Indian hand in Nepal’s Royal Palace Massacre
By Isha Khan • Jan 27th, 2010 • Category: Politics • 4 CommentsFormer Prime Minister of Nepal Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda has accused India of carrying out the Palace massacre in which King Birendra was killed along with his family and also communist stalwart Madan Bhandari eight years ago, reports Telegraphnepal.com.
Prachanda, chairman of opposition UCPN (Maoist) party, claimed that the main reason behind the killing of the two adored figures had been their unequivocal love for their motherland. “They were both strong nationalists,” he said. “Both King Birendra and Bhandari were killed because they shared good relations with our party and they were about to meet me personally,” he said.The meeting with late King Birendra was tentatively fixed for May 25, eight days before he was murdered, as the information got leaked, lamented the Maoist supremo.
He categorically outlined three reasons for the murder of King Birendra: His proposal for Nepal as zone of peace, his preference for importing weapons from China and above all his nationalist credential were the prime reasons for his brutal murder.Of late the Maoist leader has whipped up the sentiment of the nation by launching a campaign to free the country from foreign interference, recover lands occupied by India and withdrawal of foreign troops from Nepalese territory Kalapani.
The Maoist leader also said that the entire responsibility for the Royal Palace Massacre on June 1, 2001 should be taken by the then Chief of the Nepal Army, Prajawal Shumser Rana. “The Nepal Army is bound to make public the reasons for the security lapses inside the Royal palace”, he demanded.”The murder spree of Nationalist Leaders continue since the War of Nalapani”, Prachanda said adding, “I could be killed any time from now but I do not fear death.”
“We had won the Nalapani War with the British, now it is time for us to get ready for a similar war”, he told a meeting of Maoist cadres in Gulariya of Bardia District on January 21.

Of course! This was obvious from the start was it not? Same for the Mumbai/Taj bombing - BJP extremists were behind this whole travesty of blaming Pakistan. Why did the Intelligence chief Hement get assassinated during this massacre? It was all a cover-up by BJP gangsters who were blazing mad with Hement’s move to arrest BJP criminals on charges of crimes against the State.
India’s cover up techniques will eventually come to bite them in the a_ _ since what goes around ..comes around.
@tipu. I agree with you. Pakistan is not the only country that is hurt by the mance of extremism. Militants have made life hell literally and they must be deafeated in whichever part of the world they are.
South Asia is in turmoil that India is taking the policy of aggressive intervention against the surrounding countries like Nepal, Bangaladesh, Srilanka and Pakistan. The task to destabilize the countries has been assigned to the notorious intelligence agency, RAW. A scholar Dr. Shreen M Mazari says “In Nepal, India has been intervening in the politics of Hindu Kingdom by promoting pro-Indians politicians”. Indian government is making difficult for Nepal to assert her sovereignty. Indian intelligence service Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has been fomenting violent deterioration in Nepal. In Nepal, Indian leaders especially the government of Congress (I) have been playing an active role to diffuse the democratic aspirations of the Nepalese people. In 1989, India imposed an economic blockade on Nepal. The reason was the expiring of the Trade and Transit Treaty. After the blockade, India had asked King Birendra to remain under the Indian security umbrella by enjoying the same status like the Bhutani King. But, the sovereign Nepalese’s King Birendra had rejected strictly, the Indian interest. Then, India has been starting the conspiracy against Nepal.
Some Indian leaders & RAW have been instigating the Madhesi people (some puppets of India) of the Tarai- southern belt. The Indian ambassador has been offering large sums of money for schools, hospitals, roads etc in odder to wean the masses away from the influence. The Tarai belt is burning with murders, kidnappings, lootings that is mounting day by day in the name of so-called ‘Madhesi supremacy’. Since 2000 AD, India wanted to abolish Nepalese monarchy anyhow. Nepalese monarchy is the convincing factor of Nepalese unity & sovereignty. But, the India never likes peaceful unity and inseparable Nepal. So, Indian Congress (I) leaders and RAW chief came to Nepal and put pressure to get rid of monarchy. Then, there starts the grand design of Royal massacre.
The main cause is the conspiracy of RAW (Research and Analysis Wing). RAW, has been standing to destabilizing the Nepalese unity from 2005. According to Professor Wang Hongwei of the Chinese Academy of Social sciences who is a veteran Nepal watcher, was in Kathmandu some days back made these remarks (2008 Nov. 13). ‘I firmly believe that Birendra’s affiliation to China finally became the prime reason for his ghastly murder, some power centers did not want late King Birendra to have good relations with China’. ‘Birendra was committed to serve his country, he had brought new ideas of cooperation with China, King Birendra believed that if Nepal is linked to the Silk Route, the country can have direct links to Europe and other countries mainly to import petroleum products’. ‘That is the prime reason why those alien power centers did not want him to survive’. ‘We had told him to remain careful while he was attending the BAO Summit held in China some years back’. ‘We had saved his life earlier as well; one of our Military attaché had informed him of such ill motives. It was since then he had friendly relations with China, however, we came to know at a later stage that some diplomats stationed in Kathmandu and leaders of some political parties too acted as accomplices in the murder’. Professor Wang conformed that RAW was responsible about the Royal massacre. Mr. Dixit also has commented - ‘The unsolved murder mystery of Indian PM Lalbahadur Shastri ( PM of India who was poisoned in Masco) and mystery of Royal Palace massacre may be hatched by RAW.’ (The Telegraph 12th Aug 2009)
How mysterious it is? In my analysis, Prince Dipendra & Devyani (Daughter of Pashupati Shamshre) was used by RAW in the Royal massacre. In massacre night (7-9 PM), she was in Dugad Niwas near by the Indian-Embassy at Lajimpat, and was asking the activities of Prince Dipendra to his ADC. This is open-secret. But, just after the Royal massacre, the next day, Devyani departed to Delhi when Girija was the powerful Prime minister. That is the suspicious- reality. The former PM and Maoist leader Prachanda, and the PM and UML leader Madhab nepal, have been making empty noises about the investigating of Royal massacre. This to remember that Madhab nepal was nominated as member of then investigation team (on the leadership of Chief Justice), but he denied to take part. What is that? Why the culprit party leaders are going to exercise in futility?
A prominent editor of Peoples Review (24 July 2009) Mr. Pushpa Raj Pradhan writes- ‘The Royal Palace bloodbath on 1 June, 2001 will remain as a black-day for the Nepalis in the history. The entire family members of King Birendra along with many members of the Royal Family were killed in that incident.
According to a noted scholar Dr Upendra Gautam, King Birendra was killed after 19 days of signing the Rasuwagadhi-Safrubeshi road, an access road linking Tibet with Nepal. Furthermore, he was killed immediately after his official visit to China. King Birendra, during those last days, was very much unhappy from the increasing Indian intervention in Nepal.
According to Janadharana weekly, those who had been monitoring minutely on the developments in Nepal, the Royal Palace bloodbath was carried out by those elements who didn’t want Nepal remaining as a sovereign nation. Late king Birendra had strong relations with China. He was assassinated immediately after his return from China. He had participated in the international summit at the Bao Forum, Hainan, China in 2001.
India had become further suspicious from King Birendra’s visit to China. Just before the bloodbath, the Indian intelligence had made public a report in which a fake allegation was made that Queen Aishwarya had provided 100 million Indian rupees to Tamil Tigers to assassinate Indian Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi. It can be assumed that from such a serious accusation made against the Royal Family, how much the Indians were annoyed with the Royal Palace? This can be taken as evidence that Indians were trying to abolish the respected institution of a neighbouring country.
India was demanding to provide citizenship certificates to all the Indians residing in Nepal. India had already bought all the parliament members to fulfil this cause. A bill on the amendment of the citizenship law was also passed by the Parliament. But King Birendra had rejected the bill from which India had become further angry with the monarchy in Nepal.’ That is the reality of the King Birendra’s and his family massacre. Who can ovoid the degrees of fate? The history of Indian conspiracy is the destructions of sovereign nations of south Asia. India should understand that the Nepalese people will never accept Indian interference.
According to former Prime Minister Marichman Singh, at the time of the movement of 1990, RAW brought together one dozen left parties who never used to see on each other’s eyes, just like the seven parties during 2005 and of course, forged a working alliance with the Nepali Congress. Thinking that Nepalese people would not hit the streets, India even brought 6,000 Bhutanese of Nepalese origin to Kathmandu to show Nepali faces in the movement. It is already published that after the movement of 1990 gained momentum, the then Indian Foreign Secretary, showing the scare of the people’s movement, came to Kathmandu on April 1990 with a draft agreement under which Nepal’s defense and foreign policy would be under Indian domain. But, late King Birendra had rejected the agreement outright. Many people believe that this was another cause of his untimely demise.
Similarly, a scholor Dr. Sastradatta Pant write- There are many questions yet to be answered. Just look at the current issues: Why the Royal Palace massacre took place immediately after the late King’s China visit? Why the parliament passed the finance bill in a disguised manner? Was King Birendra’s decision to consult the Supreme Court before giving Royal assent on a controversial bill the reason for the Royal Palace bloodbath? Why Indian political leaders put pressure on the marriage of the then Crown Prince Dipendra? How could the Maoists get safe shelter in
Indian territory? How did they get arms from India? Why the five political parties are launching a “joint-movement” at the time when the Maoists have announced cease fire? Why the political parties are trying to limit the Royal Palace role as well as the Army affairs? Why KV Rajans are here at the time of change of the government? After all, who are running such games from behind the scene?
The reality is that India still maintains its wish to keep Nepal under its security umbrella. Now it is well established that India, after 2005, is stepping towards Bhutanisation, Sikkimisation and Fijisation of Nepal by using Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai of Maoist, Girija of NC, Madhab nepal of UML. All of the conspiracy is being done in the name of abolition of monarchy. Therefore, in the absence of a leader who can take stance, India conspires to make Nepal a failed state. Nepalese monarchy is the pillar of Nepalese identity and sovereignty. The Royal institution of Nepal is for its people and a force that fought against the imperialists. India had been investing to establish a republic in Nepal with the help of our corrupt party leaders as well as the palace’s corrupt cronies & sycophants. So, everybody can understand the story of Royal massacre.
Thank you.

An account of: Nepalese Royal Palace Massacre-2001 with evidence
BY DIRGHA RAJ PRASAI
‘A little leak will sink a great ship.’ To much involving on Nepal’s internal issues is the big mistake of India. Since 1950 South Asia is in turmoil that India is taking the policy of aggressive intervention against the surrounding countries like Nepal, Bangaladesh, Srilanka and Pakistan. Frist of all, I request to judge the intention of India on Sikkim in 1974-1975. According to the hint of RAW, Sikkim’s Prime Minister the traitor Lendub Dorje, “appealed” to the Indian Parliament for representation and change of Sikkim’s status to a state of India. In April 1975 the Indian army moved into Sikkim, seizing the capital city of Gangtok, disarming the Palace Guards and putting the King Chogyal under forceful house arrest. The King Chogyal never renounced his throne and hoped till the end that justice would win. The Kingdom which had defended its independence for 300 years against powerful neighbors was annexed by India in April 1975 and became the 22nd state of the Indian Union. The misty was that in 10th April 1975 India annexed Sikkim by staging a dramatic statute assembly election by keeping the Sikkim King separate from sovereignty.
Similarly, Indian maintains its wish to keep Nepal under its security umbrella. India knows- Nepal could remain an independent and sovereign country only because of monarchy. Indian interest is not in favor of the Nepalese monarchy. So, everybody suspect the mysterious conspiracy on Royal Palace Massacre by RAW of India. Actually, We, Nepalese people regard Indian people, culture and traditions but not the intervention of Indian leaders. I am not bias and never minimizing the facts. We have to maintain friendly relations with India due to our similar cultural and religious traditions. But sadly, Indian Government ( Congress I) is going to destabilize Nepal through its Nepalese culprits leaders.
In Nepal, four years ago (2005), India had laden the Maoist rebellion along with Nepali Congress, UML and others with the 12-point agreement for so-called full democracy. That movement that ensued after the 12-point agreement was not for a republic state. In fact, the movement had stopped only with an agreement between the king and the political parties with the internal consent of the Maoists. After the agreement the king handed the power to the people, then, India committed to capture Nepal after declaring it republic (unconstitutionally, forcefully) through the so-called 601-members Constituent Assembly. Robbers, murderers and those wanted by the law were elected to the constituent assembly. There are some questions. How an election forced upon the country and done on the behest of foreigners can gain validity? As the party leaders and politicians do whatever the South Block and the RAW tell them? Yes, they are doing.
Even while walking on the path directed by RAW, Narayan Man Bijukchhe of Nepal Workers and Peasants Party, one among the seven parties, said India was exerting its influence on Nepal’s political, diplomatic, economic and social sectors. RAW is the main liaison to do this. Saroj Raj Adhikary has written in Nepal Saptahik, a weekly magazine, that ‘India, through RAW, is taking the disgruntled groups of the Terai as a medium to serve its political and economic interest in Nepal. RAW is active in Nepal for the last 40 years’. Jan Aastha, another Left weekly, writes: former Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula is a man who has close contacts with the Indian intelligence network’. Similarly, whatever he says to former Prime Minister GP Koirala, Dr. Shekhar Koirala exports agents of Indian intelligence agency (26 Dec 2007). When the country is seized by these traitors how can there be peace? The traitors smashed the statues of late King Prithvi Narayan Shah (who unified Nepal before 250 years ago) and the greatest nationalist King Mahendra. Nepal is in a precarious juncture. Indian from the very beginning wants Nepalese industries to be closed. It desires to fail the state. The Delhi 12 points agreement 2005 has been the major cause to disintegrate Nepal. So, Nepalese people are ready to fight against the traitors & foreigner’s conspiracy.
Late His Majesty King Birendra strongly believed that “Nepal’s history and tradition have bound her people and Monarchy in an enduring and intimate relationship, injecting in the Institution an inherent feature of honoring and being guided by popular will and aspiration of the people”. Throughout his reign, the welfare of the people was always uppermost in his mind. He always endeavored to live up to their expectations and ensure a balanced all-round development. During his coronation in 1975, he declared free primary education throughout the country and also proposed that Nepal be declared a Zone of Peace. Including USA, 116 nations support the declaration of Zone of Peace but India denied. Nepal has ties with India since the Muslim rule there, but Nepal always faced threat from India.In the name of democracy (Indocracy), India always plays the Drama with the Nepalese agents.
The Nepalese people had to bear the sudden loss of their beloved ‘Monarch’ in a dreadful and unanticipated incident that occurred in the Narayanhity Royal Palace on 1st June 2001. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Dipendra (born 1971) was in a coma in hospital, was declared king. His Royal Highness Prince Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah, brother of His late Majesty King Birendra was proclaimed regent in accordance with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal - 1990. King Dipendra (at the age of 29) passed away the next day. According to the constitution, then, His Royal Highness Prince Gyanendra was proclaimed king of the Kingdom of Nepal.
The Crown prince Dipendra was fallen in love with Devyani. Being Devyani’s mother birth-place India (Gwaliyar) and her mother’s mother was lower Rana family, so the King & queen denied him to marry with Devyani. Then, Dependra became aggressive to his parents. In such condition, RAW penetrated in the story. RAW agents convinced Devyani to hypnotize Prince Dipendra so that he would kill his father and become the King himself. The Queen had proposed him to bring as a kept-wife. The mother of Devyani was also furious because she herself wanted to marry King Birendra in past. She was jealous to Queen Aiswarya and wanted her daughter to be queen of Nepal.
After the misfortune incident Dependra puzzled out and he was nervous. And he shouted himself by his left hand, because his eating & writing practice was by left hand. In that black night Prince Gyanendra was at Pokhara for the meeting of King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation.
This is open-secret that Prince Dipendra and Devyani were used by RAW in the Royal massacre. In massacre night (7-9 PM), she was in Dugad Niwas near by the Indian-Embassy at Lajimpat, and was asking the activities of Prince Dipendra to his ADC, Raju Karki, now he is in America. First of all, the PM Girija Prasad sent the message to Indian PM from the Army Hospital by telephone. But, just after the massacre, the next day, Devyani departed to Delhi when Girija was the powerful Prime minister. Mr. B. Dixit has commented - ‘The unsolved murder mystery of Indian PM Lal Bahadur Shastri (PM of India who was poisoned in Masco) and mystery of Royal Palace massacre may be hatched by RAW.’ (Janabhawana, Nepali weekly-10thAug.2009)
After publishing my article in News Blaze, Namrata Dongel comments in News Blaze, Newsletter- USA – 17th Aug 2009- ‘I saw a documentary on Discovery Channel on 16th august 2009 at around 6 pm, which was about the Royal Massascre. It has presented the story as recited by the eye witnesses and so called Relatives. The actors used in the story are Indians. It presented the views of some of the foreigners closely associated with Nepal, but it didn’t include any of the Nepali people except the King’s relatives. That’s why I thought it must be a work of some Indians to humiliate Nepal in front of the world.’ Similarly, Dibakar Pant comments in News Blaze -’I found his (D.R. Prasai) recent published article titled “India’s Hand in Nepal Royal Palace Massacre-2001 article based on historical and factual reality. Indeed, because of factual positions, dealings and doings, rapprochements and existing policy that India is seen playing with its neighbors, it itself is creating enough ground for a doubt on the issue raised by the writer.’
Similarly, the Maoist leader Prachanda also has said, recently (City hall, Kathmandu-9th Jun.2010 in a public speech) ‘The royal Massacre-2001,’Nepal peace Zone proposal and import of arms from China- from which India was unhappy. King Birendra was murdered just before he had shown interests to meet the Maoist leaders’. Now, former- minister and ambassador 0f India Chakra Prasad Bastola- who helped GP Koirala hijacking an aircraft from Nepal to India in 1974, also has disclosed the message of royal Palace Massacre-2001-’ I feel (the palace massacre) was jointly planned by Indian and the US. the reason is that nothing can happen in Nepal without Indian involvement. The US is a giant world power, nothing happens without its knowledge. So I think both were involved’.
After the Massacre, Madhab Nepal, the leader of UML suggested to form an inquiry commission. But, after tomorrow he twisted his word, may be, according to the advice of RAW. This is to remember that Madhab nepal was nominated as member of then investigation team (on the leadership of Chief Justice), but he denied to take part. To create confusion in the Royal massacre phenomenon, the former PM and Maoist leader Prachanda, and the PM and UML leader Madhab nepal, have been making empty noises about the investigating of Royal massacre. Recently, a prominent Journalist Devprakash Tripathi has written in Ghatana Ra Bichar, Nepali weekly newspaper, all about the reality and conspiracy of the Royal Palace Massacre, pointing the another madness Tul Prasad Sherchan who was taking responsibility for the Palace Massacre. (12th Aug.2009)
After the Royal Palace Massacre, to diverse the blame to RAW, the Moaist leader Dr. Baburam Bhattarai wrote, according to the hint of P. Harmij (Nepal-Chief of RAW) that the King Gyanendra was responsible to create the Palace massacre, 2001. (Kantipur Nepali daily Nepali- 6th June 2001 (Bs 2058 Jestha 24) it is notable that after Royal Massacre P. Harmij appointed the Chief of RAW in India. Then, the demure start that the Palace massacre was created by King Gyanendra to capture regime. After the Royal Massacre-2001, the so-called People’s movement 2005, which was guided by RAW, was two vital agendas- one Republic and another Secular state. Then, RAW’s the Drama starts to disintegrate unity of the country.
It is necessary to quote S. D.Muni (Professor of J. N. U. and the policymaker of south block & the strategist of RAW ) in his article ‘Dealing with a new Nepal’ in ‘The Hindu’ Daily on 15th September 2008 has conceded that India had provided one billion rupees for running the agitation. ‘With those resources along with the guidelines of south-block, they could forge the mass movement. Recently (29 Jun 2009, The Kathmandu Post), then Indian foreign minister Pranab Mukharjee accepted that the Maoist party which was an extremist party and chose violence, was convinced by India and compelled to join mainstream politics. According to him, they also convinced other mainstream political parties (Nepali Congress, UML) to form government by including Maoist party also. Till then Maoist was protected and armed by Indians. Within a month of the conclusion of the people’s uprising on 19 May, 2005, Jug Suraiya (columnist) of ‘The Times of India’ (a newspaper run by RAW) had described, “India and China must divide and share Nepal as it has now become a failed state”. The culprit leaders (Congress, UML & Maoist) remained silent against the concerning game of the RAW strategy.
History says and everybody knows the monarchy is a symbol of Nepalese unity and nationality. In between the two big neighbors- China and India, the monarchy has been playing a balanced role. So, Nepalese monarchy is the most convincing identity of Nepal’s independence and democracy. King Gyanendra is also a most nationalist who can stand with cause and effect on national scenarios. But, the culprit’s leaders are going to support ethicist based Federal structure in Nepal. Now, in Tarai, the Indian immigrants are active for caste-based Federal states- ‘one Madhesis one state with total autonomy’ to upset Nepalese unity.
The Indian Congress should not forget that due to RAW’s naked conspiracy angry-Panjabi and Sri Lankan people killed Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Why were Indian agents and Mujibar Rahaman (who was made the Bangladeshi president by ‘RAW’ after creation of Bangladesh by separating Pakistan in 1975) killed? The Indian Congress should also not forget the act of nationalist Bengalese against the disgusting conspiracy by ‘RAW’. Nepalese people within country or abroad will not keep on tolerating the continued intervention.
The 1 June 2001 incident had shocked the nation, besides their Majesties King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya, Their Royal Highnesses Prince Nirajan and Princess Sruti Rana along with five other Royal Family members and relatives lost their lives after being fatally wounded during a family gathering at the Narayanhity Royal Palace. After ascending the throne on June 4, 2001, His Majesty King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev had, through a Royal Proclamation, constituted a two-member high-level investigation committee comprising Chief Justice Keshav Prasad Upadhyaya and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tara Nath Ranabhat. In the report made public on June 14, 2001 after extensive investigations, the committee concluded that bullet injuries were the cause of death of all killed in the incident. Summarizing the report at a press conference organized to make the report public, Speaker Ranabhat said the committee had found that gunshots fired by the then Crown Prince Dipendra caused the deaths of their late Majesties King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya and seven others. The heart-rending tragic incident underscored, once again, the unique bond that has always bound the institution of Monarchy and the Nepalese people. That is the reality and evidence of Palace massacre of Nepal -2001.
