The root of inequality: enemy of democracy

The monarchical grip in the administration and bureaucracy is getting tighter. New appointments for 43 districts were made today. Come to think of it, had this king been at the helm instead of his older brother, Nepal would never have had multiparty democratic (futile as ig might have been, it proved that political parties and leaders were equally not suited for the task of leadeship) experiment. There was reports how the palace was divided on the devision by Birendra to relinquish auotcratic control. The present king was against it. There is another reason apart from the obvious loss of power. The kind thinks Nepalese are utter fools. When the royal massacre occured and he ascendd, the first information he let out from the palace was the guns went off on their own and killed all those nine people.

Anyway, here is the basic situation. For democratic governance, equality of individuals has to be guaranteed. The biggest obstacle to estabhish is monarchy, who insisted to stay above law of the land. The monacrchy tried to stay above accountability. That will not be overcome. The political leaders, cowards that they are, agreed to the condition, with their own selfish motives. They wanted a run at the national coffers. Everybody knows what happened.

The cultural traits of Nepal favors hieraachy and inequality. That is unhealthy. Such roots of injustice should be uprooted. The only way to do it is to give a real good shock to the system. Culture is a dynamic thing. The unhealthy culture of ineqality which starts with monarchy should be totally abolished. Nepalese society should be introduced to modernity, under the UN auspicies. Enough with this futile call for constitutional monarchy.
