Violent protests have erupted in Nepal as supporters of former King Gyanendra Shah demand the restoration of the monarchy, which was abolished in 2008. At least two people have died and over 30 were injured during clashes with police in the capital, Kathmandu. Authorities responded with tear gas and batons, and have since imposed a curfew and deployed the army to control the unrest. Protesters are also calling for the return of Nepal as a Hindu kingdom, reflecting growing dissatisfaction with the current political system. The demonstrations highlight deep divisions in the country over its republican status and secular identity.
