Hushhappy jyu, " answer 1. For russia it took over 1000 years and it was worth it. For France couple of 100s after mary antonnaite resembled our 'inoccent viper' himani. India 500, cuba som decades: in the end it was worth it.For nepal, a full democracy to bloom would take as much time it should: anywhere from 40-60 with the help of rest of the world. Russia, for 70 years was not a democarcy. It was a communist totalitarian state from 1917-1991. And tdoay's Russia is not a liberal democratic state either. The President has more power than the Parliament, Duma. Putin is basically running a one man show. The problem is not with the political system for the most part. The problems start with the economy. You have a good economy, people don't care about true, real democracy. Its only when the people are poor and starving, they start to look for others to blame for their misery. This is when all the problems start. Otherwise, how would you explain that England still has a King? -40-60 years spent on consolidating democarcy would make us go 100 years backwards. So 40- 60 eyars under a strong visionary leader (whether it be King or somebody else) rather than democarcy is the only way to democratize Nepal in 40-60 years.
