Be it Gyanendra, Hridayendra, or, for that matter, Paramendra, the world does not need monarchs. Kings are of the past, and if we believe in the present and a brighter future, every country in the world should be governed by the PEOPLE. 1. Economics. Wealth and resources, of which Nepal has dire scarcity, should not be utilized to finance the lives of any individual and/or family. 2. Personality. Gyanendra? Paras? You kidding me? 3. Morality. No person and/or family should be accorded any higher respect than any other citizen by the virtue of their birth, jaat, gottra, kul, or what have you which does little to glorify their INDIVIDUAL deeds. 4. Practicality. The root of abject poverty, deprivation, and that of many other social ills is feudalism. Societies that stand on feudal structures are the ones that are poor, war-ravaged, severely underdeveloped, etc. Monarchy, by the virtue of it's definition and reason d'etre, promotes and consolidates feudalism. The hell with it in the modern world. We can't be living in the 16th century. Period.
