- Nepal (Raja Birendra ko Hatyakanda)

Advertisement Birendra succeeded to the Nepalese throne on 31 January 1972 after the death of his father, King Mahendra. On his ascension he was effectively
an absolute monarch as he inherited a country where political parties were banned and he ruled through a system of local and regional councils known as panchayats.

6] Birendra resented the absolute monarch tag maintaining that he presided over a democracy in which representatives to the assembly were indirectly elected and saying that his poor and backward country could not afford a democracy




based on party politics and that it needed firm and decisive government.[9] His first trips abroad as king were to India in October 1973 and China two months later

[10] as he believed that Nepal, sandwiched between the two Asian powers, should have good relations with both.[11 Advertisement
