When there is a hue and cry about  indians gaining citizenship illegally in Nepal, but we have big issues when Bhutan kicks out illegal Nepalis.

Lot of people mistake democracy for the right to vote. but democracy is not just that! Do you really think we have democracy right now?

Think again, because democracy needs the following 4 elements:

1. System for choosing and replacing govt in free and fair elections
2. Ability of citizens to participate in politics and civics life
3. Protection of human rights of all citizens
4. Rule of law that applies equally to all citizens.

It is not a democracy till all elements are set. The fear is that they may never be set which means it's going to be worse than any monarchy.
