I though Dr. Karki has some thing locical to say about emerging politics in Nepal. I read the whole article and concluded that he is not a doctor because he does not diagnoise the symptoms of illiberal democracy that he fears would emerge in Nepal. he does not understands how the socio-economic aspects interacts with the institutions and how that interaction would lead to the evoluiton of political institutions like demand for constitutent assembly and of course outcome of election for that. The demand for constituent assembly has been a political agenda in Nepal since 1950 but Kings have been deferring for that. I don't understand how he concluded that the election for constitutent assembly would lead to illiberal democracy when nepalese people are trying to reinforce full democracy?
