    Give a brief description of mobilisation and organisations keeping in view their activities in Nepal and Bolivia?

    Answer:

    The movement in Nepal was to establish democracy and the struggle in Bolivia was about one specific policy and claims on a elected democratic government.
    Popular struggle in Nepal in the forms of mobilisation and organisations: In Nepal the struggle started as the protest movement by SPA which soon turned into an indefinite strike in which Maxist insurgents and various other organisations joined hands.
    The struggle involved many organisations other than Political parties. All the major labour unions and their federations joined this movement. Many other organisations like the organisations of the indigenous people, teachers, lawyers, and human rights groups extended support to the movements.
    Struggle in Bolivia: The protest against water privatisation in Bolivia was not led by any political party. It was led by an organisation FEDECOR. This organisation comprised local professionals, including environmentalists.
    They are supported by a federation of farmers. Confederation of factory workers unions, middle class students from the university and the city's growing population of homeless street children. The movement was supported by the "Socialist party as well."
    Outcome of popular struggle under organisation and mobilisation:
    From both these examples we can see that in democracy several different kinds of organisation work behind any big struggle.
