But even on the best days, electricity routinely dies in the heart of the capital, Kathmandu, where the hum of thousands of generators is a normal soundtrack of life. There have been centuries of instability, oppression, and bloodshed, and, in recent decades, a massacre of the royal family by the Crown Prince and a Maoist insurgency that killed thousands.
