It is one thing to act towards a revolution, and another to talk or fuss about petty things. What Nepal needs now is guidance, and focus towards a proper plan. For instance, the policies that the new leader should be following would be a nice thing to actually discuss. As far as it comes to changing names, what does having ROYAL in front of the Nepalese Army or not change anything at all? Its the real actions and motive with which it has been taken that should matter most to us Nepalese right now. As far as it comes to claiming Shruti's daughter as the queen, do we want to repeat the whole idea of when Gyanendra was crowned (as a child when Tribhuwan fled to India) and Janga Bahadur ruled on his name trend once again? Moreover, I thought (correct me if I am wrong) the whole idea was to move away from monarchy towards a democratic society. (Please also note that this does not in any way hint towards my personal choice. It is the idea of people who wanted democracy that I am putting forward.) As far as our national anthem goes, I think it symbolizes our history, and what we were, and where we came from. For a lot of us, it is a sense of identity, almost an emotional one for that matter.It should be changed only when the political situation stabilizes, and we know that it is there to stay for sure. Extreme communism through Maoists or Democracy through one of our 7 party? Ahiley ta- everything seems a little haywire?? Am I the only one confused? B.B.
