Now Birendra's clan totally wiped out, I was wondering what is being done to the vast properties and savings they have in the foreign banks.
We have heard lots about their money in the Swiss bank and some island they bought.
By contitutional constrain, Gyanendra became the king of Nepal but I would not want him and his son to enjoy over another vast resource of wealth.
Some should be spared for the daughters (who would carry the Genes of Birendra clan) of Shruti and rest should be nationalized. Just my thoughts.

I was thinking about Shruti's daughters over the weekend also. Since I am an American, I am unfamiliar with Nepali law. I was told that it was not possible for a woman to rule as Nepal's monarch. Even if the 7-year-old girl could, the new King would probably act as regent. And I also agree that Birenda's fortunes should be passed on to his granddaughters.
