Sort of like being a feminist activist in Saudi or Iran -banging your head against an intractable cultural wall, and possibly even dangerous. <BR/><BR/>I always thought it would mean a lot more to sacrifice something that actually had meaning for you. A bunch of buffalo, goats and chickens could not possibly mean anything to a king. He should be sacrificing his BMW Limo or something. (Or maybe his son Para, who definitely would be the worst nightmare ever to hit the Nepali monarchy).Sirensongs: Indologist At Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101429745244414871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-1148153437659297182006-05-20T14:30:00.000-05:002006-05-20T14:30:00.000-05:00And now it is confirmed that the new government ha...And now it is confirmed that the new government has taken some really good steps to limit the King's powers in the not so royal kingdom anymore!!!

I wonder why the PETA (people for Ethical treatment) and animal lovers are not saying a word. If I kick a stray dog, they put me behind bars, or so they threaten :(<BR/>Power has it's perks!!Shinu Mathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221292281555891671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-1147678828617517442006-05-15T02:40:00.000-05:002006-05-15T02:40:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Aadil Desaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269350305126694091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-1147678773388204242006-05-15T02:39:00.000-05:002006-05-15T02:39:00.000-05:00I read today that the government will bring in new...I read today that the government will bring in new legislation to reduce the powers of the monarch in Nepal.
