Indeed, after the establishment of the Republic in Nepal, there was no change as expected by the common people, which only increased frustration and dissatisfaction. Corruption, political instability and the incompetence of rulers have fueled public discontent.

This fact cannot be denied. However, when looking for an alternative to it, there is no possibility of a better system than the republic.

E-Kantipur published on Sunday, the article 'Kohi Hausin Zahiri Chai' was timely. The article points out that the problem is not in the system, but in the way it is operated. Therefore, the message that citizen awareness, demand for reform and pressure is necessary to strengthen the republic rather than withdrawing in despair has been conveyed through his thoughts.

There is extreme despair in Nepal right now. People are angry because of corruption, misrule and failed leadership. Based on this situation, some forces are debating the return of the monarchy. But is it possible? Republic in Nepal was not just an election slogan of any party, it was also the result of historical struggle. The fall of the monarchy was a decision of the people, which cannot easily be reversed.

In the political history of Nepal, there are two possible paths of institutional change - electoral process and rebellion. The main way to change the system in a democratic system is to stay within the limits of the constitution. According to the constitution, if a group obtains a two-thirds majority, it can amend the constitution and propose a new political system. However, due to multi-party competition in Nepal, it is very difficult for a single party to achieve such a majority. Moreover, there is no strong evidence that the people are willing to return to the monarchy.

rebellion is another option, but it is a very difficult and complicated path. Successful insurgency requires organizational strength, committed cadres, security agencies and international support. The forces that want to restore the monarchy in Nepal seem to lack these elements. Even looking at history, the possibility of returning the monarchy through rebellion seems weak.

Distaste for the current system has arisen due to the anomalies of the past. The solution is not to go back to the past, but to adopt the path of reform. It is inevitable to take corrective measures while strengthening democracy. For this, it is necessary to strengthen democratic institutions. Strict action should be taken against maladministration and corruption. If the public representatives are made accountable and politics is made clean, transparent and people-oriented, the current resentment will automatically disappear.
