Your arguments have some point but it all boils down to like keeping the cat (who steals milk from the kitchen every now and then) to get rid of the irritating mice. Why not stop relying on the betraying cat and start dealing with the ambiguously intended mice, face to face, for a change? On a serious note, I feel that monarchy has been the biggest representation of the social disparity that we have in out country. It all starts and/or ends there right in the palace. We, have been so innately used to stooping in front of the so called "thula thaala" of the society that we disagree to exist without them. Let's have a belief in ourselves and let's stop depeding on the instiution run by a single person. If we, 26 million heads, can act together then we don't need to rely on the likes of G. Shah to come and act as a savior in time of crisis. I don't blame you, our social structure and upbrining is such that we deny to exist independently. Let's break the shackle now and be INDEPENDENT.
