Popular Struggles and Movements
In our country, India and in the world in general, or even in our lives, we do not value things that come easy. Anything that we achieve as an outcome of struggle or movement becomes invaluable to us. How can you forget the popular struggles for independence in India? Things did not end there. Even today, there are some countries, even India, that have to undertake struggles and movements, to achieve what they desire. So, here we’ll discuss some of the popular struggles and movements.
Movement for Democracy in Nepal
In April 2006, Nepal experienced an extraordinary popular movement. The agenda of the movement was to restore democracy. People fought to regain popular control over the government from the king.
Nepal is a third wave country. It won democracy in 1990. Post that, the king used to formally the head of the state but the real power was exercised by the elected representatives. The king Birendra accepted this transition from absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. Sadly, he and his entire family were massacred in 2001.
The new king appointed was King Gyanendra. He, however, was not ready to accept the democratic rule. On February 2005 he dismissed the Prime minister and dissolved the popularly elected Parliament.
