Nepal in crisis

Nepal is once again in the grip of civil unrest. Nearly 17 years after the abolition of the monarchy and transition to a democratic republic, the Himalayan nation is witnessing massive demonstrations demanding a return to the monarchy and its Hindu identity. However, some see Hindu nationalism as a separate issue, while others equate it directly with restoring the monarchy. Driven by disillusionment with the government, thousands of people have hit the streets in Kathmandu and other towns and clashed with the police, leading to the death of two protestors in police firing. While reinstatement of the monarchy is not a solution to multiple problems facing the country, it must be understood that the current unrest is clearly a backlash against political instability plaguing Kathmandu. In the last 17 years, the tiny Himalayan nation has seen 13 governments, each riddled with inefficiency and infighting. Promises of stability and progress post-monarchy have remained unfulfilled. This is not merely about nostalgia for a bygone era but a reflection of the deep-rooted frustration of ordinary Nepalis.
