초록/요약
The major argument in this comprehensive writing is that the massive celebration was made after the success of the Democratic Movement I as a complete restoration of democracy, and accordingly a number of literatures have been scribed. However, based on the constitution made and the Post-mass Movement I scenario, the democratic practice was sort of undemocratic, making the people fool for time being. This is more likely to trace that a little was done, which further led to tragic Maoist insurgency for a decade, dethronement of the king after 240 years of its successive history, election of the constitution assembly and its efforts being made Federal based on the agreements made among political parties are under discussion. Divided into five distinguished sections, the first section-figuring out the literature gap in the topic I am writing with- introduces the key concept of the thesis title, how it differs from theoretical ones and how the Hindu culture as a soft power tool was used by the Palace to place its existence after Post-democratic Movement I. Meanwhile, a number of research questions are put forward so as to get the crux of the loopholes in the existing theories and its literature. Also procedures of research are projected to make the readers feel that the research is being carried out with assumption, certain methodology and the awareness of the factors barring in making the research. The second segment deals with review of literatures basically on democracy, democratization, democratic revolution, democratic movement and a case study of Satyagraha in India. The very section is further likely to poke why and how the author is different from others and finally is to make a synopsis and evaluation of the past studies, whereas the third section makes a round on how partial democratic practice has been made which led to Maoist insurgency, the DM II and to the intense ethnic and federal/governance/judicial conflicts. The fourth section makes an analysis of Foucauldian concept of horizontal power and its operational tools as Hindu festivals and the increasing number of students enrolled every year. The final section makes an evaluation on theoretical and practical development of democracy in Nepal and lets the readers know when and how situation changes from one corner of a world to the other. Democracy does not make its way straight: sometimes yes, sometimes no and sometimes quite crooked as well. This depends on socio-economic and political phenomenon, leadership quality, international relation, perception of the general people and many more. This is not to say that the democracy is the ultimate tool in bringing happiness and prosperity, rather it could make a reverse walk and kill itself- almost the very situation Nepal is making right at the moment.
