Last 'god-king' to live as citizen of a republic
The dethroned last Hindu 'god-king' on earth in Nepal has reportedly agreed to leave the palace ( which would be turned into a museum ) soon to live as a common citizen in the newly set up secular republic. All his pomps and pageants in the past have proven to be illusionary.From 'Son of Heaven' to citizen of New China

Rural Nepal is still a very backward society, almost primitive. I hope the new regime can make a difference in the people's lives.
I'm also going to reserve judgement to see how the new government responds to dissent, as it will arise sooner or later.
I guess Nepal now is like China in 1911-1949 minus foreign invasions and widespread addiction to opium.
