Gorkey,

Music and Culture: I do believe that the kings did do a good job on preserving our "maulikta". Our culture was definetly strong and unique. The team that Birendra put on Radio Nepal were definetly awesome. Narayan Gopal, NatiKaji, Aruna lama, Tara devi, Deepak Kharel, deepak Jangam and many others were great assets. keeping our "maulikta"  unique helped the kings to identify Nepal and Nepali different from India and Hindi.

Education: Mostly higher and quality education was not available to ordinary Nepali, it was almost impossible for regular folks to get higher education in Nepal or go abroad.

Peace: I would not really compare the SILENCE FROM FEAR that dictatorship provied as PEACE.

Social Security: You are right...people were definitely more scared of authorities than they are now.

National Pride: It was definitely higer than what it is now.

Economic Growth: I am no economist and i do not have numbers to compare the growth but it seems like people definetly are able to afford more things in last 15 years than during Birendra's time.

My leaders huh? If you want my opinions about the leaders, All leaders we have now are diseases, diseases caused by the man pari tantra, lazyness, ineffectiveness, natabaad, and feudalism that prospered since Prithivi Narayan's death.
