It's sad that people stoned at the escorts of king's car. We're creating this bad culture. But I'm still against monarchy system. It just creates slavery. I don't want to sing the song or anthem saying that king is on my head and I put my head on queen's foots (I heard this from Bhutanese song, youtube video, posted by I_nepali). We had many patriotic songs made like that. King and the whole royal people never give damn about the poor people. They just never cared, and are never going to care. I've never heard king helping poor people. Whenever some news get published about poor people asking for help either from diseases, or children's conditions or others, they just turned blind. But people of Nepal always gave donations and tried to help them. The government also didn't do much. A classic example of it is government's decision to provide 2 crore for helping wealthy person like king's sister. It's just enough, and we need a change. From Prithvi Narayan shah's time, I've not heard single time king going to help people. I'm against monarchy.

Golden Tar Heroin and the Black Prince The Drug Trail Ends in Kathmandu By JOSEPH PIETRI http://www.counterpunch.org/pietri03012005.html I first went to Nepal in 1970 it was the end of the now famous Hippie Trail that started overland from either Amsterdam or London. Buses full of Hippies would disembark at the end of New Road and to this day this street is called Freak Street. Nepal was Hippie nirvana being that marijuana and hashish were legal and sold openly in Government licensed shops! At the time there were no opium dens in Kathmandu nor is opium grown or heroin produced in Nepal! There was no such thing as a Nepalese junkie. Cannabis was only illegal to export and Hippies caught at the airport were fined $100 USD and deported on the next flight out of Kathmandu. The King Mahendra died in 1972 and his son Birendra ascended to the throne and I remember the most solemn ragas that mourned the old King's passing on Radio Nepal. Who can forget the huge procession to Pashupatinath Temple where the King was cremated, or the bizarre ritual of a Brahman priest taking over the bad karma of the King and even getting a share of his earthly possessions and then being banished from the Kingdom on a Royal elephant. I left for India in 1973 just before Cannabis prohibition in Nepal. Richard Nixon and his recently formed DEA paid the new king 50-70 million dollars to outlaw pot--his in a Hindu country where everyone must take cannabis once a year on Lord Shiva's birthday. Hippies were deported to India. It was a sad day on Freak Street. I returned to Nepal in 1981 and to my amazement the country now had a heroin problem. Hashish was 20-30 times more expensive than in 1970 and a very cheap and low grade of smokable heroin was now making the rounds. The Nepalese, not really knowing the difference between brown sugar heroin and marijuana, were easily seduced by smack. Not only that but Double UO Globe Brand heroin was available for export the finest Golden Triangle heroin made. Heroin was now being imported from Burma and brought overland from East Nepal on Army and Police trucks by the Royal Family. The Royals control every aspect of the black market in Nepal. What was once Hippie Nirvana was now a major heroin hub. Sometime in 1983 my Nepali partner and I were invited to lunch at one of the Ministers' homes. There over lunch and drinks he explained that for the first time in the history of Nepal the Royal Nepalese soccer team was going to compete at the Olympics in Los Angeles the next summer. He said was working with Prince Gyanendra who was in charge of the Olympic committee. Due to my long history in Nepal they felt I could handle the merchandise they were sending along with the team. I took it for granted that they were talking about 150 kilos of hashish. He then spoke to my associate in Nepalese and then talked directly to me that their intentions were to send 150 kilos of heroin to LA. My first thought was to look over at my Nepali associate and tell him that whatever he promised these people to forget it. I explained to the Minister it was impossible and managed to squirm my way out of there. When I got back home my old pal Patrick came by and I told him what had happened. Patrick says that if I would have gone along with the Minister's proposal, I would have ended up in prison or dead. I was being set up as a fall guy for the Royal Family. The Black Prince, as he was known around Kathmandu, had once been stopped with a bunch of his cronies trying to lift the kneeling Malla King Statue in Patan (a national treasure) with a crane! The policeman who stopped this theft was "disappeared", but the statue stayed a top its pillar, and the Black Prince was sent packing to Europe. A bitter rivalry existed between King Birendra and his brother Gyanendra that went back to the 1950s when King Mahendra and the Crown Prince fled to India fearing an assassination attempt and left Gyanendra in Kathmandu as the defacto king. Upon returning to Nepal, it went back to the status quo. Gyanendra has always felt he would have made a better King than his drunkard brother. During the 1980s and the introduction of brown sugar heroin into Nepal one of the casualties was the Crown Prince, who was rumored to having been sent to rehab in Switzerland. In 1984 the Nepalese Soccer team was detained at LAX carrying that 150 kilos of pure heroin. It was quick news as it disappeared instantly from the media and was never talked about since. A year later bombs went off in the lobby of the Annapurna Hotel (Royal Family owned) at the palace gates as well as other government buildings, apparently in retaliation for the mess in LA. In 1986 Henry Kissinger and a group of narcotics agents come to Kathmandu for a SAARC conference. The agents bought 2 kilos of pure heroin on the back streets of Asan Tol market with traveler checks! These two kilos they threw down on the desk of Inspector General of Police D. B. Lama and threaten to cut off all aid to Nepal. The agents produced a list of all the people who were involved in the Cannabis trade who still lived in Nepal. Soon wany Westerners with private vehicles or extended Visas were rousted. Overnight the jails swelled with Westerners and Nepalese most of whom were not involved in the heroin trade. Nepalese and Westerners were tortured into confessions. D.B. Lama was one of the front men for the Royal Family heroin trade, sort of a sticky wicket, but I escaped the inquisition to Bangkok and did not return to Nepal until 1988. The inquisition was still going on so I left for good. D. B. Lama the Inspector General of Police had been arrested. They found the pipes in his house were pure gold painted over gray to resemble pipe and boxes of foreign currency. I guess they traced old Henry the K's traveler checks back to the Inspector General of Police himself and the Royals were forced to sacrifice D. B. Lama. Student demonstrations for democracy, the Monarchy's medieval repressive tactics and the attention it got around the world finally brought 30 years of absolute rule to an end and in 1990 King Birendra reinstated multi-party democracy in Nepal. A treaty was signed with Pakistan and flights now come in from Karachi. Military ties were initiated and with that Afghan heroin is now available by the ton in Kathmandu. Nepal has become a major player on the global heroin trade. Democracy brought a succession of governments that throughout the 1990's were marked by one being more corrupt than the last. In 1996 the Maoists took to the field and it's been a bloodbath ever since with nearly 12,000 killed and disappeared as of this writing. King Birendra never unleashed the Royal Nepalese Army against the Maoist's and the gains they made led to the Royal massacre of June 1, 2001. Everyone in the way of the Black Prince becoming king was killed. Most media today refer to it as the shoot out at the palace! It was a coup d' etat engineered by the Prince and the Royal Army with the blessings of outside interests. I was told that the Crown Prince was executed at the Balaju army barracks where he had run to escape the assassinations. Very few Nepalese believe the official account and the Crown Prince was an easy patsy due to his long time heroin addiction and alcohol problems. There was no way that the Black Prince would allow the junkie Crown Prince to ascend to the throne if his brother should die suddenly, and the King had health problems due to his alcohol abuse. The Military felt the same way and the Black Prince is now the King of Nepal and the iron rule of his father has returned. The events of September 11th altered the equation as Nepal joined the war on terror and allowed B-52's to fly over the nation on their bombing runs into Afghanistan. The King declareed the Maoist movement terrorists and now receives unprecedented support from the US, UK, and India. American and British Special Forces train the Royal army. The King hired 400 private mercenaries, who now lead the Royal Army into battle. What has the Black King promised the Bush Administration for US support? The Nepalese Royal Family has a long history of involvement with the CIA. Through out the 1960s and 1970s the CIA maintained a secret base at Lo Mustang on the Tibetan plateau bordering China. This was the jumping off point for CIA-trained Tibetan Khampa guerillas fighting the Chinese. Today they are building a road from the Indian border to Lo Mothang and it's quite obvious that once again it will be used as a forward base. At this point the Maoist control 85 percent of the countryside and five districts outright in Western Nepal. Peasant women, tired of being sold to brothels in India, comprise 40 percent of the arms-carrying cadre. A free election would bring Socialism to Nepal and if the people could they would vote the King to be gone! The Maoist movement is a Nationalist movement of people who are awakening from 250 years of feudalism! The one road from the Indian Border town of Birgunj to Kathmandu is easily shut down by strikes called by Maoist's! The Royal Army is reduce to guarding Kathmandu and other major border towns and protecting the convoys of supplies that keep Kathmandu alive. On February the 1, 2005, the Black King dismissed the government and declares a state of emergency. He then suspended telephone, internet, and air links, effectively cutting off Nepal from the rest of the world. The Black King assumeed total power and suspended constitutional freedoms of press, speech, and expression, constitutional protection against news censorship and preventative detention! Hundreds were jailed, leaders of all major political parties were put under armed house arrest. Students protesting the King in Pokhara were fired upon from helicopters and 20 were wounded. The iron fist rule of his father has returned. Once Time magazine came out with a report critical of King Mahendra. When the magazine arrived at the news stand in Kathmandu that page had been completely blacked out. Hitler, Stalin, Saddam had absolute power and now the Black King, Every since the massacre at the palace they have been trying to clean Gyanendra's image internationally by blaming the heroin trade on his younger brother who was also killed at the palace. The facts are that Gyanendra and his Uncle, who owned the Annapurna hotel, have been heavily involved in the heroin trade going all the way back to the 1960s. Nepal today is 8 times poorer than in 1970. How can that be with all the foreign aid, the carpet industry, textile industry, tourist industry? Think Marcos, for years the Royal family has siphoned off from every dollar coming into Nepal. Nepal is a classic example of failed American foreign policy and how we create terrorism. Today we are supporting a heroin dealing despot king and again killing people who can't afford shoes in the mountains and jungles of Nepal. Joe Pietri author The King of Nepal.

When the Nepalis Know the Truth, They'll Hate Us Murder at the Palace By JOSEPH PIETRI What really happened the night of June 1, 2001 at the Palace? Was the coup engineered by the Bush administration? In the days before the massacre a team of Muscular Americans were observed at the Hyatt Hotel in Boudha. They told everyone that they were their building a hospital in Patan but in the days after the massacre they left Nepal never to be seen again. It was reported that the Black Prince was in Pokhara taking care of his conservation projects. The reality is he was at the Kathmandu airport awaiting the news of his coup. The Crown Prince was all ready arrested and taken to Balaju Army barracks. Prince Paras and Military Officers carried out the assassinations at the Palace. There was a tremendous shoot out at the Palace between King Birendra's staff and Paras and his assassins. Helicopters were observed all night taking bodies of Birendra's staff and dumping them in rivers along the border. This I know as well: anyone having any first hand knowledge of this is either dead or out of Nepal. Those who did make it out live in fear. Gyanendra waited at the airport while Paras did the dirty work and in case the coup did not succeed he planned on escaping from there. The Crown Prince was kept alive until after his father was killed. Then he was executed by the military. He was kept as a bargaining chip by the Military Officers involved in the coup in the case it did not succeed they would bargain the Crown Prince's life for exile. Were the Americans just observers, or did they take part in this obviously well engineered plot? The British and the Indian governments must have been in on it as well, but made sure they distanced themselves from the actual event. After all India is a Hindu country and Birendra a Hindu king, and there is a long relationship between Nepal and England and both royal families. King Birendra never unleashed the Royal Nepalese Army on the Maoists and the gains they made led to the Coup. Gyanendra had the support of the military and the blessings of the Bush and Blair administrations as well as the Indian Government. Again they are now building a road from the Indian border to Lo Mothang. Lo Mothang on the Tibetan plateau bordering China was the jump off point for American-trained Tibetan guerillas fighting the Chinese. The CIA maintained a base there throughout the 1960s and 1970s--the Tibetan plateau being perfect for a forward airbase against China in the future. Gyanendra is the Saddam Hussein of Nepal who killed his own brothers and family so he could be King. It's time for the awful truth to be known and our Governments part in it must be exposed. This is another chapter in our bloody history and again we have supported a heroin-dealing murderous despot/king/dictator. I will all ways love Nepal and have many fond memories of my youth there and I am ashamed of what is obviously my own country's hand in this murderous affair in the land of Lord Buddha. American foreign policy has ruined Nepal. The thought of B 52s based in the land of temples makes me shudder. This is how we create Osamas; this is how we create terrorism; this is how we create hatred for America. Say what you must against Birendra, the Nepali people loved their King and Queen and when they come to know the truth they will hate us for our part in this tragedy, Jai Nepal! Free Nepal!

I don't believe Kantipur as well. It is a commercial newspaper it post whatever it has interest on but never leak news that is against its interest. As far as The Praise of Political parties and Curse on king is concerned, I say that A man can be good or bad but an institution is not. If u have good system no one can mesh the country. There was not proper system in Nepal so this thing happened. Along the rule of political parties, they never went on making the rule systematic they only quarelled and passed the bills that were of interest to India. Killing people is not solution Killing the ignorance is solution. Removing the king is not a solution Having the institution under proper system is athe solution.

Krishna Sitaula is also a Bahun I believe; I wonder why is he not begging front of Pashupatinath. What is he doing on the electromagnetic chair that he is unable to get off even after killing 35 Madhesis. I think think guy will follow Prachanda and Babu Bhaiya in Hell. FKKUUKK Bhaun and Screw Newar. If we have to make Nepal better, ERADICATE them live POLIO. If this will be New Nepal, I say, FKUUK Nepal, Jai Madesh!

U r a rotten fish in a pond and a shame on a name of hindu. Hindu is the religion of brotherhood and u r spoiling its name. U need to cure urself first and then point on others. Forgiveness is another characteristics that hinduism teaches. People spill what they have in. U r filled with poison my fren get an antidote. Spread love. Try to be lotus that grows on mud, Try to be rose that smiles in between the thorns and spread the fragrance, the fragrance of love. May god bless ur soul. I think now I sound like a pastor or a maulana or a mahatmaa.

Might be my level of understanding is not as great as urs But I am content with what I have known. Might be I am a bit diluted becoz I have studied Kuran and Bible as well. Religion was made by people who were in search for peace. People go to temple, or church or mosque because being there brings in them the peace and harmony for which people always run after. U have that in ur heart. Find urself within u. U r good. respect ur country, respect urself. I know u have this harsh sayings becoz u are not satisfied with the system. There is nothing wrong with country. Nothing wrong with brotherhood. Good night bro. I might not be able to c ur comment now. Have a good one.

I just couldn't believe that the consumption of electricity by the palace equals to that of the six districts in Nepal, they don't have to through loadshedding, and on top of that, they don't even pay the bills?I guess these are the reasons we should get rid of monarchy. http://www.mysansar.com/?p=1455#more-1455

He was setting as an example to everyone. I read the article about reducing the consumption of electricity in BBC the other day. It says that Nepal should follow the examples from Australia, and other cities in Europe, where they're trying to reduce the electricity consumption by awareness. Even in Mumbai, they're making the campaigns. There was also an interview of some one Nepal Electricty Authority and said the loadshedding could be avoided if the wasting of electricity could be reduced. But when the king, government offices are themselves setting as examples, when will the public start getting realized and change their behaviors. Just by creating people aware of energy reduction, and by changing the traditional bulbs to fluorescent lights can save the energy very signficantly. People would agree to it if it helps to reduce their bills, and government should also take the initiative as well to reduce the tax or do something to change these bulbs into fluorescent lights. So this exactly applies, we're poor because we chose to be so. So-called experts are going for expensive options like other hydropower projects, I don't mean that it shouldn't, but in the mean time, they can also go with other options. The following article says all: अंध्यारोबाट उज्यालो तर्फ नविनसिंह खड्का बीबीसी नेपाली सेवा किफायती चिमको प्रयोगले विद्युत उर्जा खपत कम हुनेछ किफायती रूपमा उर्जा खपत गर्न हालै युरोपेली संघका नेताहरू सहमत भएका उपायहरूमध्ये एउटाले नेपालमा विद्युत आपूर्तिमा कटौति गरी लोडशेडिङ्को समस्यालाई न्यूनीकरण गर्न सहयोग पु-याउन सक्ने देखिएको छ। उर्जाको आपूर्तिमा भन्दा पनि त्यसको मागको व्यवस्थापनमा जोड दिइएको सो उपाय अपनाइए लोडशेडिङ् नै गर्न नपर्ने पनि हुन सक्ने विज्ञहरुको भनाइ छ। उनीहरू यदि युरोपेली संघका देशहरूले बत्ती बाल्न हाल प्रचलनमा रहेको फिलामेन्ट जडित चिमको सट्टा नयाँ प्रविधिको फ्लूरोसेन्ट चिम प्रयोग गरेर विद्युत खपत घटाउन सक्छन् भने नेपालले पनि त्यसै गर्न सक्ने तर्क गर्छन्। हाल विश्वभरी प्रचलनमा रहेको फिलामेन्टजडित चिमले बढी विद्युत खपत गर्नेहुनाले त्यसलाई कम विद्युत खपत गर्ने फ्लूरोसेन्ट चिमद्वारा प्रतिस्थापन गर्ने सहमति युरोपेली संघका नेताहरूले हालै ब्रशेल्समा सम्पन्न एउटा सम्मेलनमा गरेका थिए। कम खपत अन्वेषकहरूका अनुसार त्यसरी फिलामेन्ट चिमको सट्टा फ्लूरोसेन्ट चिम प्रयोग गरिएमा प्रत्येक घरमा बत्ती बाल्दा ६० प्रतिशत कम विद्युत खपत हुन्छ। त्यस हिसाबले नेपालको जम्मा विद्युत खपतको झण्डै ९० प्रतिशत ठाउँ ओगटेको गार्हस्थ्य उपभोक्ताहरूले फ्लूरोसेन्ट चिमको प्रयोग गरे भने लगभग १२० मेगावाट विद्युत जोगिने अनुमान जलविद्युतविद्हरूको छ। यदि त्यसो हो भने फ्लूरोसेन्ट चिमको प्रयोगले हाल जारी लोड शेडिङ् पुरै हट्न सक्ने देखिन्छ किनभने विद्युत आपूर्ति प्रणालीमा हाल सुख्खायाममा ९० मेगावाट अपुग छ। सो कुराको जानकारी नेपाल विद्युत प्राधिकरणका अधिकारीहरूलाई केही वर्ष अघिदेखि नै थियो। त्यसैकारणले उनीहरूले माग व्यवस्थापनकालागि भनी फ्लूरोसेन्ट चिमको वितरण लगायतका योजनाहरू केही वर्षअघि नै बनाएका थिए। तर सो योजनाका फाइलहरूमा धुलो लागिसकेको र त्यसको कार्यान्वयनमा प्राधिकरण गंभीर नभएको आरोप कतिपय विज्ञहरूले लगाएका छन्। ती मध्ये एक, प्राधिकरणको सन्चालक समितिका पूर्व सदस्य रत्नसंसार श्रेष्ठले बीबीसी नेपाली सेवालाई भने, "यदि प्राधिकरणले आफ्नो गार्हस्थ्य उपभोक्ताहरूमध्ये २५ प्रतिशतलाई मात्र फ्लूरोसेन्ट चिम प्रयोग गर्न विश्वस्त तुल्याउन सक्यो भने १०० मेगावाट बिजुली बचाउन सक्छ। "तर माग व्यवस्थापनको सो उपाय अपनाइएको छैन किनभने कर्मचारीतन्त्रमा जहाँतहीँ देखिए जस्तै प्राधिकरणको पनि ठूलो रकम खर्च गर्न पाइने ठूल्ठूला आयोजनाहरूमा चासो रहने गरेको छ।" प्राधिकरणका अधिकारीहरूका पछिल्ला भनाइहरूले विद्युतको मागको व्यवस्थापन भन्दा पनि आपूर्ति बढाउने कुरामै उनीहरूको बढी जोड देखिन्छ। लोडशेडिङ् हटाउनेबारे बीबीसी नेपाली सेवासितको कुराकानीमा प्राधिकरणका कार्यकारी निर्देशक अर्जुन कार्कीले नयाँ आयोजनाहरुले नै समस्याको समाधान गर्ने बताए। उनले भने, "हामीले आपूर्ति बढाउन ६ वटा नयाँ योजनाहरू छानेका छौं, त्यस मध्ये चमेलिया गाडकोलागि नेपाल सरकार र प्राधिकरणको पैसादेखि दक्षिण कोरिया र ओपेक कोषसँगपनि कुरा भइरहेको छ।" "कुलेखानी हामी आफै बनाउन सक्छौं, माथिल्लो त्रिशुलीकालागि चीन सरकारसित ऋण लिने बारेमा कुरा निकै अगाडि बढीसकेको छ र राहुघाटलाई हामीले भारतसित लिईने ऋणमा पारेका छौं।" कार्कीले भनेका जस्ता जलविद्युत आयोजनाहरू दीर्घकालीन विद्युत आपूर्तिकालागि अपरिहार्य देखिन्छन्। तर प्राय: विदेशी ऋणमा आश्रित त्यस्ता आयोजनाहरूको निर्माण कार्य अहिले नै शुरू गरिएपनि तिनलाई सम्पन्न गर्न वर्षौं लाग्नेछ। अर्को तर्फ राजनीतिक मुद्धाहरूले सबै ध्यान तानीरहेको वर्तमान परिस्थितिमा लगानीकालागि त्यति उत्साहवर्द्धक अवस्था नरहेको उद्योगी तथा व्यवसायीहरूको भनाइ छ। हामीले आपूर्ति बढाउन ६ वटा नयाँ योजनाहरू छानेका छौं, त्यस मध्ये चमेलिया गाडकोलागि नेपाल सरकार र प्राधिकरणको पैसादेखि दक्षिण कोरिया र ओपेक कोषसँगपनि कुरा भइरहेको छ अर्जुन कार्की, कार्यकारी निर्देशक, नेपाल विद्युत प्राधिकरण नेपाल उद्योग वाणिज्य महासंघका द्वितीय उपाध्यक्ष कुशकुमार जोशीले भने, "विभिन्न मन्त्रालयहरूबीच समन्वयको अभाव र विद्युत खरिद सम्झौता गर्न प्राविधिक तथा कर्मचारीतन्त्रमा देखिएका अप्ठेराहरूका कारण जलविद्युत क्षेत्रमा लगानी गर्न हामी त्यति उत्साहित छैनौं।" प्रभावकारीता नयाँ आयोजनाहरूका सम्बन्धमा देखिएको अनिश्चितता र तिनको निर्माण हुने नै भए पनि त्यसले लिने समयलाई हेर्दा हाल हप्ताको ४० घण्टा भन्दा पनि बढी लोड शेडिङ्को अँध्यारोमा रूमल्लिन बाध्य भएका नेपालीहरूको तत्काल राहतकालागि भने माग व्यपस्थापन नै प्रभावकारी उपाय हुने विज्ञहरूको ठहर छ। त्यस्तो प्रभावकारिता देखेरै अष्ट्रेलियाले सन् २०१० सम्ममा फिलामेन्टजडित चिम पूर्णरूपमा हटाउने निर्णय गरेको छ। त्यस्तै २७ सदस्य राष्ट्र रहेको युरोपेली संघलेपनि सन् २००९ सम्म त्यसै गर्न आवश्यक कामहरू शुरू गरीसकेको छ। सो संघले पृथ्वीको तापमान वृद्धि गर्ने प्रमुख कारक ठानिएको हरितगृह ग्याँस उत्सर्जनमा सन् २०२० सम्ममा २० प्रतिशत कटौति गर्ने उसको प्रतिवद्धता अनुरूप प्रत्येक घरको चिम फेर्न आँटेको हो। तर नेपाललाई सो उपायले भने १३ वर्षपछि नभइ हालकै लोडशेडिङ्को अँध्यारोलाई चिर्न सघाउन सक्ने देखिन्छ। http://www.bbc.co.uk/nepali/news/story/2007/03/070321_darkness_light.shtml

our country the second largest resource of hydro power.........Nepal has the capacity to light up the whole of asia and some of europe.........................yet we live in the dark..........evry time a foriegn country comes up with a proposal.....all the politicians wants a piece of the cake and fight over the contract and permission from India.....so we come to a stage where we have load sheddings and black outs and water crises.... ................................why doesnt the political thugs see what we see in Nepal and what it can be come...rather than going after who is using more electricity than whom. Instead why dont they focus on making enough for all which is right there in front of their blind curropt noses..............................THIS IS ALL A DISTRACTION FROM THE REAL SOLUTION.
