Hats off to you Binnet. I agree with you. Monarchy has a history of more than 200 years but the political history of Nepal is just 50-60 years. Political parties are just amateurs not real players, so it is anybody's guess- Who will have the more patriotism or love for the country? What morachy needs is best advisors, well educated, sensible, patriotic, action oriented people who care for the country not like Kamal Thapa and gangs who are ready to break up the party unity for the sake of post, power. Maoists are not the people to be fully trusted--anyhow their main goal is to set up republical state no matter what. They killed people merciless which is very abominable to human nature, but for what---for power to lead the country--HUh Is that the way to lead the country by killing maiming terrorising suppressing looting poor uneducated rural people. We can atleast protest against King but not maoists even now. so gues what will happen if they came into power--communist state like china, no protests, censorship,etc, etc, torture, restriction,. Anyway thanks Matyangro
