Part 3/12:
Nepal's youth, many of whom are educated and young professionals, expressed their grievances not through party politics but by demanding systemic change. Families mourn their fallen loved ones, like 22-year-old Rosi Kadiada, whose death was streamed live, illustrating the brutal cost of youth activism. As Nepalese youths organize to rebuild what was damaged—police stations, infrastructure—they show their determination not to be left behind in the country’s development.
Across Asia, similar stories unfold: in the Philippines, students and workers protest corruption and inequality; in Indonesia, youth criticise the government’s plans to benefit elites; and in Timor-Leste, thousands mobilized days of demonstration, forcing political reversals.
