More then 200 years of royal rule is about to end in Nepal. Prithvi narayan shah United Nepal and since then many thing has happened in this United Nepal. The royal palace has had the direct rule on the country until the revolution in 2005 where king had no other choice then to give the power to the people. Since then the royal palace has been stripped with power and commands to the royal Nepali army. Nepali people seems to be happy with it, and the politicians are in a hurry of changing the Nepal’s logo, national anthem and the governments name before even restoring peace across the country and creating a new government. Yes every thing has changed in Nepal and, it seems like these new leaders have now something new to play with and to celebrates. Bring their new dreams to reality. But History is also something we should keep. King Gynendra is the most unpopular king in our history, and crown prince Paras is even more unpopular. There is no way any Nepali would accept King Gynendra or his descendent in Nepal’s thrown. Late king Birendra on the other hand was a very popular king, loved by people. People would have accepted Brirndra as a king and head of the state, and perhaps Nepal would still have a royalty. To all Nepali people and politicians, why not change the law and make the 5 year old daughter of late princess Sruti (Birendra’s daughter) head of the state; Crown her, First ever Queen of Nepal. I am sure Nepali people would accept Birendra’s descendent in the thrown of Nepal, and investigate the royal massacre of June 2001 and bring the guilty party to justice. (We all know who did it, and who was behind it.) The royal palace should not have any influence in politics what so ever. They are only to be the representative of Nepal and head of the state. Keeping Nepal’s history alive. This way Nepal will have a women as a head of the state, an example for the most of the world that we Nepali are not backwards. And a queen fighting for women’s rights in Nepal would just something. Let New Nepal's government fire king Gynendra and his descendent and Crown the descendent of Birendra instead, so the royal palace still represents the various cast, culture, language, and races of Nepal as one binding knot. Jai Nepal
