King/Monarchy can bounce back in morality vis-a-vis action/inactions of political parties in a year or two. But in actuality, by which I meant, having a tight grip over the matters as he had, is shaken to its core. If political parties goes back to their same old "all too familier," nepotism, corruption, ineptness and shows utter lack of respect to people's aspiration as a developing nation, while balancing national pride, it is bound to happen sonner rather than later. But if they perform their role with dignity and are honest in their effort, the only things that will bounce back in Nepal would be football, basketball and the likes. ;) Grapevine from relatively believable source is, he is going to ceremonial and symbolic but not quite. As long as he knows his limits, and his various "fukad" ko paisa is curbed hemonarchy shall keep his place as showpiece. With the leaders like the ones we have, I think ceremonial monarchy is fine if it helps the politicians to be on their toes. We shall see what the developments are on the ground zero. I just hope that it is not the case of handing over the car key from a drunkard to lunatics. Let's hope for peace and prosperity for Nepal. Who remains and who does not is secondary. Peace, development, rule of law, and eqality hunu parcha, kukur lai pradhanmantri ya president banau baal matlab. IndisGUise:) P.S: I said kukur, not bhusya kukur, mind you. :)
