About Gyanendra of Nepal

  • Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (Nepali: ??????????? ???; gyanendra Sah; born 7 July 1947) reigned as the last King of Nepal from 2001 to 2008 and is also known as the world's last Hindu king.
  • As a child, he was briefly king from 1950 to 1951, when his grandfather, Tribhuvan, went into exile in India with the rest of his family.
  • His second reign began after the 2001 Nepalese royal massacre. Gyanendra's second reign was marked by constitutional turmoil.
  • His predecessor King Birendra had established a constitutional monarchy in which he delegated policy to a representative government.
  • The growing insurgency of the Nepalese Civil War during King Gyanendra's reign interfered with elections of representatives.
  • After several delays in elections, King Gyanendra suspended the constitution and assumed direct authority in February 2005, asserting that it would be a temporary measure to suppress the Maoist insurgency.
  • In the face of broad opposition, he restored the previous parliament in April 2006.
  • His reign ended about two years later, when the Nepalese Constituent Assembly declared Nepal a republic and abolished the monarchy.
