nice writing except that the blame is put on the 'sashak barga'. doesn't come right out and say the obvious. some self censorship right here. can't blame Dipta Shah - he's got to play safe. reads like a writing of somebody who or whose family has always been a beneficiary of the royal regime. cautious writing of this kind is very typical of that class. i give him A++ on the art of 'fence straddling' or 'tight rope walking." he should think about going into politics - a royal summon may come soon if he keeps it up with a promise of a royal jelly. newuser, you call that "... patience of some royalists collapsing..."? you think royalists' eyes have opened up or will they ever - when they stand to gain more with the consolidation of the powers of the royal regime. nepali snow leopard doesn't change its spots overnight or even in its lifetime...although depending on when you spot the snow leopard (morning or noon or evening) one tends to think that its skin color has undergone actual color changes. i think they call that 'iridescence'...don't mistake 'iridescence' for the actual changing of colors. the question is not if royalists are losing patience, so you may leave out the author of this piece out of the equation - the question is whether even opportunistic non-royalists have become royalists with the consolidation of royal powers....
