Birthday of Nepali king

The king of Nepal, Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah is celebrating his birthday with all "royal" elegance. Though he has lost all what he used to possess, in term of power and number of chamchas. But still he has money. And we bhokha nanga Nepali can enjoy some peanuts shown by the "magera khane" king.

Some student and youths wings are all determined to foil the pro-monarchy gimmick. But the leaders are still all silent on this issue.

In this collenction, I would like to tell you how much the king snatches form the tax payers' purses. This is a data I recieved around two years ago from a person called "Nepali Janata". Here it goes

Dear Nepali citizens and foreign lovers of Nepal,
You might be wondering why Nepal is still poor when its countries of
equal economic status has reached the sky with booming economic
development.
Let me try to answer – this is one of the reason, I have recently found.

Nepal is one of the poorest counries of the world but Nepal's king is
the highest paid king of the world.

The income of Nepali king Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev is :
2,426 times higher than that of Chinese president
318 times higher than that of Indian president
301 times higher than that of Pakistani president
173 times higher than that of Russian president
57 times higher than that of French president
30 times higher than that of American president
15 times higher than that of British president

Netherlands queen's income : Rs. 22,32,00,000 (per capita income Rs 17,25,120 )
American president earns Rs. 3,24,00,000 (1,15,20,000 returns in tax),
(per capita income Rs 25,24,320)
Japanese king earns Rs. 22,23,52,000 (per capita income Rs.24,15,600)
Chinese president earns Rs. 1,35,000 (per capita income Rs 67,680)
Indian president earns Rs. 10,11,000 (per capita income Rs 34,560)
French president earns Rs 57,96,000 (per capita income Rs 15,84,000)
Pakistani president earns (after the coup) Rs 10,94,000 (per capita
income 29,520)
British Queen does not get any salary from the state. She has a
property of Rs 30,24,00,00,000 (the profit of investiment, after
paying the tax, is hers) but even her neckless is the property of the
country.
British president earns Rs 2,19,58,000 (per capita income is Rs 18,16,200)
Russian president earns Rs 19,03,000 (per capita income is Rs 1,54,000)
Belgean king receives salary as a civil servant (per capita income is
Rs 16,74,000)
And,
Nepali king earns Rs 61,91,00,000 (per capita income is Rs 16,560=US$ 230)
[This means the Nepali king earns Rs. 19,878 times higher than a
citizen. Last year it was 37,385 times higher. Thus a citizen can earn
as much as the king earns in a year only after working for 19,000
years or in 316 lives. Ho la!]

Appendix
