Let's cut a deal. The king abdicates, and he will be allowed to become a private citizen who will not be subject to any legal inquiries as to what might have happened over the past few years. He gets to keep all he owned before he became king.
How does that sound?
The country does not need to go through another fermentation on the monarchy question. It already did. Now the country needs to be holding discussions on the issues of the people, like inclusive democracy, social justice, and so on.
I think it is such a waste that the country might have to debate if or not to keep the monarchy.
The debate all the way to the constituent assembly and inside that assembly has to be about the people, not the king.
But then, will he do it? Will he get the idea? Will someone tell him?
Pahadi Army
The Nepal Army is a Pahadi army. The Maobadi Army is a Pahadi army. If you integrate the two, you just end up with a bigger, badder Pahadi army.
Abolishing the two armies has got to be key to the Madhesi movement.
What could be some of the issues a Madhesi movement could coalesce around?
- Federal Republic.
- Hindi.
- Citizenship certificates for the six million Madhesis, almost half of all Madhesis.
- Abolish the two armies.
That is a lot of Madhesis by any count.
Half get treated as non citizens. The other half get treated as second class citizens.

India also renewed its commitment to develop infrastructure projects like the 1,500-km Hulaki Highway in the Terai region, Budhi Gandaki hydroelectricity project, the East-West Railways and set up a Polytechnic School in the far West....... Rather like the way India tried to impress George Bush (but left him amused instead), the visiting Nepalese Prime Minister was drowned in hospitality and attention. A cavalcade of 40 cars, exclaimed Finance Minister Ram Saran Mahat with awe. For us! This is the kind of reception George Bush got! ....... "You are South Asia's most towering leader. There is no one like you in the subcontinent..." ......... he can be stubborn, doctrinaire and appear shortsighted. But a man who has been part of a struggle for 60 years must know his way around....... The only other parallel that comes to mind is JR Jayewardene, the complex and enigmatic President of Sri Lanka who coincidentally also at 84, managed to lead the 40-something Rajiv Gandhi to an impossibly sorry dance....... Koirala is direct and straight ..... Koirala is seemingly rigid ..... Neither spent too much time grooming successors. ..... as India had helped draft the 12-point letter of understanding between the political parties and the Maoists, it needed to take this process further...... India should contribute to the Cease Fire Mechanism as well as the exercise of handing over arms by Maoists before the election....... Gorkha Signallers in the Indian Army helped with Nepal's first multiparty elections in 1960......
