INTRODUCTION
Beyond
Bharatvarsha, but bordering on its bounds there lies Nepal, a tiny but mighty
independent lone Hindu Kingdom, sharing many characteristic features of Aryan
culture, although retains a distinct identity of its own. The people believe in
the divine right of kingship, and the rulers embodying divine humanism are
enjoying several privileges, which the democratic countries of modem times could
neither dream, nor fulfill with any prop whatsoever. At any time. The royalty
exercises its sovereign powers both over secular and spiritual domains and
passes for the true representative of god. "Na vishnuh Prithvirpatih"
concept is not only claimed, but upheld and implemented in its full spirit. To
the last letter, as a matter of fact. The king in the role of the deputy of God
not only parades his supremacy, but gets it honored with unbounded faith and
unparalleled fervour.
