Democracy And Civic Consciousness

Nepal, a country with about 30 million people, is a democratic and sovereign state. It has gone beyond the governance and constitutional monarchy stages. Despite that, we have suffered bitterly to move away from those systems at the expense of our blood through internal wars and chaos—everything inhumane. It is due to this kind of democracy that, after reaching such an age, we are able to get our own constitution, innumerable infrastructure projects besides civil policies, and so on. The main turning points in the political structure of Nepal are said to be two revolutions: 2046 BS and 2063/63 BS. After World War II, the practice of democracy became global, and Nepal too gained a democratic government for the first time about 73 years ago. Some people still believe that it is not correct to implement a democratic state such as Nepal. The main question regarding the above statement is the literacy rate. Though the literacy rate has risen to around 76 per cent recently, people's consciousness about democracy is still low. Countries like the US and UK claim that their normal people need not know everything regarding their political environment and government because they have evolved way too far to be respectful regarding systems and people.
