I agree with Gwajyo when he/she states that with democracy and corrupt leaders at lead, we could at least hope for them to be replaced unlike with Monarch, but only if Maoists had been out of the equation. When we get into the “prajatantra”, “ganatantra” or “rajtantra” talks, we always somehow forget about the third and major force in political turmoil which is Maoists. We are caught up between figuring out who is better, the King or the democratically elected leaders. Let’s not forget that Maoists are still in the equation. We waited for 15 years to see if the corrupt leaders who were democratically elected would be replaced by good ones. It never happened. We could have waited for longer, but the threat and terror of Maoists grew stronger and stronger. The inept leaders nearly plunged the country to give it to the Maoists forever to turn it in to a communist state run by terrorists. The king then stepped in. Now I am not sure, if Maoists were tactfully created by the king to come back to power but we could leave that doubt aside as a mere speculation. Hence, the power hungry, money thirsty, corrupt, illiterate, undiplomatic, visionless leaders gave birth to Maoists during their rule of 15 years. Now tell me, had these leaders worked for the people, and for the progress of the country, would we have seen the uprising of Maoists or the takeover of the King? I doubt.
