Virtually one of the only good sources of news that I can find, Radio Free Nepal has a roundup of the latest stories coming out of the country. And pictures.

And the emergence of yet another Nepali blogger! I think we will start to see more and more of these as the crisis goes on.

UPDATE: Even more!

One Nepali blogger notes that the tide may be turning against the monarchy.

Just look at this. I am giving King G a few more weeks.

With India, US, and UK united, China is not going to even think of meddling. So India does not have to worry about “balancing it out” with China. Another evidence Gyanendra trying to repeat the Mahendra use of the China card is obsolete, out of date by about 45 years.

And the US and UK want India to play the lead. So it boils down to India. And India has made it very clear where it stands. Bring back press freedom, release all political prisoners, restore basic rights.

The king kicked the Nepali people out of the equation totally. Now it looks like his entire gameplan rested on international support. This guy is so far away from reality, it is not even funny. His plan has backfired in ways he can not even begin to fathom.

And look at this Ramesh Nath Pandey guy. He actually would like India and the US to believe that there is only one force standing between the Maoist takeover of India, and possibly even the US, and that force is the king, and so India and the US should support the king, for their own good. This has got to be the Mount K2 of delusion.

What these Monarchist autocrats are failing to see, among many things, is that India is an emerging global superepower, on par with the US and UK. And Indian opinion matters. It matters a lot on the question of democracy in Nepal. It matters totally.

India is halting all support for the monarchy, and will now be applying major pressure to end the abuses going on there. Note how this blogger’s comments are in line with one’s I’ve made previously regarding India. Self-praise, anyone?
