The sentiment regarding the protests in Nepal demonstrates robust support for the youth fighting against governmental corruption, with commenters expressing admiration for their courage and a wish for change. Many highlight the importance of accountability and democratic governance while condemning misleading media narratives. However, concerns over violence and potential repercussions on governance also emerged, leading to a complex mixture of hope and skepticism.

Answer: A Nepali here. There seems to be a lot of false information. No the protest's main motive was not to uplift the ban on social media. It was a protest against corruption.  It wasn't led by any political or any sort of intrest and purely by "Gen Zs". The protest was always planned to be peaceful. However it seems like some protestors or "infiltrators" went to be very violent. They tried to enter the federal parliament. The police then got extremely violent. Students in uniform carrying school bags were shot in the head. Curfew was imposed however of no use. As of now 15 are confirmed dead who are mostly very young people. And 100+ are injured. The capital's hospital is running out of supplies at this point and things aren't looking very good. We are demanding the resignation of the PM and government.

Answer: I'm not in Nepal, but according to [this post,](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatdoIdo/comments/1nbp46e/my_government_is_shooting_students_and_the/) the protests are about widespread corruption. The government shut down social media sites, presumably to thwart the organization of more protests, but that didn't work. The latest protests got very violent and at least 19 people have been confirmed killed by police. 

The government is trying to characterize the protests as being by "Gen Z" and about the social media ban, but it's actually by a wide swathe of the population and about corruption. The social media component is just a reaction to the government's reaction. 

It looks like many of the international media outlets are [accepting the Nepali government's framing](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78nd2zy9jgo) of the issue, at least in their headlines.

Answer:
Children of politicians and bureaucrats started becoming viral with their extravagant luxury lifestyle way out of their or their parents legal means (income). In response, government banned most social media. 

Also recently politicians have been shameless with their policies like politicians / parliamentarians deciding their own salaries, 5 star meals at the representative house, and open cases against politicians that are closed automatically after a limited period of time (forgot how much) 


So a massive online campaign started against corruption which after social media ban spilled onto the streets mostly by young people or "Gen Z". 


14 people have been brutally shot down by police which also included minors in school/college dresses. And 400 more injured so far. Highest one day kill in the history of Nepal during protests. Even the kings were not that brutal. 


Opinion: The protest was probably infiltrated by ruling party supporters. Because the original plan was not to bring down office of representative. But even then it was the property being attacked not people, so there was no reason to use real bullets.

SeparateRise7783

Answer: At the end of August, public dissatisfaction grew after the government of Nepal suddenly announced a ban on 26 social media apps, including major platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. The government required these apps to register under its rules, which included provisions such as removing posts critical of the government, granting government authorities access to user information, and taking punitive actions against individuals. The public viewed these measures as a violation of freedom of speech and the right to privacy, and strongly opposed such censorship.

This reaction was further fueled by Nepal’s history of corrupt leaders and rampant misuse of power. Around the same time, a social media trend gained momentum in which citizens openly shamed corrupt politicians and their families for their lavish lifestyles. Nepalis widely participated in this online movement, and frustrations continued to build.

These events culminated in nationwide protests on September 8th, 2025. While the ban on social media was the initial trigger, the larger cause became a stand against corruption.

**September 8:** A peaceful, Gen Z–led anti-corruption protest was organized across all major cities of Nepal. However, the situation turned violent in the country's capital Kathmandu, when police attempted crowd control with tear gas, water cannons, and even live ammunition. Several uniformed students as well as other protestors were shot in the head, and the death toll has reached over 19, with hundreds more injured. One of the darkest moments came when police forces used guns at a civil hospital treating the wounded protestors. Later that night, security forces patrolled the streets, harassing civilians, and videos surfaced showing police shooting people in their own homes. Other areas of the country also faced similar violent crowd control efforts and the use of live ammunition and force to shut down protestors.

**September 9:** Public outrage reached its peak following the killing of innocent students and protesters. Demonstrators stormed the parliament building in Kathmandu and set fire to it and private properties belonging to ministers were also burned. The prime minister has since resigned and fled, while some ministers were caught at their residences and assaulted by the public. Protests continue, with demonstrators burning down the private residences and business establishments of corrupt leaders.

While many citizens feel they have won a major battle, efforts are now underway to form an interim government and restore calm. There are also rumors that Maoist supporters may have deliberately escalated the violence to create conditions for martial law. As a result, groups of people are urging the general public to avoid further chaos, reminding them that the government has already collapsed and they need to preserve their public properties for future use. This protest was not led or organised by any political party or group. The dissatisfied public took to the streets because of the lack of oppurtunities and facilities in the country and the rampant corruption that prevailed in the government.

September 10: Nepal is in chaos now. Shops are being looted, many prisoners are escaping right in front of the eyes of the public, the parliament which has all the data on Nepal continues to burn. Most big buildings owned by telecom companies, hotels and spa, shopping complexes have been destroyed and looted. While some responsible citizens have been trying to stop these arsonists from destroying further properties, many people are now scared due to these violent acts. Utter utter chaos everywhere, airports are also being vandalised and even other very important offices being burned and destroyed. No sights of fire brigades or any effort of saving the buildings are seen. Police have no power, the army is doing whatever little they can. But some people have stolen police uniforms and probably weapons too, so its very unsafe for everyone. All in all, the wrong people are taking advantage of the opportunity and lawlessness and doing whatever they please.

Answer: I've been seeing reels like [this](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOSPPwrj6od/?igsh=MXR3Z3FkM2xtNHJ2ZA==) a lot over the last week and thought it was really interesting. Their politicians have salaries in peanuts, The Prime Minister of Nepal takes home a salary of 9K USD little over 750 USD a month. That is the prime minister, the family members and even cousins and friends of politicians in Nepal are seen living lives of filthy luxuries while the people die of disasters, mismanagement and poverty. There are no jobs or businesses that show this level of income in Nepal. 

They started asking on social media how these mfers can't afford watches and handbags that cost more than their annual salaries so casually. How they can flaunt international trips so shamelessly. They started picking out people, comparing their houses, watches, shoes, purses and cars to their salaries. The prime minister earns 9K USD a year, how do entire families of these people have a 1K USD phone. Did they save a whole year's salary to buy 10 iphones? 

Nepali Government was trying to get these videos removed like other governments do, US does, India does, UK does. Any video on social media sites they don't like they have it removed and banned in their country. Nepal is too little for these sites to care, so they brought in new laws that these sites have to remove any video the government tells them to or face ban. That is the ban people are vehemently against, as they should be.

That led to protests, protests turned violent, police opened gunfire. 15 dead 100 injured. Now people demanding the current government as a whole to step down and be tried for their corruption.

Seahorse_Delhi

answer: There is an ongoing protest by Gen Zs against corruption, inequality, and authoritarian governance.

So far 2 people have been killed from ubber bullets fired from the police and ~80 injured. This will likely get escalated tomorrow.

Edit: Removed my earlier response which emphasized on social media ban.

Just watched this a little while earlier. The footage was actually so surreal. It had the full order of events, from the street protest down to the burning parliament. It's actually funny how this guy straight up accidentally documented history on a tourist trip

Potato_the_second_

Incredible footage, but he seriously needs to catch the next flight out. Being caught in the middle of a chaotic protest in a foreign country is extremely dangerous, especially for a tourist. He could be mistaken for a participant, arrested, or worse. In some places, that could mean torture or even death. He’s playing with fire by staying any longer.

Can you provide a TLDR on the whole situation from someone on the inside for someone completely out if the loop? Or just vomit all the information out and worry about TLDR later

John Locke wrote in his “Two treaties of Government” that when a government breaks its social trust with the people, acts against the interest of the people and threatens their safety without justifiable cause, the people have a moral right to overthrow that government, be that through force, and install a new one that better serves their interests, the so called “right to revolution”. 

My country, Romania, experienced a revolution with the fall of communism in the early 90’s, along with many other now ex-communist states of Eastern Europe, a revolution that began similarly to your own, with students protesting, and the military opening fire on them. After a brutal fight and many lives lost, we captured our dictators, Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife, put them through a half hour show trial after which they were executed.  Ours was the only violent revolution of the ex communist block of Europe. What I would like to see happen to Nepal is not what happened to our dictators, if possible, the people that caused your people’s suffering should be captured and judged so that they could be punished accordingly. Violent revolution is not always necessary, and innocent people may be caught in the crossfire. 

It is a long battle, my country still struggles with corruption to this day, many of the ex communist elite continued ruling the country even after the revolution, many of them were elected by us.

Stay strong and hopeful, be careful and wary of the new people who wish to gain power now, this is a very important period for your country, change for the better may be costly. I wish you well.

Ftn1993

is there a chance that Nepal may slip into a dictatorship because of the current lack of leadership? Or maybe something like a coup from the army (like Pakistan)? Or maybe a puppet government controlled by a superpower (kinda like Bangladesh under yunus)?         

if any of these happen, what will be your expectations from the public? and what is your subjective opinion of the power dynamics and the future leadership of Nepal? (i am thinking that the puppet government thing is possible because the leader expected to be the next PM of nepal is in contact with the US)

Before this happened, I was thinking about traveling to Nepal in late September and staying for around a month, as a digital nomad. Do you advise against this? I still haven't read much about the situation so I haven't made up my mind, and I don't know if it looks like there could be real, dangerous instability (I mean widespread violence, a coup d'etat, stuff like that).

What is mass media like there? Is it controlled by the former government, or independent?

Is anyone worried that China will use this chance to strengthen its grip on Nepal? They see Nepal as part of their country and are currently trying to force their pick for the next Dalai Lama next door in Tibet to bring them under Chinese rule too.

This is a great opportunity for China to expand it's control in the area.

Grand-Glove-9985

There’s a book called Persepolis, it tells the story of how the author experienced the Iranian revolution when she was a child. There’s a part of the book that explains how after the shah (the king) was overthrown, even though students, liberals and left leaning intellectuals were among the most outspoken and influential people of the revolution, it was the Islamic church that outmaneuvered them, took advantage of the vacuum of power left, rigged the elections, and turn Iran into what it is today. So the books it’s a cautionary tail of how revolutions are the perfect opportunity for fanatics and corrupts to seize power. 
Do you fear something like that might happen? Is there any kind of organization or group that might take advantage of this whole situation and seize power once the chaos is over?

How did September 8 come about as the exact tipping point? Who organised or called for a protest on that day? This seems to have escalated really quick after that, but how did that happen in the first place?

Is it true that the protests are orchestrated by the Chinese and that they are planning of taking over Nepal through their puppets?

So after this overthrow , what ever is going to come to power is not going to do anything much.  Just like Bangladesh.. do you realize this ? Whose hand is behind this US , China or India or Pakistan?

Fine-Weekend8405

Didn't people keep voting in these officials that were corrupt?


Why did they keep getting elected?

JohnHazardWandering

Wasn’t the ban because Nepal govt wanted social media companies to register. And those that didn’t comply were banned. If I am not wrong Tik tok is still available because they registered?

Certain_Outside_9391

What was the cause of burning? I hope you don't fall into the smiley face of the military. 

I hope you people are being really careful with them. 

In Indonesia, they have been posing as the nice guy, being the middleman between people and the police and calming people during the day
 but they're playing both sides. 

Intel from the military provoked people to burn things and create chaos or making the protest look bad. They operate at night after the real protestors went home, took off their uniforms and burning shit or provoking the remaining people to run amok.

They tried to impose martial law to gain control. Fortunately, that doesn't happen. 

Just be careful for them, they're usually equally disgusting. But hopefully your military people is better tho. 

I am hoping for the best outcome for you 
 kind people of Nepal.

Can you provide a TLDR on the whole situation from someone on the inside for someone completely out if the loop? Or just vomit all the information out and worry about TLDR later|Our country has been struggling for a long time.  We once had a monarchy, but in 2001 the royal family was massacred. Power was then taken by the king’s cousin, who was later overthrown in 2008. Around that time, the Maoists, who had been waging a civil war, gained support during the 2006/07 people’s movement. Many believed that bringing them into power would create a new Nepal with real development.  But after democracy was established in 2008, ordinary people slowly began to feel betrayed and neglected. Between 2008 and 2025, we’ve seen more than 10 governments rise and fall, yet it’s always the same 3–4 ministers rotating in power. Meanwhile, there was little to no progress in people’s lives.  From 2022 onward, protests began demanding, “Where is the development?” In 2024/25, the former king re-emerged, asking for support to rebuild the nation. Pro-monarchy protests happened, but mostly with older people (30+) and a few young faces. After some protesters were killed and organizers jailed, those movements faded.  The government learned from that episode: propaganda spread through TikTok and Facebook. So, they drafted laws to force compliance from tech companies or face bans. TikTok was banned first, then later complied.  In 2025, things escalated again. A viral trend exposed “nepo babies” children of ministers flaunting wealth on Instagram: Gucci clothes, luxury cars, and weekly foreign trips. For ordinary Nepalese struggling with poverty and stagnation, this was unbearable.  By September, the government banned social media entirely. But by then, plans for a Gen Z-led protest were already underway.  September 8 was supposed to be different. It was meant to be a peaceful turning point, the moment when the youngest generation of Nepal, school kids and college students, finally stood up and asked for accountability. Parents sent their children out with hope, believing that maybe this march for justice would force the government to listen and bring change for the common people. Students as young as 8, wearing their school uniforms, joined the protest peacefully.  Instead, the government responded by deliberately killing students. That shattered whatever faith remained.  On September 9, fury erupted. Protestors stormed parliament, killed the officials responsible for the shootings, burned ex-PMs’ homes, beat and chased down ministers, and destroyed the colonies where corrupt elites lived. It turned into a full-scale overthrow of the government.   TL;DR:  Nepal shifted from monarchy to democracy, but ordinary people felt betrayed and neglected due to no development.  10+ govts since 2008, same ministers recycling power.  Protests from 2022 onwards grew, monarchy talk revived but suppressed.  Viral trends exposed corrupt ministers’ kids flaunting luxury lives on Instagram.  Sept 8: Peaceful protest led entirely by students (ages 8–20). Parents hoped their kids’ march would bring justice. Govt killed them.  Sept 9: Anger exploded parliament burned, corrupt leaders attacked, regime overthrown.

I wish you well.|Thank you for sharing your story it really helps put things in perspective. Yes, we are fully aware that unwanted or opportunistic people could try to take advantage of this situation and position themselves as leaders. Some of them are already trying, but we are watching closely and will not let them succeed. This is a critical moment for our country, and we want real change for the people, not for a few individuals seeking power.|[Here](/r/AMA/comments/1ncqh80/im_from_nepal_my_country_is_currently/ndb6v45/)
How did it spread throughout the country? I am Hungarian we desperatly need regime change, but many people are too aphatetic :( How do we change the attitude of the country side?|The main reason the protests spread across the country was because the younger generation was so fed up. Even before September 8, we agreed that this shouldn’t just be a Kathmandu protest  it needed to happen in all cities so that everyone could wake up and make their voices heard. Social media, online communities, and word of mouth helped coordinate the protests nationwide, turning individual frustration into a collective movement.  For more context, I’ve summarized the situation here: \[Summary Comment\](https://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/s/KfjBUb0Gic)|[Here](/r/AMA/comments/1ncqh80/im_from_nepal_my_country_is_currently/ndb71eg/)
why would they ban Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp?  just for control of what content people are sharing?|The bill basically gave the government the power to delete or block anything they didn’t like especially anti-government posts.

How do you feel about some of the protesters using the one piece flag like the protesters in Indonesia?|I don’t really have much to say about it directly, but honestly it’s probably a good thing. In moments like this, symbolism matters it gives people something to unite around.

Are there any current front runners for the succession, or is it too soon to tell?|People do have hopes in a few individuals and leaders, but it’s still too soon to tell.

Do you think things will change for the better?

Also how the youth ever could pull such a move to overthrow a regime? Is Nepali regime actually so fucking weak and incompetent or your spirit is strong? Are the fighters armed?

I wish good luck for you and your country either way, as an Iranian, my country need a regime change too, because it's rotten and evil to the core.

I'm from Sri Lanka so we went through something roughly similar though I believe the situation in Nepal is a lot more extreme. How are you feeling about stability in the country moving forward? With regards to who will take over the government next? Is there hope of a better future ahead among nepalis? Hope you are all keeping well - if there's anything the protests here in Sri Lanka and in Nepal have shown, it's that unfortunately, until a corrupt government is faced with violence they will never change; while I don't condone violence, it really seems to be the only way to bring real change. Stay strong and hope for a brighter future ahead for Nepal!!!

Do people want Monarchy back? Was it better during that time?

We had a similar scenario in 2012-13, however non-violent in India.

Anna Hazare brought people together to fight the government and corruption. I believe lot of them had good intentions.

Later it turned out the government which replaced previous one is even more corrupt and also violent.

Anna Hazare's "revolution" turned out to be clear ploy, because he has literally never spoken up against current government.

The politicians who were accused of corruption in 2012-13 were all released later, the successive government which promised corruption free India did nothing.

It matters a lot who you choose post revolution. All the best to you guys. Hope things get better.

How exactly does physical action like this start and how did you people get access to the corrupt politicians? I've seen the videos of the finance minister being dragged through the street but I'm wondering how he even got there in the first place. In my country such people would be guarded and anyone touching them would be shot. Did the military side with the protesters?

The gen z should demand reform 


Anti-Corruption Measures:
​Establish an independent and empowered anti-corruption commission with the authority to investigate and prosecute corrupt officials, regardless of their political affiliation.  
​Introduce legislation to increase transparency in government spending and public contracts.
​Mandate asset declarations for all elected officials and their immediate family members, with strict penalties for false reporting.
​Repeal any laws that grant immunity to politicians for corruption-related offenses.
​Economic Reform and Youth Empowerment:
​Develop and implement a national strategy to create jobs and economic opportunities for young people, focusing on high-growth sectors.
​Provide incentives for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to help stimulate the domestic economy.
​Reform the education system to better align with the needs of the job market.
​Address the "brain drain" by offering compelling reasons for skilled young people to stay in Nepal.
​Protecting Civil Liberties:
​Immediately lift any and all bans on social media platforms and other forms of digital communication.
​Commit to repealing any laws or proposed legislation that would restrict freedom of expression or online dissent.
​Enact legislation that protects the rights of journalists and activists.
​Political System Reform:
​Push for constitutional reforms to increase political stability and accountability. This could include proposals for a directly elected prime minister, a reduced term for parliament, or term limits for prime ministers.

History had taught us that most of the new leaders after a revolt are sometimes much worse than the deposed. CHOOSE YOUR NEW LEADERS WISELY. Choose leaders that are for full accountability and transparency.

Do you know what is happening in Serbia and your opinion about that?

Revolutions rarely end well for the people, Iran and Cuba are prime examples. The government coming to power will make sure this does not happen again.

Thanks for your insight. But what will the dawn bring?

Power is a huge temptation for many. Just hope Nepalese get a good outcome... 🙏🙏

I don't have a question as such, but I'm really impressed by the quality of your answers. 

I wish you the best, stay safe 🙏🏻

All nepalese people should be extremely proud of their youth.

Yeah yeah, They're young and dumb, They may not have experience in the ways of the world. But they have passion and love for their country that hasn't yet been beaten down.

They are using technology to learn and communicate about corruption and greed within their country, And they collectively decided to do something about it.

We will see lots of disinformation and misinformation about Nepal (If any news whatsoever) because this kind of movement really TERRIFIES the establishment.

Long Live the Revolution!

Now comes the hard part!
