List three challenges to democracy in Nepal.

Open in App
Solution

The main challenge to democracy in Nepal is characterised by the triangular conflict between three entities:
a. Monarchist forces- They support the king and include armed forces. The king, with the support of the army, has contained the expansion of democracy in Nepal.
b. The Democrats- This includes a section of pro-democracy political parties and common people who wage a struggle for democracy in the region. They have been demanding a more open, responsive and accountable system.
c. Maoists- They believe in armed rebellion against the king and the ruling class. In fact, Nepal faces the challenge of establishing democracy, setting up a new constituent assembly, dealing with unrest in Terai regions and dealing with Maoists.
