	King Gyanendra: The absolute monarch : SF Bay Area Indymedia
		Gyanendra's life turned upside down on a hot night in Kathmandu in June 2001, when his brother, King Birendra, and most of the rest of the Nepali royal family were killed in the bloodiest royal massacre of modern times.
		Gyanendra was left behind and the Rana prime minister, Mohan Sumshere, crowned the boy as a new figurehead.
		Gyanendra was born into royalty, but he was born into a royal dynasty in trouble, and at the age of four he played his part in restoring its power.

	Gyanendra of Nepal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the second son of Prince (later king) Mahendra, the infant Gyanendra was declared king for two months (1950–1951) when the rest of his family was in exile in India, but was not internationally recognized.
		His brother Birendra had negotiated a constitutional monarchy in 1990 in which he, as King, played a minor role in government, and Gyanendra's changes to this constitutional settlement have been met with censure from critics of his government.
		Gyanendra took control once again on February 1, 2005, accusing prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba's government of failing to make arrangements for parliamentary elections and of being unable to restore peace in the country, which currently suffers from widespread terrorism and insurgency from Maoists.

		But Gyanendra has a son who could be the crown prince and who is not regarded highly in Nepal because of his wild lifestyle, press reports say.

		Nepalese King Gyanendra has been at the center of a political maelstrom since 2001 when he was thrust onto the throne after the crown prince killed nearly every member of this Himalayan nation's royal family.
		Gyanendra - who grew up under a feudal system in which the royal family and landlords ruled without check - was suddenly faced with massive protests.
		After the restoration of democracy in Nepal in 1990, Gyanendra remained mostly out of public life, making a handful of appearances during conservation campaigns and public functions where all members of the royal family were present.

		Immediately after his second enthronement at 11am of 4 June, King Gyanendra appointed a commission to investigate and report on the deaths of the royal family in Narayanhiti Darbar made up of the chief justice, the speaker of the Lower House and the leader of the opposition, and gave them a three-day deadline.
		Controversy has dogged King Gyanendra’s footsteps as palace eminence gris, as a legal but royal entrepreneur and even as a family man. His son Paras Shah inflamed the Nepali public with DUI incidents that caused fatalities, but he went un pinished even in post-democratic Nepal.
		Gyanendra while always being a part of the palace, also chose to stay away from it as much as possible.

		Gyanendra is set on a wrong course, unlike his deceased brother King Birendra, who was loved by the people.
		But, the problem, it appears, is that the people are not with Gyanendra, and that they do not approve of his dictatorial tendencies.
		Gyanendra might use his visit-first after he took power in February—to China, which has strategic relationships with Nepal, to solicit more support from Beijing to cement his hold onto power, and to rein in the rebels.
