confused, yes, many countries had been through autocratic rules in history. even many european countries who now are fine examples of democracy were once reigned by ruthless tyrant kings. however, after the people realized tyranny was wrong, many of them transformed and moved on, either through violent revolutions, or trhough peaceful transitions. nepal too has seen it's fare share of tyranny already (a century of ranas and 3 decades of panchayat), and now it's time to move on!
