I have few opinion of my own on this topic. First, time is different now. Absolute power is viewed in negative way in this world. We are in 21st century. But the problem is Nepal is in 18th century. Most of the population in Nepal is uneducated. We are poorer than the poor. We have no resources. Country can't function without foreign aids. I don't blame these politicians being corrupt. It is very natural for humanbeings to be drawn towards money and power. In Nepal, people goes into politics to earn money and get power. Nothing else. So in this situation what other option do we have. We can't trust politicians. So King seems like a better option. He may be corrupt, etc. but he has responsibility of the whole kingdom. Politicians come and go but king is always there. People can always blame him. He has a huge responsibility towards the common people. But at the same time, people involved in party-politics will always critisize the king on his every move. It is simple: his every good move will be viewed as a bad move for politicians. That is as simple as that. Secondly, China is much better option than India for Nepal. Politically, China is not as involved in Nepal as India is. Indians will always try to dominate Nepal. History tells us so. As China is developing so rapidly, we should tag along and have China invest in putting industries in Nepal. Then may be we can finally go in the path of development. No matter who says what, India is and will always remain third world. So I support King's move to support China.
