The situation in Nepal can only be rendered solvent from the perspective of the parties engaged: the King Gyanendra, Nepali Congress, Maoists and the Nepalese army. At the moment, the king and the army are together against unusual cobbling of seven party alliance (SPA) plus the maoists. The offer made was no newer trick to split the ranks, but the king has failed to recekon this time that the situation has gone far his petty maneuvres.
There is need to have a stable transition process so as the king is assured of his stakes in Nepal nation-society and the people's aspiration are carefully weaned off any militant characteristics that are potentially dangerous for the neighbourhood. The demands a peace process along the lines of BONN AGREEMENT. The Bonn Agreement can serve as model to step by step transition to democracy, in which the king to can be party to constitution formulation. No doubt, avoiding any electoral process cannot be the solution. Hence, people and the king should come to a set up where the constitutional dialogue can be initiated. There is need to carefully condition this process externally. SAARC can be the appropriate platform, where India and Pakistan can take the lead with China and the US as strategic players, which they are in any case.
