Скачать или смотреть Since 2015, anything that happened in Nepal seems to have an Indian connection: R.K. Radhakrishnan

As young people across Nepal protested against a government ban on social media—a platform that had become central to their communication and activism—the demonstrations expanded to broader grievances over corruption, nepotism, and economic stagnation. Security forces opened fire during the unrest, leaving 19 people dead. In Kathmandu, parliament was stormed, ministerial residences set on fire, and the streets filled with demands for accountability. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on September 9 amid the escalating crisis, but the mobilisation—described as the Gen-Z movement—continues. Nirupama Subramanian, R.K. Radhakrishnan, and Akhilesh Upadhyay discuss what this moment could mean for Nepal’s political future.
