Trying to understand what's going on in Nepal. Have to admit I know very little about the political landscape of this highland.
So apparently this was a monarchy up until 1990 when King Birendra was forced by a "People's Movement" to democratize, then according to the communist doctrine of "permanent revolution" the Maoists tried to push the system to more and more radical leftist until they did with the royal family what they did with the czar in 2001.
Surviving member of the family pulled back the country from the edge of the communist abyss, and a republic started to form and by 2015 they accepted a constitution.
Since early this year it seems like monarchist feelings are gaining momentum, which led to the toppling of the government in the past few days by a revolutionary mass of people.
Listen little dude quoting the murdered king in his speech in March.
He says
>imperial empire
?
Anyway he mentions unemployment as a problem, just as "selfish games of political parties" and corruption.
The thing about parties: the kingdom for a while run without parties, as the king centralized to an absolute monarchy. But even absolute monarchies can have parties, so to me it sounds more like despotism, but again I don't know how it worked really.
Anyway both this tangent and the quote of Birendra makes it quite clear his speech is the expression of monarchist sentiment.

I wonder if Nepal is being the victim of great power politics. Not just now, but in general. Sandwiched between China and India, but not without US meddling either. USAIDS promoted atheism in Nepal from the tax moneys of the American people.
