Thanks for you note "what more", but I would still disagree with you. The world is changing extremely rapidly. We acheived more in the last fifty years than we did in the last five hundred years. Therefore if magna carte is 700 years old, that does not mean that it is how much time we need to "institutionalize" democracy in Nepal, especially when we have prior events to teach us. What is extremely important in democracy is education. Without educating people what their role is in a democratic world, you can not expect them to just go ahead and act appropriately. That is why 700 yrs of magna carte history because there was no training and that is because there was no trainer. Same is not true in Nepal. There were trainers. The so-called leaders were supposed to be the trainers. I don't think the current demostration is "being versed in democratic norms". I think it is just the frustration that people are experiencing for last 14 months. If people were being versed in democratic norms, this demonstration would have taken place on Feb 2 last year, not now. It is happening now because people found out that the leaders were doing nothing and therefore they were hopeful that the king would bring some drastic good changes to the country and they waited for a year. Since that did not happen and they found that the king did not fulfill their needs, they are frustrated and came down in the streets.
