By : Sangeeta Thapliyal
Page No: 140-152
Abstract
The recent political developments in Nepal have been unprecedented in the country’s history. Young Nepalis, popularly known as Generation Z or Gen Z, brought the country to a standstill through their intense street protests against corruption. They not only brought down the K.P. Oli government but also chose the former Chief Justice of the country, Sushila Karki, to the position of Prime Minister. This essay attempts to examine the how and why of the protest.
