Mr.Jalaluddin, democracy is any day better than monarchy. That is the reason for the uprising against the monarchy even in a small country like Nepal. The litmus test is not whether there was democracy for 10,000 years or for just 60 years. It is how matured the people (and by extension their leaders) are. Democracy is defnitely not a failed experiment in India, though it is so in Pakistan and Bengladesh. And we do not want Saudi style monarchy in our Country!!!!!
