	Constitutional monarchy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Modern constitutional monarchies usually implement the concept of trias politica, and have the monarch as the (symbolic) head of the executive branch.
		There have been monarchies which have coexisted with constitutions which were fascist (or quasi-fascist), as was the case in Italy, Japan and Spain, or those in which the government is run as a military dictatorship, as was the case in Thailand.
		The concept of constitutional monarchy owes its origin to the absolute monarchies of the later Middle Ages, where governmental authority was exercised by the monarch and his (or in rare occasions her) government.

		The removal of formal reserve powers from the monarchy is another common measure in which a party may chose to "de-politicize" the monarchy, yet not scrap the entire institution.
		Other defenders of constitutional monarchies argue that royal families promote tourism, and are a key tradition associated with patriotism and national pride.
		A further argument speculates that abolishing a popular monarchy may be a pointless endeavor anyway, as even a "deposed" royal family could presumably still live their royal lifestyle and capture public attention, making any republican replacement seem illigitimate.

		Nepalese are proud that their nation never submitted to the colonial yoke, but this masks the fact that the state of Nepal itself was a colonizing power.
		While it has often been claimed that Nepalese see their king as a god, this was particularly true for those linguistic and religious communities closest to the dominant Bahun-Chetri group from which the Shah dynasty sprang.

		Contemporary Nepalese people revere their King as a reincarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, to be worshipped and obeyed without question.
		Similarly, the mystery of the Nepalese King in a forbidden palace parallels the emperors of China and Japan.

		It was not a wise idea to politically coalesce with the reactionary monarchy representing the revivalist feudal elements, in view of its past image and role and expect from it the protection of people's fundamental rights, their human values and dignity.
		When one of the factions of the Nepalese communist movement that had been unified and reorganized in the name of the Fourth Congress redivided due to factional differences and secterian tendencies, a serious clash between two differing factions took place in Nirdana, a village in Siraha, in the year 1984.
		Following this sad incident, as the then Nepalese government was unable to put pressure on the Indian government to resolve the refugees problem in accordance with the international law, four organizations committed to human rights and democracy stood against the Panchayat system.

		Monarchy has traditionally enjoyed popular support in the Hindu kingdom, with the King being viewed as an incarnation of Vishnu.
		There is little love lost between the two and the Maoists have eliminated far too many functionaries of the parties in rural Nepal for the two sides to bury the hatchet in the immediate future.

		It is perfectly logical to add to the call for the abolition of the monarchy the call for the expropriation of the properties of the members of the royal family.

		The U.S. claims it is supporting "democracy" in Nepal in the form of a "constitutional monarchy." Yet it had nothing to say when Gyanendra became king by having the former king and most of the royal family murdered.
		Some international aid organizations criticized this strike as "interfering" in education, as though the country's feudal monarchy and foreign domination, not to mention the lack of truly free education, were not the source of the country's almost 50% illiteracy.

	An invitation letter to attend a massive rally and mass meeting tothe solidarity to peoples
		The present Nepalese society in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial stage is a multi-class society, and the principal struggle there is among the feudal, the bourgeois and the proletarian classes.
		As the monarchy representing the feudal and comprador and bureaucratic bourgeois classes is historically the strongest representative of the reactionary classes in Nepal, the parasitic classes most adversely affected by the revolutionary People's War have been increasingly rallying under the leadership of the monarchy.
		It is beyond a doubt that the Nepalese masses that have shown their identity through the mass struggle of 1990 and 9 years’ of people’s war are capable to fulfill their historic task of establishing republic.

		The CPN's goals are to end the Nepalese monarchy and replace it with a Maoist people's republic, as well as an end to "Indian imperialism," capitalist exploitation, the caste system, and ethnic, religious, and linguistic exploitation.
		The CPN got the inspiration for its tactics from the afore mentioned Shining Path of Peru, as well as Indian Maoists known as "Naxalites." The common trait shared by these two groups is their penchant for brutality, taking Mao's call for the "elimination of class enemies" to its violent extreme.
		Three demands were put forward by the Maoists; the monarchy must be abolished; there must be an election for a constituent assembly which should write a new constitution; and, in order to have these elections, the present government must resign and an all-party interim government should administer the elections.

		Clearly Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz did not have the Nepalese monarchy and Nepalese people in mind when he said: “We do not take humour seriously enough.” The people of Nepal as well as the monarchy seem to take it seriously enough.
		The Nepalese are clearly using humour to get around their painful political predicament while the government is busy suppressing anything that smacks of disrespect for the monarchy.
		While expatriate Nepalese can escape persecution and only have their sites banned, those in Nepal are paying for their political humour.

		The royal family as a whole, or a majority of it, is involved in the drug trade, and it is their fast expanding role which is panicking US agencies.
		This would suggest the drug charges have a hot chance to rock the Nepalese monarchy as a whole, which is when the issue explodes from a drug rap to one having major international implications, and one constituting a manner of foreign policy crisis in the neighbourhood for India.
		Nepal without a monarchy, or a monarchy bust apart by drug charges, is unthinkable.

		New Delhi (CNSNews.com) - The weekend massacre of the Nepalese royal family, followed by the death early Monday of the heir, Dipendra, poses a threat to the decade-old parliamentary democracy in the Himalayan kingdom, analysts said Monday.
		Despite relinquishing absolute power in 1990, the Nepalese monarchy has played a purely constitutional role, but has remained an influential and important symbol of continuity and national unity in a volatile political environment.
		Officials at the Nepalese embassy here said they expected a three-month-long "Nepal Festival of Life," which started on May 1 and was aimed at Indian tourists, to be affected by the upheaval.

		As long as Monarchy will exit in Nepal, political turmoil will stay as it is because they will never let it be stable other wise they will not be able to rob the country on name of national symbol.
		In this context the monarchy may not be a big deal but remember that it will take many years for a normal Nepali to accept the country without the existence of an institution that will be there to protect them when the corrupted leaders go away on the next election.
		Monarchy has to go, not because of Paras and Gyanendra, but because it is incompatible with the process of overhauling our country needs to become, as HTji has nicely described, a pluralistic, democratic, progressive and accountable system.
