The newly elected Constituent Assembly in Nepal, a fallout of the April uprising of 2006, is now in motion. It has made formal declaration of an end to Monarchy, with a ‘graceful’ exit to it.
As a system of governance, Monarchy has already lost all its steam since the great peoples’ uprising of April 2006, while the forces of medieval reaction, hitherto protected under the wings of Monarchy in Nepal, are already in adaptation with Nepali bourgeois. This way, the abolition of Monarchy in Nepal as a system of state, and the emergence of a republic, has, but a limited significance. This goes in sharp contrast to the bourgeois overturns in 19th Century Europe, where the emergence of bourgeois republics, had introduced a turn in world history. In 21st Century Nepal, such republic would be of no meaning and of no use for the people of Nepal, unless and until it puts the power directly in the hands of working class and through it, the peasantry. The power would be meaningless until the same is directed against the bourgeois.
Unfortunately, in Nepal, the Communist leadership, mis-educated in the schools of Stalinism and Maoism, neither has any perspective nor is ready to lead the proletariat to take to power. It instead, seeks the power in collaboration with bourgeois-landlords. Its failure to comprehend the true mechanics of revolution in Nepal has resulted in missing the great

it is high time to throw out all monarchies. the world organizations should join hands with the people of monarchy ruled states and help them to attain this goal.
The voice of the Nepali Masses has overcome the Kings arrogance and finally a People's Goverment look very likely.
However, the most vital time for Nepal and it's leaders is now. The alliance has to immediately adress the maoist problem too or else a time bomb may start clicking in the countryside.
I think India is reacting, involving & commenting too much in the internal affairs of Nepal. When America did some thing in Afganistan, Iraq? we object for it. What legitimacy India and the "author of this article" has to talk about Nepal's internal affairs. We oppose dynasty in Nepal, but we do India in the name of democracy the similar dynastic rule?. The author has to answer about these before making any reference to Nepal's constution and international constitution about Kings conveying assembly. These people should have limitation of their imagination about Nepal peoples.
