Ex King Speaks

Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, Nepal's most recent king, finally spoke out about his being ousted two years ago.  The articles focus on the king living as an ordinary tax-paying citizen.  Gyanendra drops hints that he was betrayed by the political parties jockeying for power.  This betrayal ended his reign, also ending the 239-year Hindu monarchy rule of Nepal.
