Is 'development' itself the cause of Nepal's problems?

Homey Ji,
I would not consider the recent past of Nepalese monachry as dictatorship at any point. Neither I am a monarchist.
If we talk about stability, there was more stability during Panchayat rule, but did that gained anything. I consider that 30 years under Panchayat rule as lost generation. We gained nothing during that.
Fast forward 20 years, what have we got. We got rid of monarchy, which will count as a major achievement, which was not done by any political party but was done by ordinary citizen like you and me. The country has gone backward in this 20 years. The population and corruption is over the roof.
I have not asked for army coup in particular, instead I said anything that could deliver the need of the oridnary citizen would be acceptable. Was that not the reason behind supporting the Maoist in the last general election ?
