Greetings All
Although I was born in Nepal I have lived in USA most of my life. The recent events have really shocked me and I could not believe all that occurred?
However looking back to Nepal, I have come to realize couple of questions, not about the King or Monarchy but about how the government is setup in Nepal?
1) Why did Nepal setup a British style imperialistic democracy instead of a more stable republic type of democracy?
My Opinion: Republic style, I believe provides more of a objective type of government and assures more fair play due to the checks and balances garnered by the 3 institutions (executive, legislative and judicial).
Basically a Girza type of person would not be able to survive in republic type of government, the executive leader would be directly elected by the people (the President/Premier) not the majority in the House.
2) How can communist parties and maoist parties co-exist within democracy?
My Opinion: The word communism/maoism by definition should be taboo in the context of democracy, because all that is communist/maoist are directly a threat to the idea of democracy and national security!
I believe Nepal is not a democracy, has not been in the last decade, I believe Nepal is still trying find it’s niche. Until Nepal finds out what kind of philosophy Nepal wants to develop, Nepal will be running in anarchy.
Please feel free to elaborate and disagree with my remarks! That is why I support the democracy!
