Why are the people of nepal demanding a Hindu nation?
There are continuous demonstrations in nepal demanding a Hindu nation. The people there say that they want monarchy and not democracy there. The crowd there is raising slogans about monarchy and is also welcoming the former king. About 16 years ago, Nepal used to be the only Hindu nation in the world. Gyanendra Shah was the king of nepal till 2008, but then a Maoist movement and alleged leftist revolution took place and there was a change of power in this country. Gyanendra Shah had to leave the throne, but now again the supporters of the monarchy are demanding a return to the monarchical system under the rule. Let us know why this is so and what is the history of Nepal.
Even the Mughals and the british could not capture Nepal
Talking about history, nepal was once a part of India. But the british and the Mughals never thought of including it in their kingdom. Actually, it was not so easy to capture nepal in that era. If we look at history, whenever invaders have occupied India, there were two reasons for it, either that area was in their way or they had to loot from there. nepal was also not less important. But nepal was surrounded by high inaccessible mountains and fighting with the Nepalese was not easy. It was not an easy task for the british either. The british fought with the Nepalese and won, but their condition had become very bad. That is why an agreement was reached between nepal and the british and the british showed interest in doing business here.
Why is there a demand for a Hindu nation?
Senior Vice President of Nepal's National Democratic party Ravindra Mishra had told BBC why his party wants monarchy in Nepal. He said that the people of nepal have become disillusioned with the system that is currently running in Nepal. People are remembering the old days at this time. After 17 years since the change of power in 2008, the former king of that place, Gyanendra Shah, is no longer a villain. If we believe the report of Times of India, the people there say that they are now disillusioned with the new system of governance.
The condition of the country is getting worse
Another person said that he was involved in the demonstration 16 years ago, which was done to end the monarchy. There was hope that the situation would change but it did not happen. Nothing has changed in nepal and in fact the country has changed even more, that is why now people have changed their thinking. The condition of education and health in the country is worse, there is instability and prices are rising. The poor have nothing to eat. The rules in the country do not apply to the rich, so the people there want their king back.
