	Sher Bahadur Thapa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sher Bahadur Thapa was a Nepalese recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
		On 18/19 September 1944 at San Marino, Italy, when a company of the 9th Gurkha Rifles encountered bitter opposition from a German prepared position, Rifleman Sher Bahadur Thapa and his section commander, who was afterwards badly wounded, charged and silenced an enemy machine-gun.
		The rifleman then went on alone to the exposed part of a ridge where, ignoring a hail of bullets, he silenced more machine-guns, covered a withdrawal and rescued two wounded men before he was killed.

		Though backed by the palace in his 11-month tenure, Thapa failed to tackle either the Maoist problem or the challenge thrown by the parliamentary parties demanding the restoration of democracy.
		But it is not clear yet whether Thapa’s resignation will provide King Gyanendra a little more space to manoeuvre or force him to give up some of the executive powers that he had taken away from the elected representatives.
		In the absence of a consensus, there is also speculation that Taranath Ranadhat, the speaker of the last parliament, may be asked to be the Prime Minister while the leaders of the alliance will be part of an advisory group to help him run the government.
