I feel there might have been a controversy, but it is not all clear if Gyanendra was involved. In any case it was very injurious for the Hindus.[right][snapback]63994[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->A Nepalese couple then studying with me at university were devastated by the news of the murders. They told me that it was perpetrated by the maoists and others were expressly framed. I didn't know what to think (knew next to nothing of Nepali politics then, all I knew was Manisha Koirala was Nepali and that Nepal was a Hindu kingdom.)
Don't know whether this was merely the general suspicion on the part of Hindu Nepalese, grounded on their experience of communist terrorists in their country; or whether contextual evidence that made sense to them (and others of their country) led them to this conclusion.
Since then, having read through IF postings on the topic, I came to think the event was highly suspicious too, and incredibly convenient for the communist elements. Seems more than gawd's miracle gift to communists and missionaries.
