I got to read an article in the Kantipur daily of Baisakh 24 by the famous writer Khagendra Sangraula called 'Sorrow of former kings and royal devotees'. It was fun. There is a Nepali saying that 'only the one who wears shoes knows where his feet hurt'.

In this question, others may have guessed a little about his leg pain. In the history of Nepal, he could not save the throne that came to brother Gyanendra after his brother Narayanhiti was massacred in the palace. Such events, which rarely happen in the history of the world, lead politics in a way that no one expected. After the Darbar scandal, the country took a new direction with the pride and arrogance of Gyanendra Shah.
The left wing party was following the line of republicanism since its inception, due to which even the followers of BP Koirala, who were staunch supporters of constitutional monarchy since its inception, joined the ranks of republicanism. They say 'look at yourself, look at time and surroundings'. His short vision saw only himself and Pitaraja Mahendra. Now he is hoping that he will be able to eat the kheer cooked in his dream. But this is not possible. Perhaps the situation would have been different if an agreement could have been made at the same time to preserve the existence of the symbolic king and the executive authority of the people's representatives in the state management. But now this fantasy has no meaning left. Because so far a lot of water has flowed in Bagmati. Navaraj Subedi and Durga Prasais have installed the rusted throne and hoping that they will be able to bring Sripech for the third time in their old age is like thinking that 'an old bull will bleat and eat milk'. "Mangal suffered in his own way." The truth is that Nepalese people who have become sovereign do not play the crude game of finding a new king and turning themselves into raiti.
