VincentBodega's comment is completely unjustifiable. It seems he does not know that democracy is the norm not system like panchayat. Mahendra did not thought about the welfare of his subject and country while taking power! It was his thirst for power that gave birth to panchayat. You can refere lot of book on Nepal's hystory. I dont understand why some people believe in autocracy and try to undermine the common people?
