What began as a peaceful protest against corrupt leaders in Nepal on September 8, 2025, quickly took a darker turn when the government opened fire on demonstrators, many of them students, minors, and members of Gen Z. These past two days have been not only an emotional rollercoaster but also a political one. The Nepalese government has now collapsed, brought down by the united strength of the youth who demanded change.
And now, for the first time in our history, Nepal has a female Prime Minister leading the interim government, which has announced that elections will take place this coming Falgun (March 2026).
But what’s next? Is this the end, or just the beginning?
This upcoming election is not just a formality, it’s history in the making. Generations to come will read about it in their books. Its importance is undeniable, and most of us are aware of that. For me, writing about it is more than expression; it’s an attempt to spread political awareness among voters.
Although this movement has been labeled the “GenZ Revolution,” the truth is that Millennials and Boomers still outnumber GenZ at the ballot box. That’s why it’s crucial to understand how influence works in today’s world , especially through social media algorithms. As ridiculous as it may sound, this is a real battlefield. Propaganda is rooted deeply, especially on platforms like Facebook, where echo chambers thrive and people are misled.
That’s why I am using every social media platform I have to speak up. From now on, my agenda is simple: to spread political awareness so that we do not hand over our country to the wrong leaders again.
For the first time, please forget about your “aesthetic” Instagram, your carefully curated posts, or the “mysterious” aura you want to maintain. Just once, speak. Speak for the country. Speak for the people. Speak for real democracy.
Advocate for truth. Advocate for honesty. Show your parents the reality, not just with words, but with evidence.
We are in this together.
