Why save the institution when monarchies had so much opportunities to act but condition of Nepal erroded with their selfishness. We will survive as nation, these tumoils are nothing but after shocks effect. But to ask for the same institution back by not knowing what future holds is childish. World's surving monarchies are there just because they are powerless and looks only good on tabloid stories, otherwise it's a thrown out tradition. What if monarchy is back in nepal without power? nothing good except we will be talking their about Junga(already started), hairstyle, lifestyle, fashion, who dates who etc. And what if they come back with power? well we all know the history.... so stop arguing abount monarchy as symbol of unity as this is just based on brahanissm(not bahunism). To tell you the truth, people who are afraid of nepal later are those who have excess and exploited the system and donot want any change. Middle class or poor people has nothing to afraid as equality is the most sought phenomenon both by capatilism and socialism(in theory). there were two good active "durdarshi" monarchy in nepal, prithivi narayan and Mahendra ( that's right, he was the only one who wanted to get rid of indian influence thus panchayat system (even controvisial) whether you agree or not) but they are being questioned and disrepected time to time and now even vandalised.But two good monarchy in 237 years, that is not a good data to represent. All i ask you is believe in people, don't be so negative, it will be all right and don't try to get back what it didn't workout....establishment of monarcy in afganishtan (as well as in iran) is just a propoganda smeared by the west.l peace......
