...never understood why the plan required a building that large," says Leone. "It's become a symbol of defiance. I understand there is a lot of emotion, but at the end of the day you're spending public money. The original World Trade Center didn't make money for 10 years. To go through that again doesn't make sense...

He says that whatever the King's faults, the older generation still revere him as an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, a symbol of national unity and a linchpin of Nepalese identity. Even the young find it hard to picture Nepal without its monarchy. "The reality is that all the plans for the future are vague," says Bhandari. "Everyone has democracy, freedom and human rights in their hearts. And we know none...
