====Revolution of 1951====
{{Main|Nepalese democracy movement}}
The [[revolution of 1951]] started when dissatisfaction against the family rule of the Ranas started emerging from among the few educated people, who had studied in various South Asian schools and colleges, and also from within the Ranas, many of whom were marginalized within the ruling Rana hierarchy. Many of these Nepalese in exile had actively taken part in the [[Indian independence movement|Indian Independence struggle]] and wanted to liberate Nepal as well from the autocratic Rana occupation. The political parties such as the [[Nepal Praja Parishad|Praja Parishad]] and [[Nepali Congress]] were already formed in exile by leaders such as [[B. P. Koirala]], [[Ganesh Man Singh]], [[Subarna Shamsher Rana|Subarna Sumsher Rana]], [[Krishna Prasad Bhattarai]], [[Girija Prasad Koirala]], and many other patriotic-minded Nepalis who urged the military and popular political movement in Nepal to overthrow the autocratic Rana regime. The Nepali Congress also formed a military wing [[Nepali Congress's Liberation Army]]. Among the prominent martyrs to die for the cause, executed at the hands of the Ranas, were [[Dharma Bhakta Mathema]], [[Shukraraj Shastri]], [[Gangalal Shrestha]], and [[Dashrath Chand|Dasharath Chand]] who were the members of the Praja Parisad. This turmoil culminated in [[Tribhuvan of Nepal|King Tribhuvan]], a direct descendant of Prithvi Narayan Shah, fleeing from his "palace prison" in 1950, to India, touching off [[1951 Nepalese revolution|an armed revolt]] against the Rana administration. This eventually ended in the return of the Shah family to power and the appointment of a non-Rana as prime minister following a tri-partite agreement signed called '[[Delhi Accord|Delhi Compromise]]'. A period of quasi-constitutional rule followed, during which the monarch, assisted by the leaders of fledgling political parties, governed the country. During the 1950s, efforts were made to frame a constitution for Nepal that would establish a representative form of government, based on a British model. A 10-member cabinet under Prime Minister [[Mohan Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana|Mohan Shumsher]] with 5 members of the Rana family and 5 of the Nepali Congress was formed. This government drafted a constitution called the 'Interim Government Act' which was the first constitution of Nepal. But this government failed to work in consensus as the Ranas and Congressmen were never on good terms. So, on 16 November 1951, the king formed a new government of 14 ministers under [[Matrika Prasad Koirala]], which was later dissolved.
