Nepal was a monarchy for centuries, ruled by the Shah dynasty since the unification of the country in the 18th century. However, the monarchy's power began to decline in the 20th century, and in 2006, a people's movement led by political parties and Maoist insurgents brought about the end of the autocratic monarchy. In 2008, the Constituent Assembly declared Nepal a federal democratic republic, and the monarchy was abolished.
The possibility of reestablishing the monarchy in Nepal is a complex and multifaceted issue. While there are voices calling for its restoration, significant legal, political, and social obstacles stand in the way.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
