I know eventually we will and we will have to get it. But, don?t you think it is the right time to get it and we should get it with in Gyanendra's regime. I am more worried about Parash becoming king.... a person who can not handle the power of crown prince, how will he handle the ultimate power of king. I get chilled to the bone with fear when I think of him ruling Nepal with RNA under his control, his activities so far has already shows he is some one with resemblance to Uday / Kusay Hussain If we do not act soon, then I guess we will either head to more grievous civil war or we will have a ruthless dictator resembling Saddam Hussain ruling us. If we start digging our history and lots of event that palace hid from us we will find that palace has always raised trouble to Nepalese and has always tortured us than working for better Nepal. In history and even in present there have always been some royal members who get obsessed with his power and use it as a mafia leader than a leader of a country. Most shameful fact is our journalist till date try to hide these things than to bring it to everyone attention. Compare the journalism in other kingdoms with our kingdoms; you will see how autocratically it?s being ruled in Nepal. It is this freedom our press has been providing that is making matter worse. I know Nepal did not handle 1990 democracy well, but that does not mean we should push it back to the autocratic system giving king the ultimate power again, this will be insult to the soul of martyrs who gave their life for better Nepal. I think we should move forward not backward. And as far as handling democracy or presidency is concerned, we Nepalese should be equally responsible with our duties, we should check the politician, and we should not let them do whatever they want. If our journalists and civil society as whole do their job being un-biased and with full fledge control we can handle it. I GUESS WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE ON WHETHER WE NEED MONARCHY OR NOT? WE SHOULD ALSO BE ALLOWED TO VOTE ON WHETHER WE WANT TO AMEND CURRENT CONSTITUTION FOR BETTER NEPAL OR NOT? IT IS US WHO SHOULD DECIDE NOT BABURAM OR OUR KING.
