| Indian Media, Nepali Royalty
Koirala says it again-- Step down, king.
The latest story is a history in itself. And not just Nepali, but Indian media interest is intense on this. The Hindustan Times reports that for the first time in the history of Nepal, the parliament has passed a bill to put an end to the monarchy.
TOI says the amendment gives the Maoists an opportunity to try oust the king before November by blaming him for the mounting violence in the Terai (read this too for a Hindu connection). Kolkotta's Calcutta Telegraph says now the move is toward a diaper monarch. Just expect more editorials with a diversity of views in the Indian media on this issue.
