Jana Andolan

Jana Andolan, meaning "People's Movement," was a significant mass protest in Nepal in 2006 that aimed to end the monarchy and establish a democratic republic. Citizens from various backgrounds united, demanding political change, civil rights, and the abolition of the king's absolute power. The movement involved widespread demonstrations, strikes, and civil disobedience, ultimately leading to the abolition of the monarchy and the declaration of Nepal as a federal democratic republic. Jana Andolan marked a pivotal shift towards greater democratic governance and increased political participation for the Nepali people.
