Mistake made by late King Mahendra

Born on 11 June 1920 to King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev, King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev ruled Nepal since 1955 to 1972. During the time he was born, the governance of the country was in control of the Rana Prime Ministers and the King was captive in his palace along with his family. They were powerless and it was only during the 1950s that the King, along with his people overthrew the century old Rana reign and established democracy in the country. So, by the time King Mahendra came to power, Nepal was a democratic country.He ascended the throne in the year 1956 after the death of his father. Although he was made the king of the democratic country, on 15 December 1960, he suspended the constitution, dissolved parliament, dismissed the cabinet and imposed direct rule imprisoning the then Prime Minister Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala and his closest government colleagues. He established the Panchyat hierarchical system of village, district and nati. - See more at: http://www.tajavdo.com/videos/king-mahendra-bir-bikram-shah-dev/#sthash.etrAgEX6.dpuf
