It was shrewness of Gyanendra that made him bow down before April 25th. If he had not done so then the power of the mob would have taken over and there would have been a bloodbath and the end to the monarchy. Which would have consequently resulted in the Maoist manifestation. Thankfully the king saved his ass and saved a lot of bad things from happening in NEpal. At this junction, we need to slowly sideline the King's powers and slowly build a more democratic Nepal. Here are some things that we shhould work towards: - Reduce Kings powers - no more his majesty's government but nepal government - no more going to royal palace for major political oath takings - no more grandiose salary for the royal family. They should be given as much as the Prime Minister makes if we have to give any. - no tax breaks for them. If they want to compete in business let them compete as normal citizens - If respectable Prime Minister of Nepal does chamcha giri with the king, that traitor needs to be fired - Change national anthem from the bada maharajadhiraja to more down to earth ideals. - Fire all the top ranking officials in the Army and the Police they are all King's cronies. Feel free to add more..
