Nepal's Monarchy resurgence

Amidst the latest riots in Nepal, fervent debates on monarchy resurface. Tensions rise as pro-monarchy demonstrators clash with government forces, reigniting discussions on political structure and cultural identity. Advocates of the monarchy stress cultural and religious values, pushing for the reinstatement of Hinduism as the state religion. Former King Gyanendra Shah's unveiling of a statue of King Prithvi Narayan Shah symbolizes a commitment to traditional Hindu identity. Demonstrators view the monarchy as a guardian of Nepal's historical and cultural roots. The government's response, marked by arrests and criticism, reflects the deep-seated tensions over governance, identity, and the nation's political structure.
