Tribute to late king Birendra

still find it hard to believe he's no more..he was really RAJA SABKAA SAAJHA.
i remember, i couldn't sleep for days on end hearing the news of the royal family's untimely demise under such horrific circumstances.
the shabby way in which his last rites and his cremation was organised was so humiliating!

If he wasn't so silent....so much blood wouldn't have been spilled............

He was a good man but not a very effectve King or leader.

Nepali haru ko raj bhakti gajab chha ba !

Look Nepalese do not need anything else but sombody to worship. Crtitical thinking ? Kun chara ko nam ho tyo ?

Birendra was a gentleman ? That's why you worship him ? Well, there are billions of gentlemen out there. Go worship.

Birendra was a good king. Really ?

Do you know Mahendra denied democracy to Nepal people for just ONE decade, but Birendra did so for TWO decades ? Go worship him.

Birendra gave democracy to Nepali people. Really ?

Birendra cooperated with democracy after he was forced to yield. Does not that call for a worship ?

In a police custody, criminals often cooperate with the authority. Hello.

Birendra raja, sabko sajha. Oh yeah. Of course. He was the protector of everybody. Do you know why the recommendation of Mallik commision were suppressed ? Do you know why Sampati of old Panchas were never investigated ? Who was responsible ? My dear rajbhakta friends, you do not know the reason of current corruption in the country, do you ? It is not a current corruption, it is the continuation of panchayat era corruption. Birendra was blocking any investigation/action against pancha. Your gentle king did not know you can not eliminate corruption if you forgive it. And why our leaders were warned not to take any action against old corruption ? Think about it. Who's gonna investigate the palace ? Who bells the cat ? Nobody dared to do. Now there are so many cats and kittens. Mew.. mew on this side. Mao.. mao on that side. Let's keep worshipping our good king. What else do we have, after all.

i happen to agree with you. be that as it may, it's neither here nor there anymore. it was really tragic what happened. i still have an 8"x10" photo of the king giving tikka at narayanhiti from dasain 1991. perhaps i'll frame it some day.

u pce of shit do u thik its better now killingl alll the nepalies its all comes after the democracy its better in the panchas no voilence no at all do uy job ni at that time well the country is in the peacer now look now 180 nepaleas killed in 1 day can belive in nepal ,,,,, in the country of lord buddaha

Neplese are so blind, they are so Rajbhaktas for no reason. I feel bad that King Birendra had a very bad death, tara ke garnoo he could not even take care of his own son, that incident showed us what a bad upbringing Deependra had. You reap what u sow.....and ofcourse pap dhuri bata karauchhaaa....I hate those stuck up Royalties and I was glad when I saw them lying on the floor like nobodys
I am sure they went to hell...

Kali ma

Freak ji,
whatever is happening now is the result of what was happening in the pancha time, it slowly developed into it. Raja Rani and the panches were the most corrupt people, as corrupt as the Ranas. They only worked for themselves and gave a damn about people like us.....neplese people had no clue about anything then but now they are aware of their rights...

May his and his family's soul rest on peace. Ram ka ta kura katne manche thiye bhane Birendra ka kura yo kali yug ma katne nai chhan. Late King Birendra timi amar rahu. You will be remembered by Nepalis until end of humanity in this earth.

No Slave, it's true that Birendra denied democracy to Nepal for 2 decades. But please remember that Mahendra was the one who imposed the Panchayat system on Nepal. If Mahendra hadn't died so early, wouldn't he have been ruling Nepal ruthlessly? Instead of thanking Birendra for granting democracy, we all deride him, for no particular reason.
So yeah, Birendra did give democracy to Nepal. Your logic is flawed, since you fail to understand that Mahendra was the one who denied democracy.
And stop spreading rumors that have no basic, whatsoever. What proof do you have that the Panchayat system was corrupted. It's all conjecture, if you ask me!

I was more shocked by the way he died than the fact that king birendra had died. its sad to see people go out like that, but i do not feel that we as a nation have lost anyone so greatly significant. king prithivi narayan shah united all the little kingdoms and became the king by killing others. so the very beginning of the shah dynasty starts with bloodshed. i guess when u live by the gun then u die by the gun. i belive in the saying that "kalo gaye goro aucha". birendra died, now we have gyanendra. if anything, i take birendra's death in a positive light. maybe it is an opening of a door for a new beginning.

if we are to belive that dinosours existed long time ago and that they were wiped out by an astriod that hit the earth, then we see that this was bad for the dinosours, but good for us the humans. knowing what we know of them, the dinosours and us humans may not have been able to coexist. therefore, their extinction gave way to us humans and our existance became possible. i see birendra's death in the same light. it may seem bad at the moment, but in the long run i think that his death will give way to another beginning. another beginning that we so despratly need. besides, looking at his death in a neagtivse light does not help us in any way. so i say, move on.

Suman Dhakal

Mr. Dakal, your argument is way out of proportion. How can you compare our beloved king's death with stupid dinosours. He was the best king we ever had. Do not forget that he gave us democracy. Long live king Birendra.

May they who died rest their soul in peace. Why blame king Birendra for not ruling the country perfectly, while i see nobody has done so, so far. I mean we have to understand that nothing and nobody is perfect. Even though when we mean well, things dont turn out the way we want. Maybe KIng B wanted a peaceful life for us, Nepalese, but the fact is the mediators who stood between us, janatas, and him were corrupted. Little did he knew that the trusted ones were going to stab him from back, but I appreciate what he put through by giving democracy to us. We also need to understand that just because some of us love our king does not mean 'slavery' in any way. Many years later, today also we face racism or better casteism. Why do we hate 'Ranas'? Those who were brutal are long gone and now there sons and daughters are facing a faceless hatred from people. This is so crap. What Rana sashan has contributed and late king and queen has contributed to us and to our society is very important, esp to our generation. And just so the origin of maoism came after democracy came, after they saw that even the people who has a good idea of democracy cannot give Nepalese a true democracy. Right way didnt click so they chose a wrong path, and all we can do is see where it leads. King Birendra was great, his personality, his charm and his intelligence just added a great glory to our country. About his fatherhood, no father really want their son to be trashy but if a person is exposed to drugs and other things, he cannot do anything. He was a good father, we can see that by looking at other two kids. A person should not judge anybody's life, it might happen to you , how do you know the future?

KALI,

just because a son becomes wayward, does not justify anyone blaming his father for the son's misdeeds.

Jai desh Jai Naresh,
Mr Suman Dhakal is very right, I agree with him. I wonder why King Birendra is so loved?? What did he really do for us??? HHaaa Like TIRAMISU SAID He gave us democracy.....No he did not give us Democracy WE FOUGHT FOR IT, WE DEMANDED IT, IF HE HAD NOT WE WOULD HAVE KILLED HIS FAMILY THEN.
King Birendra was a racist, pussy whipped, with no backbone leader, he not only failed as a leader but as a father too, he was not aware of his son's addiction neither was he understanding towards his feelings.

dumb freek ji,,,,,,,,,,,,, u think we r in good condn now after the demo,,,,,there chiky basterd leaders are dam worst that of b4

kali ma U THINK THAT HIS SON KILL EVERYONE OF OLY HIS FALIMY ,,,,,,,,,,,,, THINK WELL THEN ONLY WRITE ,,,,,,,,,, WE ALL NEPALIS ARE BHEDAS WE KNOW EVERYTHINK BUT EVEN WE R QUITE AND WE HELP THEM TO DO MORE AND THEY R DOING MORE AND MORE

Kali,
think before you speak, look before you leap.
if you read my lines, i have never mentioned king Birendra's link to democracy.
i mentioned my sadness on his passing in such horrific circumstance.
and before you go on blaming the late king who has no voice to confront your blatant accusations, do you blame all parents in the world for their children's wrong doings?
when the events of september 11 unfolded, someone wrote in the pretext of one of the lost lives, consoling his loved ones not to forget him in these lines:
OUT OF SIGHT SHOULD NOT MEAN OUT OF MIND, I AM MERELY WAITING AT THE OTHER END , FOR WE WILL MEET ONCE AGAIN, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, AND TO HEAR FROM YOU HOW MUCH YOU HAVE MISSED ME.
KALI, if you really hated our late king that much, it was just twelve months ago that he was still alive and kicking, and you weren't any baby then, you could have vented your frustrations then. i am sure the king would have been all ears despite nfuriating his sycophants and cronies.

Mr. Suman Dhakal has a point.

Let us not talk about the sympathy to Birendra for his murder by his own son for a moment, shall we ?

Now, I think the death of the entire royal family last year marks the end of the dark age of Nepal or to be specific the long dark age of Nepali psyche. Although the power of the palace was significantly reduced by the popular movment of 1990, Nepali mind was still under the grip of the mystique of royal power. Royals meant a superior species of human with devine mind and mystical life style meant to rule us, the inferior people called Nepali.

But thanks to the murderer Dipendra, he made us see, once for all, that these royals were no different than us. The image of royals as semi-god in Nepali mind shattered into pieces for good.

Although the royalists ridiculed Baburam's words (that Nepal is now undeclared republic state), he was right to see the historical fact that the mystical monarchy in Nepali mind died right then. It takes some light to understand Baburam's words. When monarchy dies, what else does take its place if not the republic state (of mind) ?

Now freaking royalists are trying to re-mystify royals by spreading the false propaganda that Gyanendra is very very intelligent man (his IQ ?) and that Paras is getting crash course in good character etc. Gyanendra's lyrics have been recognized as the best literary work in Nepali literature, as mystical as those of Chandani Shah and MBB Shah. Kali Prasad rijal, Dinesh Adhikari and late Hari Bhakta Katuwal have become the second grade lyricists in Nepal. And so on..

Once again, Baburam rightly identifies these developments as the emergence of NEW MONARCHY in the country (see another thread on Baburam's recent article published in The Nepali Post). Some of the royalists in this thread are part of that mental kingdom. Let them shout 'Rajtantra Jindabad ! Gyanendra sarkar ko Jai Jai Jai. Paras sarkar ko Jai jai jai.

perhaps wxy needs a wake up call. read the thread. what does it mean?
AND,
are you really that blind? did the death of the entire royal family last year put an end to monarchy in nepal? does the mystique not hover even on this very day, this very hour, this very second what with gyanendra taking over? do you think the dark days are really over with birendra passing away? LOL
i'm not a supporter of monarchy itself, but king birendra passed away under horrific circumstances, and i guess, no one deserves to die like that.

before i forget, i dont think i need to remind anyone in these forums which wing your idealism is inclined towards. its just so obvious. our postings here are directed towards the thread itself, 'tribute to king birendra' , that is. yours stray away from it. you know towards what..
