Nepal में जो हालिया घटनाएं हो रही हैं, उनका असली कारण सोशल मीडिया बैन नहीं बल्कि सरकार में बढ़ती भ्रष्टाचार, नेताओं के परिवारों की चकाचौंध और ‘nepo kids’ के खिलाफ युवा वर्ग का रोष है[1][2][3]। 4 सितम्बर को सरकार ने 26 सोशल मीडिया प्लेटफॉर्म्स – Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, आदि – बैन करने का फैसला लिया[1][4]। इस फैसले के खिलाफ हजारों युवाओं, खासकर Gen Z, ने राजधानी Kathmandu में संसद के पास विशाल प्रदर्शन शुरू कर दिए[5][6][7]।
इन प्रदर्शनों की वजह थी नेताओं के बच्चों और रिश्तेदारों का खुलेआम ऐशो-आराम का प्रदर्शन और नौजवानों के भविष्य की अनिश्चितता[8][2][9]। TikTok और Reddit जैसी प्लेटफॉर्म्स पर , ट्रेंड कर रहे थे[2][10][3]। जब पुलिस ने प्रदर्शनकारियों पर गोली और आंसू गैस चलाई, तो 19 से ज़्यादा लोगों की मौत हो गई और सैकड़ों घायल हुए[11][12][13][14][15]। ग़ुस्से में आकर प्रदर्शनकारियों ने कई नेताओं के घरों में भी आग लगा दी[16][17]।
अंततः सरकार को सोशल मीडिया बैन हटाना पड़ा, लेकिन युवाओं का आंदोलन भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ और व्यवस्था में बदलाव की मांग पर जारी है[15][14][18]। आंदोलन का नेतृत्व किसी नेता के पास नहीं, बल्कि आम युवाओं के पास है – और इनकी आवाज़ अब पूरे दक्षिण एशिया में गूंज रही है[6][10][7]।

यह कहानी Nepal के युवा जागरण और व्यवस्था-परिवर्तन की चेतावनी है[6][7][9]।
