Our regent gives us this accident theory. The accident that left
a few but all dead. Come on prince, I don't buy this theory.
An accident can't kill the king and the queen and eleven other
people "THAT WAY".
************* -------------- ************ ---------------------
Now, we are not obliged to call Prince Gyanendra our king or
whatever we say. Because, frankly, I may be ready to accept him
to some extent, but not Paras as crown prince. We are not "raiti".
One of the greatest spirit of the constitution we got in 2047 is
that we , Nepalese people, are now soverign. The greatest wish
of Birendra was to see us relishing our right to choose our
ruler.
I believe the kingship is primogeniture and male-based
inheritance.It is time we realise that Shaha dynasty is
respectfully placed in history now. It is time I can tell my
future daughter, "Look, kid. Work hard, and if you do so, you
can become the president of Nepal."
**************** ------------- ************* ---------------------
I resent the attitude of our government again. This
semi-sensorship on press yesterday was untenable. Why should
Nepali in Nepal wait hours while all the world already knew about
this?
A few doomsayers say that Nepal is nothing without king. They are
crazy. We love the late king, it is true. But there are alot of
thing in question now , as the incidence already took place. The
first is: Nepalese people need explanation of what happened to
the royals. Who is that cold-blooded creature who killed the
king, the queen, and among other, the young prince and princess?
We can't afford to cry and be in shocked now, as a few criminals
may take grip of the nation and democracy. It is time we become
our rulers, and we become alert more than ever.
********* ------------ ************** --------------
Even the educated Nepalese say army doesn't obey the popular govt.
They are just another doomsayers.
Royal Nepalese Army is best remembered in Nepal for its effort to
help citizens. I remember seeing army people in my nearby village
coming to rescue the flooded village of Tharus. They came to
save Nepalese. They fought with the support of whole Nepalese
people 200 Yrs ago. Army is just another proud, intact and
disciplined force of Nepal.
Our policy has consistently been this: that civilians will craft
the policy for army. The govt agreed to UN demand, and the army
went to peacekeeping.I have a few friends in army, in Captain and
Lieutenant level. All are as democratic in their spirit as I am.
I knew a Major, who was as democratic as I was. I see army as
another reverred Nepalese institute which survives with the
survival of Nepal. The army can prosper only with the prosperous
and democratic Nepal. There is no conflict of interest between
a republic, democratic Nepal and a strong Nepalese Army.
