The question of monarchy in Nepal is in great trouble at the moment. Everyone has been pushing the monarch away and is trying to sideline its role from the mainstream politics, but the unbelieveable silence of Gyanendra, who didn't even hesitate to supress the ppl's movement, is raising so many questions and surprises.

Is he trying to b like his Big-B to save the monarchy?

Is he planning for another coup?

Is he planning to get himself into the politics actively (being a contender in the CA polls)?

Esp. after the announcement of the fed. republic, his silence has been taken with great concern as if it's gonna bring another tsunami in the nepali politics.

Recently kantipur's mag. "Nepal" has also posted an article regarding this issue. How do u speculate his another move?

I too wonder what Gyanendra is thinking (forget about Paras, I doubt he has any capability to think in the first place).

240 years of lineage, I am sure Gyanendra is feeling pretty bad that the dynasty will come down in his watch. 

But will he go quietly?  Does he have any card up his sleeves?  Would military coup be a viable option for him? 

 

wat the f..k going on!! why don't just let him alone!! stop treating him as a threat to the nation, instead there's whole lot of big threats going on beside him., chup lage pani nahune j gare pani nahune..,
hold ur horses against him guys!! before its too late !!

military coup is out of question. it will only make his otherwise may-be-decorous 'exit' worse. he or his cronies may run, but they won't be able to hide for a long time. it's a fact. live with it.

i don't see why people are still not shying away from speculating the chances of monarchy prevailing in nepal. all i can say is: don't dream it's over :P

It's not about going against him, u know. It's about the future cosequences. The person, who so actively tookover the nation, is now staying so quiet. This certainaily causes everyone to raise their eyebrows. After all he is the King and he should have made some remarks or welcomed the ongoing political scenario, instead he's doing neither of those.

He might have gotten self-concious about his remarks being condemned in the past, so he might not have made it this time, but looking at the present situation, the fall of monarchy is certain. Being the King with such a historical regards, he must b thinking about some ways to save it.

Another matter of concern is Army chief's recent private visit to India and now China. Is this a part of a King's plan or what? After all at some points, Army chief has been harsh on the political parties as well.

Obviously the nation is in critical condition but king's silence has made the political crisis quite interesting as well. I think King should make some sort of remarks regarding the present situation because his quietness is only fueling the anger of pro-monarchist to think that even they r being sideline from participating in the CA poll. Besides, the unrest in the Terai should b addressed by the King as well if he really cares about the country and should convince them to take part in the developing peaceful political processes.

the only viable option for him, as i see, is to remain quiet. and that's what he's been doing-- just wait and see how things unfold. see, if spa and maoists can rule the roost and live up with the expectations of people. see if the unrests in terai can bring something worthwhile for his existence.

i don't see why he has to make remarks on the present political scenario. that will only add fuel to the republic movement and will escalate and accelerate the ongoing movement for the same.

and i see that we, nepalese, are too considerate at times. two months ago, the same people who were vocal for republic nepal are now having doubts on their minds. where is this sudden romance for the  institution coming from?

Gyanendra, though quite late, has learnt from his past mistakes of going vocal when unwarranted to do so. Therefore he seems to be quiet.

The best thing to do for him right now is to pray to God harder. Any sissy undertaking on his part will only come back to haunt him.

Just found interesting comment about Mr. Katuwal in the following link. Read the comment

Whatever thoughts might be revolving in Gyanendra's head, it would be interesting to know what those are.  If Girija makes good on his promise of holding the constituent assembly election by April, the erstwhile king has less than 4 months of kingship.  Once the newly elected parliament makes the formal declaration of republic, Shah family will have to reserve the Uhaul, get brown cardboard boxes and move out like evicted tenants.  But will it be that easy?
