With KP Sharma Oli as prime minister, Nepal became the first democratically elected government. This country's journey from absolute monarchy to multi-party democracy is not a story of countless sacrifices and many resistance, seldom peaceful. The Maoist movement lasted only ten years, but deprived the lives of 17,000 people. Ori takes over the criticism of the leftist coalition government, but it is interesting for Indian readers to recall that the destructive journey of Nepal will become a republic. Like the ancient proverbs of Rome, Nepal is not a republic of today, but it is the result of a long struggle among people. Since the 1950s, there has been no major anti-monarchy movement, almost 10 years.

In 1985, the Nepalese government introduced the "Foreign Employment Law" to promote the migration of workers. After the end of the absolute monarchy and the recovery of multiparty democracy, in 1990 the government adopted a free economic policy to encourage young unemployed people to emigrate and remit. However, these records are not completely displayed. The government does not record returnees. Many people who left Nepal may have returned or have died abroad. In addition, many people, especially women, do not have their number through illegal routes, usually through Indian immigrants. Many seasonal immigrants visit India and return to planting and harvesting seasons. In 2010, the World Bank presumed that 867,000 Nepalians were in India, but this number may be much higher.
