First, the research paper will focus on the internal and external factors behind the collapse of Nepalese democracy. In this study, the researcher examined the role of political parties and the monarchy's demise of democracy in Nepal. Second, the interference and meddling of India, China, and America in the politics of Nepal.

As a result of factionalisation and other related problems, a Proportional Representation (PR) voting system was introduced. The results of this study, changes in the conditions of the political structure in Nepal are necessary for democracy to remain stable. This study also examines Nepal's position towards international actors such as China, the United States and India's sphere of influence on the geopolitical.
