At a time when political parties fail to draw flies and resort to threat from Maoists for public participation in demonstrations, the King's surprise visit to Dharan was welcomed with much enthusiasm. Just look at the video, which starts from a few bewildered spectators slowly but surely giving way to a much much louder crowdm, who go on to chant slogans like Long live the King spontaneously. You can see the King itneracting with the people on the streets and it shows just how much respect he commands in Nepalese community.

look
i dont think any true anti-monarchist questions gyane's brains or his courage
what we question are his intentions

a man who appropriates a barely surviving government agengy (RNAC) for state visits and thus inflicts millions of dollars worth of damage is resourceful, yet not benevolent

this is the man who dismissed a elected government and now is holding the sham of elections (at the local, district levels, yet NOT NATIONAL GOVERNMENTAL LEVELS). Aah, the facade of democracy. and yet the central government is firmly under his rule

this is the man who replaced existing supreme court justices with those who publicly declare him to be an avatar of vishnu. well, gotta give him props on that one. like krishna, the dude is utterly adept at creating a maya-jaal

but the thing is

no matter how clever
no matter how courageous
no matter how resourceful our beloved king is

HE IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY

so down with the man
and down with the institution
coz we can be sure, if king G has his way
then PARAS will inherit the throne

and all yall who watched the video and felt that fuzzy warm feeling
think about king paras
and riddle me this
is that the warmth of comfort and security that you feel creeping up your spine
or is it spasms of horror?

Ma ta nepali, you are absolutely right. There should be not be an ounce of doubt that the King and the institution of monarchy was, is and will be loved and respected by Nepalese overwhelmingly. Well, there may be some exceptions, but they are irrelevant. Even Buddha had some opponents, so its all natural that a few percentage of Nepali may dislike King G.

And about your question as to what would happen if the leaders were to walk freely like the king did. The people would spit at the leaders, what else! Paan khayera pichha thukthe ni, aru ke hunthyo ha ha ha!

Yeah and they will still be loving him when they overthrow him and cut him and his chamchas tp pieces and make sekuwa and chwela out of them. F***ing losers.

yes
cant be denied
the institution of monarchy is much beloved in our country
how could it not be?

a vast majority of our religious, cultural and mythical heroes are kings

from raja ram and krishna to the myriad princes of the bedside tales
our culture has been fed a diet of king-worship
which makes it all the easier for the darth vaders to sieze overlordship over a population who have been programmed to believe that vishnu resides inside of paras

which is exactly why the institution of monarchy MUST BE TOPPLED. history has shown us that we cannot trust our kings to sit back, relax and let the population choose their own course of action

from mahendra's abolition of democracy to set up the panchyat system to kg's current role in the dismantling of an elected government, we have ample proof that if there is one thing we can trust the palace to do, it is to interfere in the nepali government so that their power base remains secure

how long are we supposed to grovel before a murderer?
how long is the common labourer supposed to sweat so that the शाछ्यात अवतार can take a state-owned airplane for a joyride?
why should there be a king?
what qualities does he possess that i (or for that matter, you, bhoonte dai) do not have?

down with monarchy
down with the king

> i dont think any true anti-monarchist questions gyane's brains or his courage ..

I rest my case.

I have to agree that the king is getting a very good review in the papers about his unplanned visit and the support he was able to get at that time.

mr? ms? eyes
lets not quote out of context
its like someone said 'that movie is as good as a rotten egg' and the producers say they got a 'good' review

courage and brains are not a good thing when coupled with a lack of scruples

Of course 8-), Nepalese people need peace as accurately depicted in the cartoon.

Thats the reason Nepalese people have lost faith in the selfish leaders who are now supporting Maoists. That is why they saw the ray of hope in the KIng and showed so much enthusiasm when he personally appeared at their doors.

so how is KG contributing to peace?

Much ballyhoo is being made of the royal visit to eastern Nepal. I think the conclusions drawn from the visit are pretty misplaced, and even the King (who is a very smart man) himself knows this.

After the fall of Paris, Napoleon Bonaparte entered Paris with his army. Oceans of defeated people lined up to see Napoleon, their new master. Napoleon's aide who was accompanying him remarked glowingly: Your Lord, you see, so many people have turned up to welcome you. They love you! There must easily be at least 50,000 people in the crowd. Napoleon thought pensively for a while and retorted: Don't be stupid! The day I'm hanged, three times that number will turn up!

Such was Napoleon's genius!!!
........

The moral of the story: self-proclaimed monarchists like bhoonte and his like are a shame to the cause of monarchy. They are merely embarrassing the institution of monarchy with their half-baked views, which smack of sycophancy. They belong to the same category of people who dragged the institution of monarchy into controversy, sullied its image, and created the divide between the people and the institution of monarchy in the first place. There is no doubt people love the king, but it's the sycophants who surround the king that they hate. The sycophants' only aim is to gain at monarchy's expense.

Frankly, not half baked sycophantic views such as those espoused by Bhoonte and his like who are only embarrasing the institution of monarchy, but only penetrating analysis can help strengthen it (institution of monarchy) by pointing out where this revered institution's gone wrong and how it can be corrected to restore people's faith in it. Criticising the institution of monarchy for all its recently-acquired faults is not an anti monarchy position: it's a public service! And this fact is very much misunderstood by many Sajhaites, with the result that sycophants are on the ascendancy in this forum.
