I do "celebrate dashain.....and many more festiveles." But I don't know what the hell king has to do with my celebration or for that fact, my culture. Except for the traffic problem whenever they visit shrines in those festivals. "No innocent people died under the king's direct rule." Were you in coma for couple years? Sane people laugh at such a blatant lie. haaa.... Back to condolence issue. I haven't heard king sending condolence to any of his "Raitis". If thousand is the minimum requirement, more than enough people has been killed. But i didn't blame kingn as inefficient just because he didn't showed sympathy toward nepalese but because he didn't have a convincing plan and his PR skill succksss. Anyone can undersatnd why King gave up his stance. It's not the love of the people but it was the last resort to save monarchy. I may be brain washed or not May have herd mentality or not One thing is sure, I am different than you.
