why r u so much into keeping the monarchy. As far i feel there is no use for any monarchy in Nepal. As far as the notion of it symbolizing a united Nepal, representing all Nepali of diff. race, gender and generations is just a lame reason. A governing system that has representative from various race and religion is a far better option. it might seem a bit hard to achieve that rt. now. but it is the right way to go. Yes there are and there will be politicians that will try to use this opportunity. but there will be also good politicians( and future politicians) that will use this opportunity. How can one assume that with monarchy running in nepal there won't be another gyanendra in future??
