Miss gurung is a minority and her voice doesn't carry weight.We warn strongly aganist the political play by Tibetan -type Buddhist thugs to interfere in any way with monarchy.The result will be extermination of tibetan buddhism akin to that in China.

Oh, no! Not again. Some people, like Ritu Gurung, without any logic, at all, relentlessly keep on ranting. What the heck is democracy for you, Ritu Gurung? Wasn't there any democracy while the King reigned? And when the King really took the power, why did he? Stop posting non-logical arguments. They lead to fatality. Assess the situation well, and put your comments. Thank you.

It is for sure Nepal will have Monarchy back. It is Nepal's compulsion to put King on the Throne. King is the symbol of national unity. To keep Nepal intact, King's coming back to his position is undeniable. Referendum could be the best option to sort out if Nepali people want Monarchy and Hindu Nation or Republic and Secular State. Let's demand together for the Referendum. It is the fairest and the most democratic way. The national government led by the Maoist can hold the Referendum. Nepalese are the masters of Nepal and their rights to choose the Hindu Kingdom or Secular Republic through Referendum cannot be denied. To establish the people's rights we all need to raise the voice for the 'REFERENDUM'. Bishal Shah, NY bishalshah@yahoo.com

Really ex-king was big force of Nepali politics. That is why always writting about ex-monarch. Even arm equipped Maoists also raising the voice over monarch.That is why we people conclude JUNGA BAHADUR BHANDA KALAM BAHADUR THULO.In this way it is good option for Maoists leading government to restablish the monarchical institution without delay.Still people have great faith over that institution but we should estblish constitutional monarchy.

Gurung ji, You are right about democracy but supporting communist as a democrate is absulately wrong. See Nepal Now where it is going to. People are fighting with each other, There is no peace and security. Don't support the King but Supporting the killer of 13500 people is and electing him as a prime minister is something really not good. Prachand should be hanged for killing so many innocent people. How can a communist talk about democracy? They are the enemy of democracy. You ask people from former Communist country how they feel about communist. They hate them. Democratic people don't believe in Guns, They believe in Vote.

Ya, some people thinks killing citizens is democracy, looting treasury is democracy, forming group of goons is democracy; like these people have destroyed the country. King is definitely coming to take up the throne. I am hundred percent sure.
