In the current political scenario, it is interesting to compare Bhutan and Nepal.

As the maoist revolution is yearning bitter fruits much to the dismay of the hopeful population, many people from the Panchayet era are reminescing the Royal rule. While many are reminescing those days, the naysayers are abound trying to cut any remaining signs of monarchy, to push the country into a democratic platform where the majority determines the fate of the nation.

Few scholars all over the world have already researched that democracy is not feasible in an impoverished country where education is only available to a priviledged few. This research is proving to be true in the himalayan landscape, with every day spinning the future of the entire country into a downward spiral black hole.

At this point, it might make sense to take a look at Bhutan which has been ruled by a monarch just like Nepal about a decade ago. In Bhutan, instead of gross domestic product, they measure the gross domestic happiness and they probably score well on it.
