Is it ---> "Had the economic progress made during those periods been due to specific policies and programs of then governments, yes, we must be giving them credit and acknowledgement."

Or is it------> "But I believe that was not the case."

Make up your mind dude. Don't be confusing people with afai bokshi afai jhankri. The stat that YOU provided earlier tend to disagree you O learned one.

"पञ्चायतकालमा हाम्रो गाउँका लोग्नेमान्छेहरु रातोदिन गाउँको चियापसलमा तास खेलेर बस्थे, अक्सर श्रीमति, दिदीबहिनीको गहना सहना बेचेर, अन्नपात चोरेर । प्रजातन्त्र आएपछि अचम्मै भयो । कोही काम खोज्न हिडे भने कोही सानोतिनो व्यवसाय गर्न थाले । यो रहस्यमय परिवर्तनको बारेमा म निकै घोत्लेको छु । र मेरो निर्क्योल उही मैले माथी भनेजस्तै आम मानिसमा ‘अब पहिलेको भन्दा राम्रो युग आयो’ भन्ने व्यक्त अव्यक्त बोध नै मानिसहरुमा देखा परेको उक्त नविन उद्यमशिलताको रहस्य हो भन्ने लाग्छ ।"

ha ha ha pretty naive to compare the entire nation's economic and social welfare based upon your gaun ? ha ha ha Ph. D. rey ha ha ha Hamilai yesley key thanya holaa kuniii ?

"The progress made during post 1990 era was mainly due to the self-motivated entrepreneurship of ordinary citizens inspired by general notion that democracy means more freedom, rule of law and nobody can steal your money (unlike in Panchayat when the notion was that anybody close to the palace can do anything to you and you can do nothing)."

So according to your theory they should be flourshing right now right ? Go ask those same self-motivated entrepreneurs of ordinary citizens what the current democracy(your so called pathetic republic movement whom you and your clown frens claim as a catlyst for bring upon this change with a wrath of lawlessness, extortion, raping, looting etc etc) has done for them. Then again you are probably going to dance around the issue and come up with lame logic likeyour gaun or MAYBE GOOGLE ANOTHER STAT TO SUPPORT YOUR LAME ASS THEORIES.
