19. Democracy

Democracy has been regarded as an ideal form of government in which the people are

ed by their own elected representatives. It is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. It is a people's government in which the voice of the people is supreme and where laws are formed according to their wishes.

The chief advantage of democracy is that it is based upon the principal of consent and equality. Democracy grants no special freedom to an individual and upholds the dignity of the common man. It upholds the principle of liberty. It is a government that allows freedom of speech, religion and political opinion. Fundamental rights of citizens are guaranteed by the constitution. Sovereignty lies on the people of the country.

People can freely criticize the government and use all peaceful and legitimate means to change it, if it does not reflect their wishes.

In Nepal, the restoration of Democracy in the year 2046 B.S. brought with it many hopes and expectations, but unfortunately it had to pass through several trials and tribulations till 2063 B.S. Now after the signing of the Comprehensive National Peace Treaty, which reiterates the full commitment towards democratic value and acceptance including multiparty democratic system of government, civil liberty, fundamental rights, human rights, full press freedom and concept of rule of law, the hopes and expectations of the Nepalese have rejuvenated and we all are hoping for a pure democratic form of government in the near future.

In sum, the future and success of democracy is in our hand. If we develop democratic spirit, temper, and character and become Nepalese in true sense, it can certainly become success. Intellectuals should come forward and create better society with a true democratic spirit to march further in a democratic way.
