More than a decade after abolishing its monarchy, Nepal is experiencing a surprising resurgence of royalist sentiment. As political instability, economic hardship, and concerns about cultural identity fuel public dissatisfaction, thousands of Nepalese are rallying to restore the Hindu monarchy. But what's driving this movement, and how realistic is a return to monarchy in today's Nepal?

In this episode, we explore:🔹 The historical roots of Nepal's monarchy—from national unification under the Shah dynasty to the dramatic 2001 Royal Massacre.🔹 Why Nepal’s shift to a federal republic in 2008 hasn't delivered the stability many expected.🔹 The key players leading the monarchy revival, including former King Gyanendra and the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP).🔹 The factors fueling monarchist sentiment: political instability, economic struggles, cultural identity, and geopolitical pressures.🔹 Government and public responses—are Nepalis ready to abandon democracy, or do they seek a balance with constitutional monarchy?🔹 Future scenarios—could a referendum bring back the king, or will the republic endure despite growing tensions?

Join us as we unpack the complexities of Nepal's monarchy movement, the tug-of-war between tradition and modernity, and what this could mean for the nation's future.
