Monarchy’s
popularity amid instability : The leading
contemporary parties can be blamed for
elevating Gyanendra’s popularity, by
Paban Raj Pandey (kp 11/02/2025) [Unfortunately, people
never learn from history or they forget
too quickly. The political parties are to
blame for the political chaos, weak
democracy and non-implementation of
federalism, especially associated with the
names of Oli, Dahal and Deuba. But the
original blame for non-inclusive society,
Khas Arya elitism, patriarchy and Hindu
state lies with the Shah monarchy. Only a
minority of the population has benefited
from it and the political parties have
done nothing to change it! How can the
masses have forgotten Gyanendra's coup and
the excesses of 2005 after only 20 years?]
