the political parties (Maoist Excluded simply becasue they are terrorist. Period.(My view)), relatively speaking. I am very interested to know your views on this one. In the mean time, I personally believe absolute/active monarchy with with such an influnce on the army and constitution in general is not what I believe in. FOR NOW, it is our "bhadheta", due to lack of leadership without a single capable person in sight and also because of the inhuman Maoist lurking in the shadow. However, let's say 5-10 years down the line or even as early as 3 years down the line or as soon as possible, I think Monarchy should be ceremonial or at the very very least do not have any direct legal power to master our life; de facto constitutional monarchy is the least we need. I am not saying it will happen, but at least I hope it will. I have 'some' faith in monarchy, simply because I do not trust any other parties. About respect, well, I have that somewhere close to ZERO ( Political [parties are ZERO and Maoist are in negative). Anyways, the bottom line is; everyone is acting for their own self-interest. No one is concerned for Janata or Nepal. Just wanted to inform you about my position so that you would be able to inform me more appropriately. Thank you. -IndisGuise:)
