A People's Movement in Nepal - The Promise and the Perils
The Nepali revolution of Spring 2006 was a formidable show of a true people's movement. The strength of the Nepali civil society was apparent in the outpouring of a massive number of diverse peoples, with a strong contingent of youth onto the streets. Today, for the first time in Nepali history, there exists a possibility of a new constitutional parliament and Nepal is finally a secular nation. The palace has lost its power and the political parties have perhaps realized their fundamental role to serve the people rather than their own interests.
