History of National Democracy Day in Nepal

Before achieving its independence on the latter part of the 18th century, Nepal was diverse and divided into different independents states under different leaders and was then ruled by Bahadur San.
However, the opportunistic Ranas saw this condition of Nepal as an opening to enter the Palace and place the government in their hands. Janga Bahadur Rana even became Prime Minister on 1947. During this administration, a lot of massacres and abusive acts were committed by the Ranas, shamming the whole Palace and the whole of Nepal.
The People of Nepal experienced a life full of nightmares while under the ruling power of the Ranas. The royal family has taken away a lot of opportunities to the people of the nation while the members of their family were enjoying the extravagance and abundance that they had from the highest office. Anomalies such as corruption, discrimination and violent behaviors have ruled the country during this period of Nepali history.
In the efforts of the people to free themselves from this kind of government, a lot of courageous souls have established groups to expel the Rana government and bring back the equality and fair treatment in the whole country. It is in this crucial time that the four martyrs of Nepal were made known which inspired the citizens even more to continue what they were fighting for. The power of the people continued to become stronger and intact. And after 104 years of struggle, Nepal finally triumphed over the Ranas on 1951.
Since then, the Nepalese yearly commemorates the 19th of February as Democracy Day to reminisce all the people’s efforts that brought back good governance in the whole country.
