Check out the interview from King Gyanendra. This is the first time that the monarch has given a public interview.
He has positive attitude and looks forward to the better future for the common people. I like it.

This is just an interview. The question is how honest he is in this interview. He is trying to present himself what he is not actually. Guys dont believe 100%. Its not necessary to say what he is.

Looks like you know what the king is? and his intentions? How ironic! Why don't you take time to explain what you mean. I am sure you will not try to blame the mass murder of the late king on Gyanendra. I know you are smarter than that..

Exactly, king didnt had to give a public interview but he did. No matter how hard he will try, people will still throw a stone at him. I see a positive attitude by king by coming on the national t.v. I think he should have more public relation that will certainly remove a gap between raja and praja.

Interview has impressed every one. He is a well trader and I will call it a good customer service. But were are the questions that Nepali people want to know. Who killed Nirajan (I dont care more for Birendra, Dipendra and rest)???? He was the first royalist to participate in public games.
The history will call Parash a successful king, good king and one of us will have to write it so let us not spent our time.

Nepal is bigger than Paras or the king. Nepal is bigger than you and me. You will have to answer to the future generations that why you did not support the king that was trying to do some good to the nation? Don't you think you will look as a villian at that time??

"Nepal is bigger than Paras or the king. Nepal is bigger than you and me."
Couldn't agree more.
"You will have to answer to the future generations that why you did not support the king that was trying to do some good to the nation?"
Or why you supported an instituion that symoblized fuedalism and subordination. Kings who wined and dined while the population did not have enough to eat. Kings who considered their own populations unworthy of a handshake while claiming to be champions of nationalism. An institution that supressed the political and ethnic aspirations of its people. The list is endless. I want future generations to know that I opposed such an institution where members of the Royal family are paid hundreds of thousands of rupees per month as salary by the government just because they were born into a certain family while thousands of fellow citizens have been forced to leave Nepal for India, the Gulf states etc to earn basic wages. The country spends several crores every year in running the monrachywhen people don't have enought to eat. No I donot want to stand up for such an institution.
"Don't you think you will look as a villian at that time?? "
I wonder WHO will look like one - those who supported a fuedal institution or those who opposed it.
Regards.

Only time will tell who is a villain, for sure.
Definitely you will not be one of them as you support the terrorists. Maobad has become a symbol of violence, terror and inhumanity at the present and you expect this will change in the future? Didn't someone famous say that we reap tomorrow what we seep today?
Also there are conflicting statements about the kings of Nepal from your leaders from time to time. Once king birendra became a villain when he was alive and he immediately became a hero after the massacre. Does this tell you something?
I believe that Nepal needs an institution that can tie the people together. Monarchy does it. There could not be a better leader than the present king. I support him and wish him success in his endeavor.
I do not support the maobadis and do not agree that the monarchy is only a feudal instruction. You need to look into the hearts and minds of people to see where the monarchy stands in them, not just believe what maobad leaders what they tell you.
I also see the end to maobad and its leadership, it is coming.

"Definitely you will not be one of them as you support the terrorists."
My god Nepali chora you make a lot of assumptions. Who says I support he Maoists? One does not need to be a Maoists to want to see the end of the monarchy.
"I believe that Nepal needs an institution that can tie the people together. Monarchy does it. There could not be a better leader than the present king. I support him and wish him success in his endeavor. "
LOL. Since when did someone who protects his murderous son from the law become a good leader? Had he been a good leader he would have put Paras in jail for crimes you and I would have been sentenced to life imprisonment for.
"I also see the end to maobad and its leadership, it is coming."
So do I ... except that I see it accompanied by an end to the monarchy.

To all the kids educated in boarding schools I understand how you feel about monarchy.. but you need to look into the generation that is older than you, your biger brother, uncle or dad then you will understand the deep love and sympathy for monarch. There is a reason why there is monarchy in the most developed nations like japan and england. YOu need to understand the cause for it not judge with your instincts...

If you want to meet the king you can do so. he is accessible to public, i believe. He does not have to show himself in tundikhel to get public sympathy, he already has it. give respect to others even for the person you do not like (first rule of democracy).

Like every one, I listened to the interview.
Couldnot understand what prompted the king to sit for a long interview.
There are a couple of things I consider require some pondering:
Who drafted the questions? Was there any sort of an implied or direct instruction (on the Interviewee's part) of what the questions will be?
How long had NTV been trying to interview the king? Had ever NTV tried to interview the king of Nepal in the past years?

My impression is that the interview was not "staged". It looked like it was a genuine interview which is rare in the context of Nepal.

King Gyanendra also stresses on developing the positive thinking
by Nepali Leaders to publics. Its what I had been suggesting here
under "Hahoo!Guru Avatar".
I liked his interview. He is frank, and also forced the leaders rethink
where they are.
I support Monarch in Nepal. I have not found any speciality among
the republicans, they want republican? But, they have no real
solution after republican? What Monarch did not allow them to perform?
As long as Maoists are concerned, they said yesterday, they had
karyagat ekata until last year june 1, then, what was the reason they
were fighting for? Republican state? Who believes it? They just move
with hot cake of time, and what worthed those killings of Nepali Kangress
karya karta until June 1? Girija is now trying to play game by indulging
Indians in Maoist issues. He want to go to power. Girija is now sunk in
hell much deeper. He is great lier.

Girija is indeed a big liar, an opportunist and a man with no morals. He is only concerned about himself and his hardcore followers. My understanding is that there are some hardcore Girija followers. They follow him for personal reasons.
Girija needs to be ousted from power, from congress party from politics. I have heard this from so many people, from within and outside of Nepal. But he still retains influence on the political arena. Once Girija is out of the power Nepal will definitely be better.
We need an honest person like Deuba who is willing to take a risk for the betterment of the nation.
King Gyanendra is optimistic, honest and a good person. He will leave a positive mark in history.
I have found 2 people that I can count and trust on, so far, King and Deuba. This is definitely a beginning and a good start. I need to look harder to find more leaders that Nepal can count on ..

Dear -Nepali_Chora_,
Girija is a big liar for you and may be for me too. But his suporters think he is as honest (or more honest?) than you think the king and Deuba is. I have not read the king's interview but judging from the reaction to it it seems good on paper. But the point is all ofl our netajis deliver good lectures..... If you read books published during the Rana rule it seems that they were great rulers like our kings....

Dear Mr. Satya,
Please listen to the interview before proceeding with the discussion.
A politician, sociologist or the like are evaluated by their speech and interview. Aside other things integrity and honesty are judged based on these factors.
Regarding the published materials during Rana regime, I agree with you, they do look good in paper. But in the present context we are more educated and informed to fall for the "ploy" like in the old days, the world is not the same anymore. This makes a big difference doesn't it?
