.a few questions and opinions: The notion of republic is nothing but a reminiscent of the mid 17th century England taken over by the Parliament and beheading of the King, leading the entire British Island to anarchy and chaos, even after the restoration of Monarchy. We shouldn't forget the role(s) the monarchy had in the past, but in such, Nepalese people should just acknowledge the current development, and come to consensus by involving all political ideologies and not alienating pro-monarchist. Very difficult to do, but hey, if it works in Japan, so will in Nepal. Anarchy and lawlessness have already begun, and the day is not far, for us to wonder on our solidarity, when the question of sovereignty arises. When we know, communism doesn't work and the great people's states have collapsed, why would it work in Nepal? Let me assure you, Prachanda is not Mao and neither is he following the Mao's ideology or Lenin's or Marx's. In the past, we have looked upon Monarchy to find solutions to problems caused by the government (e.g., Rana Bahadur, Tribhuvan and Mahendra). We may not the next time, but when it comes, we shall be no more called Nepalese. It would be too late...
