When I visit Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, King Gyanendra is still reeling and the city is surrounded by Maoist rebels. The cannon that sat on the throne was a massacre that turned the world 2001. The crown prince shot dead his parents, Kings, and the cream of the royal family. After the regicide, the crown could only sit at the head of Gyanendra.
