people take to the streets and make their voices impossible to ignore
I told the same to a local protester - so great Nepalese managed to go out and express their opinion.
However, many problems have already followed as a result of this revolution - chaos, and there is nobody to secure the normal life except for the army. The protest was infiltrated by dubious political parties and goons... Hopefully, Nepal will cope to solve this...
I think it's probably always about the political and social culture of the nation, any nation. The culture of governing... A process lasting dozens of years, centuries, consisting of tiny steps, and costing many innocent people killed and destroyed by imprisonment.
