Most humanities research — including the best, most world leading research by people we’ve all heard of — is unfunded, by which they mean produced as part of one’s routine job as a university lecturer, just “not funded by a big competitive external grant”. This would mean the death of research.

'Nothing that comes next will be easy...'

Free lands, critical education & health services for low working classes (caste & gender) should be some of the fundamentals that should shape Nepal's new futures...

There is a political vacuum right now and there’s no saying who’ll take up that space. Hopes were running high similarly when the monarchy fell in 2006, but subsequent opportunity was squandered with weak leadership that was interested only in power grab and lining their pockets.

At the heart of this protest and regime change was blatant corruption, lack of accountability and limited opportunities for the Nepali youth, all the while politicians and their kids flaunted their wealth. Viral reels with hashtag NepoBabies were trending for days prior to the protest.

However, the simmering anger has taken a dangerous turn with rampant vandalism of government offices across the country accompanied by looting and arson. GenZ protestors are requesting the rioters to stop the destruction of public properties and are distancing themselves from the latest violence.

Important to note here that the initial protest on Monday was completely organic, and led by GenZ! Peaceful protests turned tragic for those who lost their lives but the youth finally got what they wanted, fall of the corrupt politicians and a chance for new beginnings.

Things escalated at lightning speed when kids were killed by the police. Despite curfews & deaths, youth stormed the streets again on Tuesday in large numbers, bringing down the entire government, forcing the Prime Minister to resign. Vandalism continued through the day & army has now taken control.

While social media ban was the trigger for nationwide protests with students in uniforms hitting the streets, it was indiscriminate firing of live ammunition against literal kids by the police that led to the entire nation erupting in fury. 22 youth, including school going children were killed.

The last 48 hours have been surreal here in Kathmandu! Nepal’s youth recently started a viral online campaign exposing and targeting corrupt politicians & their children’s lavish lifestyles while the rest were struggling! Rattled, they tried banning social media altogether and all hell broke loose!

WATCH: VIdeo shows remains of Parliament Building in Kathmandu, Nepal after protesters set it on fire.

NEW: Tonight, this is all that remains of Nepal's seat of government in Kathmandu. Singha Durbar was the largest palace in Asia; home to the Prime Minister & government offices. A 48-hour revolution, led by Gen Z protestors, has toppled the government & left large parts of the capital in flames.

Protesters in Nepal have set fire to the parliament building in the country's capital Kathmandu amid deadly anti-corruption protests.

"Today #Nepal woke up to deep uncertainty. The feeling is the government had to answer for the 19 dead, that Oli and the old guard had to go," writes Himal EIC @romangtm.bsky.social about the #GenZprotests

"For many young #Nepalis, this was their first large-scale protest. They will never forget that the very first protest they led was met with a hail of bullets," writes Pranaya Rana

Nepal PM resigns but deadly anti-corruption protests rage on. At least 20 people have died in the Gen-Z led demonstrations, which were fuelled by alleged corruption, 'nepo kids' and a social media ban which has now been lifted. Read and watch: www.channel4.com/news/nepal-p...
