Decoding Nepal's GenZ protests

In this episode of Tipping Point, host Sajjad Hassan speaks with Nepali youth activist Amit Urja about the mass youth-led protests that shook Nepal in 2025 and sparked a national conversation about democracy, corruption, and political change.

What began as growing frustration among young people over unemployment, governance failures, and political stagnation evolved into one of the most significant protest movements in recent Nepalese history. Amit takes us behind the scenes of the movement, explaining how young activists organized, mobilized supporters, and navigated the challenges of sustaining a nationwide campaign for change.
