Abstract: King Gyanendra of Nepal took over as a king after the royal massacre incidence in 2007. But soon after taking the power people of Nepal were fed up of his authoritarian tendencies and the continuous unrest in the country. The brutality of king Gyanendra compelled political forces in Nepal to come together against him irrespective of their political differences. People of Nepal voted in April and overthrew the Monarchy. This transformation of power from constitutional monarchy to people’s democracy was a milestone in the history of democratic movement in Nepal. The present paper describes the process of Nepal becoming a democratic state.
