Nepal PM KP Oli Resigns after Gen-Z Protests | Is South Asia stability at risk?

Nepal has been thrown into turmoil. The Prime Minister has resigned after days of violent youth-led protests that began with a social media ban but quickly spiraled into the country’s worst democratic crisis in decades. Streets are burning, parliament has been breached, and police have opened live fire on demonstrators. But this story is much bigger than Nepal. Across South Asia, from Sri Lanka to Bangladesh to Pakistan, youth anger has toppled governments, rewritten politics, and shaken entire systems of power. Is Nepal now the next epicenter of unrest? Could this crisis spill over and destabilize an already fragile region? And most importantly, will the cycle of the same old leaders, from Oli to Prachanda to Deuba, continue to haunt the country despite the demands of a restless generation? In this Grey Zone episode, Ananya Dutta breaks down the resignation, the rage, and what it means for South Asia’s future.
