Complete answer:
Struggle of the Nepali: Nepal witnessed an extraordinary popular movement in April 2006. The movement aims to restore democracy in Nepal. After the death of King Brenda in 2001, the new King Gyanendra was not prepared to accept democratic rule. As a result, in February 2005, Wang dismissed the then prime minister and dissolved the elected parliament.

 The 2006 movement aimed to restore the king's general control of the government. All the major political parties in the parliament (Nepal's Seven-Party Alliance) demanded a 4-day strike. The protest quickly turned into an indefinite strike. Many other organizations united and people fought the curfew and took to the streets. Even the security forces cannot control them.

 Almost every day, more than 100,000 people gather to demand the restoration of democracy. They insisted on the restoration of the Parliament, the establishment of a party government and the power of a new Constituent Assembly. On the last day of this protest movement, the king was forced to accept all the demands of the movement.
As a result, the SPA chose Gray Prasad Koirala as prime minister, and the restored parliament passed the law, taking away most of the king's power. This sport is known as Nepal’s second struggle for democracy. This struggle of the Nepalese people is a source of inspiration for democrats all over the world.

Note:
 Nepal won democracy in 1990, although the king is still the head of state. The real power is exercised by elected representatives. King Brinda accepted the transition from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. On the last day of this protest movement, the king was forced to meet all the demands of the people.
