Fall of the Nepalese Monarchy | TKF Clips | Sachin Timalsena | S01E03

How did one of the world's oldest Hindu monarchies come to an end? In this episode of The Kathmandu Frequency 108, we explore why Nepali Congress was an agreeable party in the abolishing of the Nepalese monarchy - from the ideals of constitutional monarchy to the tragic 2001 Royal Palace Massacre, the rise of King Gyanendra, the 2005 royal takeover, the People's Movement (Jana Andolan II), and the eventual abolition of the monarchy in 2008, why the events occurred, and what vacuum it has left unfulfilled. This is not merely a retelling of historical events. It is a discussion about constitutionalism, democracy, political legitimacy, state power, and how institutions survive - or fail - during moments of national crisis. Whether you support the monarchy or the republic, this conversation aims to understand why Nepal's monarchy fell and what that transformation means for the country's political future.
