One interesting fact that isn't known w.r.t. the situation in Nepal is that the King's(a Hindu monarch) PM appointee is a Christian. I don't know how Christian he is, but he is a convert to Jenova's Witness during his stay in India.

The King's move is highly supported by Buddhist monks of Nepal and Hindu right-wing groups of India.

Just curious. Who is winning right now?

Has the King crushed the Maoists yet?
Is the King leaning toward China or India, or he is still trying to get the best deal?
