Some progress in Republicanism

It was reported yesterday that UML has decided to opt for republicanism. That is a positive sign. Let's just imagine what would happen if we do not get rid of the monarchy right now when it is at its most punitive phase? We will be doomed for centuries. The royals are corrupt to the core, and want desperately to hang on. They have fooled us all until now by their behind the scene machiavelian tactics. Nepal can ill afford not to take this opportunity to establish a sytem based on equality of all citizens, open society, and political freedom based on inidividual freedom and guaranteed civil librerties.

The king in Nepal is much the same as the dictator in Pakistan. Both derive their power from the army. And as long as there is a king, royals will have tight control over the army to perpetuate their luxurious living.

Nelal needs to move ahead with the time. With the two neighbors progressing by leaps and bounds, Nepal can definitely perform better economically, without the greedy manipulations of royals having their hand in every pie. Weath distribution should be achieved so that the disparity between the rich and the poor can be bridged. Nepal has future, but not with the royals intact.
