What is happening in Nepal now? I fear for our country.
It happened in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka before.
Protest by People is called anarchy? Since when?

Problems happened in Indonesia too. Looks like economic difficulties are pushing people, not other issues. And business-politico nexus might be trying to divert attention. https://archive.is/FJUeC
You will feel less anxious if you learn to ignore that TV channel and person.
Indian media is pathetic as usual, labeling it as GenZ protest etc to undermine the cause.
The PM of Nepal has resigned as of now.

Why are you sharing Arnab videos and RW propaganda here?
Exactly.
The actual issue is very different.

What is Actually Happening in Nepal ?? Misinformation by Indian Media.
Media Matters
Hello to my fellow neighbors in India. I am a Nepali citizen living near the border, connected to both our countries not only geographically but also culturally. That is why I feel it is my duty to share the truth with you about what is really happening here.You may have seen headlines claiming that Nepal is facing “mass protests led by Gen Z against social media ban.” That is only a half-truth.
Here is the real sequence of events:
Three days ago, the Nepal government suddenly banned 26 social media platforms including Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit.
They claimed it was about registration and taxes. But these companies are already registered and paying taxes. The real motive is censorship: giving the government power to control online information, delete posts critical of them within 24 hours, and jail those who speak up.
In the next two days, criticism exploded across the country. A date was set—September 8—for nationwide protests. But it was never just about social media. That ban was only the spark.
Our patience had already run out.
Soon, the “Nepo Babies” trend erupted in Nepal. It exposed the lavish lifestyles of politicians’ children—designer (clothes,bags, watches, attire )worth lakhs, luxury cars, million-rupee homes, weekly international flights, and even private jets—while ordinary Nepalis struggle daily for survival. Our PM has a salary less than 65k INR but what is owns is in million of $$$.
This hit a nerve. Because Nepal has been under one form of tyranny or another for decades. From monarchy to so-called democracy, corruption and instability have never left us. Not a single prime minister has completed a full term in over 20 years.
[The protests were organized in the name of Gen Z, but they welcomed everyone. We were not just protesting a social media ban. We were standing against corruption, nepotism, tyranny, suppression, and decades of betrayal. In a country of just 30 million people, every single day around 5,000 youths leave to work abroad because there are no jobs, no decent pay, and no basic livelihood at home.]
And then the tragedy struck. Today, during the protest, I witnessed & carried something I will never forget. A 15-year-old schoolboy, still in uniform, was shot in the head by security forces—acting on orders from a minister. He was not the only one. Reports say more than 20 people have been killed, thousands injured, and the true numbers are being hidden.
I came home with blood still on my hands, only to see Indian news channels spinning a completely false narrative. They claimed it was all about social media and mocked our youths as being “addicted” to it. That angered me, but it didn’t surprise me. I know how the media can twist things.
That is why I am writing this here, to let you know the truth from the ground.

I don’t know who Arnab supports and what is meant by RW?
I mainly see english news or Telugu news.
Lot of info at: https://archive.is/UVBDi
because it never worked the way it should.
yes corruption is the main reason. nepali people are very sweet like the north east. it is really sad to see they were shot for raising their voice for all the wrong their leaders were doing.

When it comes to current events you’re better off watching Tarak Mehta than Arnab, he’ll only scream for an hour and give you a headache.
indian news channels are trp hungry. shouting shouting and shouting on each other. same for aajtak and others, you can get better information with FirstPost.
I would still be wary of FirstPost, apparently it had an anti-china bias since covid but since last week Palki can be seen visiting China and promoting china-india ties.
Fun fact- Palki Sharma (Right leaning) is the wife of Sanket Upadhyay (Left leaning) who runs The Red Mike yt channel. Both audiences catered from a single household. LOL.
EDIT- it seems they have separated now, I would not assume the political ideologies were an issue

it is better but not the best. no media can be trusted. even the Palki. it is funny how one left and one right live together and get the benefits from both side.
Arnab Goswami is a fear mongering pathetic piece of shit who would sell his mother if it meant getting paid money. He is a BJP mouthpiece who spews hatred and divisive content on his channel.

I think she is no longer with him. They separated I believe.
She used to have her name displayed when reporting as Palki Sharma Upadhyay earlier but now only Sharma.
Again not fully sure about separation.
