Jeevan Sharma, a professor and expert on Nepal's political transition, and Ashish Pradhan, a senior advisor specializing in Nepal's demographics, dive into the fiery uprising led by Gen Z in Nepal. They discuss how a protest against a social media ban erupted into a nationwide movement against corruption. TikTok memes fueled the mobilization, while the youth demand accountability and reform. The conversation also touches on Nepal's political instability and draws parallels with similar civic movements across the globe, from Sri Lanka to France.
