Gen-G storm at any time: India fears being torn apart

The Gen-G storm is not stopping in South Asia. After Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, now the stage is Nepal. In just two days, the country's governance has completely collapsed. Student protesters set fire to the residences of ministers and MPs, government buildings and even the parliament building. At least 19 students lost their lives in police firing. Faced with massive pressure, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned and left the country in a helicopter. The Finance Minister was beaten up by a mob and other ministers in the government cowered in panic.

The recent situation in Nepal seems to be an exact repeat of the July coup in Bangladesh last year or the protests in Sri Lanka two years ago. The movement that started from a very small issue has turned into a terrible storm in an instant. Experts believe that the next target of this storm may be India.

Top leaders of the Shiv Sena, an ally of India's ruling BJP, have already warned that if the Narendra Modi government does not wake up now, the same fate awaits India as Sheikh Hasina and KP Sharma Oli. They even expressed fears that India could be divided.

The uprising in Nepal began with the decision to ban 26 social media platforms. But this was just an excuse. The real reason lies deeper. Long-standing nepotism, administrative corruption and rising unemployment have ignited the anger of the youth.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said in this regard that the spark that has appeared in Nepal can also spread to India. However, the Indian government survives only because of Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent ideology. He warned that if corruption, nepotism and authoritarian rule continue, Indian youth may also rebel. Modi's government is still surviving on Gandhi's ideals, otherwise the situation in India would have been like Nepal.

According to analysts, the biggest task for India now is to focus on youth empowerment, administrative reforms and digital infrastructure development. It is not possible to stop the Gen-G storm with regulatory measures alone. The long-term solution will be to include young people as partners, focus on transparent administrative reforms, and economic equality.
