Dangerously deluded monarchists

Sensible Nepalis should aim for the secular republic's reformation and revitalisation.

In his famous book The God Delusion (2006), Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins considers the belief in god a “pernicious delusion”. In Nepal, where Shah kings long ruled with an iron fist under the alleged commandment of the Hindu gods, the idea of returning to monarchy now is also a delusion—an improbable and dangerous one at that.
