The right time has come for all nepali citizens in this 21st century to make every effort to transform Nepal into a peaceful and prosperous country by maintaining peace and consolidating the democratic republican system. Now, our country, Nepal has entered into a new democratic era along with an epochal change, all to set aside the differences of the past and dedicate themselves to the overall interest of the country and people.
An illiberal and non-tolerant political system would not only obstruct development of the nation but also limit the traditions, custom and culture, the overall interest of the country and the people lies only in a republic system. Nepal is a sacred meeting point of the mutual unity, love and goodwill of people of various customs, nationalities and languages and that our custom of respecting one another has inspired us all to move ahead united to make a New Nepal.

The 19 day April revolution of 2006 sacked the Gyanendra's executive power. This proves that the power of people is the strongest in the world. Now, let us work united, effectively and pledged to continue the struggle to destroy the monarchy altogether. Let us not compromise with our mission, "Abolition of Monarchy in Nepal".
There is still an incomplete democracy in Nepal. As Nepali citizens we should be sovereign, not the crown nor parliament. In a complete democracy we should be choosing our next head of state. Despite the extravagant costs of monarchy, and the increasingly erratic behaviour of the royals, our arguments are concerned with complete democracy, the principle that this is our country and we should choose our heads of state. We should have the right to elect and hold to account all who hold public office and such people must remember that they are there to serve us, and not vice versa.
It is time to claim the right to our own country and to choose our Head of State. We demand that the ultimate choice must be with the people, those who will be sovereign in our future republic of Nepal, and not with a convention or with parliament. And it is for this reason that Federal Republic of Nepal welcomes the support and membership of all those who aspire for Nepal to have a NEW NEPAL, Federal Republic of Nepal alternative to the monarchy.Monarchy never can be nationalistic and the king cannot be the symbol of national unity.

The message from the Nepalese people is loud and clear. We want a republic nepal. Monarchy stands discredited. It has lost legitimacy in the eyes of almost all the people of Nepal. The unpopular king will do everything at his command to retain the powers again. All sorts of hurdles would be created. So the Nepalese people's struggle is not over yet. We have won one battle. Now we have to proceed further for the other, battle of REPUBLIC to make complete victory.

Hello.

It seems we share some common interests so I wanted to make my introduction. I'm Chris from New Orleans. I'm studying Comparative legal systems at Tulane Law School and am very interested in Human Rights and Mediation and Negotiation. Given our common interests it would be good to start communication so we can refer to each other for advice in the future. Please take a minute to view my page and leave a message if you like.

peace.
