Please read it before passing comments. With all the hatred and allegations against the king, here's an ironic perspective. How has the King helped Nepal on the same subject he has been criticized for, knowing or unknowingly. * 2007, saved the nation from the Ranas. * 2062-63, was the common cause for Maoist to strike a deal with SPA. Think about it, when the multi-party democracy was in place, they couldn't find any grounds for negotiation with the Maoist. When the King took over, he became the common enemy. When you establsh a common enemy, you have better chances of having a common goal, obviously. But not so fast!! Why did the above points became a fact in the first place? * King saved Nepal from the Ranas, but who was responsible for the plight? Had the kingdom been stronger, no Ranas could have ruled us for 105 years. * Why all the commotion anyways by the Maoist and the people. Even w/o the power, the autocratic shift was felt well before King G. took over. The corrupt beurocracy and inept administration was a trickle down effect of the same old regime. How is that for a spin?
