There was a strong backing of India to bring democracy in 1990..infact our leaders had requested for their support..and now also instead of convincing the peopel of Nepal, instead of going to villages of nepal, our leaders are visiting india, lobbying there..I feel like they are begging for democracy with indial, and like in 1990 if india gives we'll get democracy, and if not we'll not..and the things that are not achieved by oneself and are begged cannot last for long like the one we got in 1990 didn't last long.. I don't remember the date, but once when Nepal got some arms from China..india sealed the border with Nepal.. India let the bhutanese refugees to enter nepal through their land, but now they are not allowing them to enter bhutan through their land.. THere are many such instances where india's vision toward nepal has been made clear.. And though nepal was not making rapid progress in economy during panchayat era, but the economy was rising steadly,AT LEAST THERE WAS PEACE IN THE COUNTRY.. but with introduction of democracy nepal was able to attract foregn investment more than before..economy seemed to be rising, though virtual..but at the cost of what? .. Emergence of maosits, and the consequences thereafter..i blame the poltiical parties for that..
