A letter to my friend in Nepal who wants to go to “Andolan” but, really doesn’t know why he’s going for.
HellO friend....... I can understand ur sentiment BUT I personally do NOT hate monarchy.. I believe there should be a constitutional monarchy and WE DO NEED A KING. Even though I hate King Gyanendra and his descendent Paras, I believe NEPAL DOES NEED A KING.... I mean I do Not Like this "raja" But I do want "Rajsanstha In Nepal"... So the monarch should not be ousted but the power should be controlled or paralyzed or lets say neutralized.
We are the only Hindu KINGDOM in the world. We regard king as god and that's where all our uniqueness lies... That’s what we are proud about.. We are diverse and "Rajasanstha" stands there as a common umbrella for our diversity and culture.. No matter what race we’re from we respect "rajsanstha" and bow our head in front of it. Had King gyanendra not been in Power and a nice guy like Birendra was out there than we would have thought the other way. Hope u understand me. So what I believe is that king should have no power and hence he ought to DO NO MISTAKES and he's to stand there NOT as a political figure BUT as a cultural aspect to add a religious and historical touch to our rich CULTURE.....Can we imagine a gaijatra without a king . Well I don’t know about u but I can’t. I can’t imagine Dashin without Kings message to the nation and Shivaratri without the king visiting Pashupatinath. I can’t imagine Buddha jayanti without king’s message. I can’t imagine my Himalayan Kingdom with just Himalayan Dom. To recognize Nepal as a sovereign, peace loving, independent, culturally rich, diverse and yet a united nation; we do need a neutral King.
And To whom is the “andolan” for... Is it for those political assholes like xxxxx and stuff who ruined my country... Who sold the water to India and exchanged the banks of My Holy Bagmati for black money.. Is it for those assholes who sold my trees, my animals, my herbs and my pride? And made my mother, my nation cry.. Is this bloody “andolan” again for those assholes to rise into power and ruin my country further. No... We need to "NEUTRALIZE THE MONARCH" and search for a new leader ship who'd lead the country to a new phase of progress... This potential manpower should come from u guys, NOT from those political assholes....
So I believe in a CONSTITUIONAL MONARCHY WITH A NEUTRAL KING AND WAHTEVER FORM OF DEMOCRACY. I’m not a political analyst and all to give an appropriate term but I jotted down whatever was flowing inside me.
The guys fighting out in the streets are not fighting for u... They don’t know whom they are fighting for. They are fighting because they have nothing else to do as they are struck by unemployment. When the matter of gaining power comes, the same old political assholes are getting the power and they are going to repeat those same bloody shit again that they did a couple of years ago.. Whoever goes out in the streets are foolish.. They are fighting for political assholes... U should fight for yourself .. Not for Political parties.. Tell that u want a NEUTRAL KING AND A NEW LEADERSHIP.. Not those asshole again.. And well with this “andolan” fuelled by those dirty Politicians, the price in Katmandu is skyrocketing.. Mother is forced to buy salt at Rs.100 per kg because her son is obstructing the roads by burning tires from where the supplies would come.. And it's not affecting the King... He has enough access for the salt and it doesn't affect those dirty asshole politicians either who have already earned enough black money to buy salt at Rs.100 per kg. So it’s only those helpless Nepalese without any access who have to feed on rotten curry without salt tonight.

Ur views would help me know something more about this

oh well...............not a bad theory.................. but when it comes down to economy king ang monarch is just a liability to nepal. 70 crore is his bhatta............... make ur calulation the the country with around US $ 10 billion of economy .that is 0.01% of our entire ecomony...mind thats just his bhatta............. 19.6% of budget has been spend on defence........................ nepali janta le ta protection paka chhainan ta.............. too much of expenditure to support one family................and in such a poor country.............with a per capita of US $ 220.........ma ta teti pisa ma 2 hapta pani bachdina................people are being forced to suport their entire family..khair thats just an average.................coz in ktm u need lot more than that to suport ur family ................ that means people are surving with even lesser money elsewhere in villages. And rajalai bhatta dita.......those people too have to chip in and lots of them........king is too costly.............too too too costly

Sathi !
it's too difficult for us to tolerate king.I think,if we use the money and the resources used by king wisely to the Nepali people,millions of people can live a prosperous life.

Well... if king is neutralized than the act which prohibits the general people to speak against the Royal Family and Royal Income could me changed, allowing the people to speak against Royal Income in the court. Then the court could decide how much money to give to the king according to his requirements. Remember, maintaining Pahupatinath and rennovating Hanuman Dhoka also costs money. With this money, we would be able to feed all the beggars out there.. This doesn't mean that we go destroy every aspect of culture that requires money. Changes should be made for controlling overexpenditure. Compromise is required.

Agree with Naam_nai_bhetina:

The royal expenditure is outrageous....How in the hell Paras was able to spend 6 million on his personal trip to Aurtralia to deliver a rhino...and a disco party in France......and his personal vacation all over............Those expenses should be accounted for.....Furthermore, all the bank accounts of late King and Queen should be made public, and investments in should be spent on public infrastructure....(well...all the infrastructure that got destroyed by this strikes and stuff).....

Serious typo guys,
I meant to say the bank accounts should be made public and the money collected should be spent on public infrastructure........I am sure we can have 5 Melamchi projects done with that kinda money !
