A Marxian Lens on a Generation’s Outrage

Nepal’s 2025 Gen-Z protests were more than political unrest, they reflected a generation’s deep frustration with economic, social, and political marginalization. Young Nepalis, educated yet unemployed, connected yet censored, and politically sidelined, took to the streets not just over government corruption or social media restrictions, but because they felt systematically excluded from the opportunities that shape their future. The eruption was spontaneous, but it revealed long-standing structural contradictions.

Revolutions are possible in our time. How can we make them permanent? How can we stop them from transforming into their opposite?

Piyush Chaudhary, an undergraduate researcher interested in governance, politics, and international relations, will lead off the discussion.
