Nepal at Crossroads: Gen Z Protests and the Future Looming in Chaos
“There are decades when nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen,” wrote Lenin—and Nepal feels like it is living in such a week. Nepal is currently at a crossroads. The PM has resigned from the office and has left his ailing wife behind; later, she was rescued by the protestors. The army chief has announced a curfew in the country and assumed control of the reins of power—at the time of writing. The situation raises some fundamental questions: Is Nepal back to square one?
Ashes of Her Dreams
Her eyes were beautiful, but not with joy. What glowed there was heavier — a quiet storm of sorrow and silence. Sachaan believed she was the luckiest of her family, chosen to study in the city, carrying her parents’ trust like a crown. But on the eve of her first exam, a single phone call shattered that dream: her family had promised her into marriage. In that moment, books and promises turned to ash, and the father who once called her his princess became a stranger.

Democratic Consolidation in Pakistan: A Distant Reality
Democracy promises freedom, justice, and equality — yet in Pakistan, these ideals remain distant. Despite regular elections and constitutional guarantees, questions persist: Are our polls truly free and fair? Do citizens enjoy genuine freedom of speech? Does justice serve all equally? Allegations of vote-rigging, dynastic politics, elite manipulation, and corruption scandals continue to weaken public trust. Instead of strengthening institutions, political interference and power struggles keep democracy hostage. Until transparency, accountability, and electoral fairness are ensured, democratic consolidation in Pakistan will remain more of a dream than a reality.
From Past to Present: The Progressive Movements in Pakistan
