Nepal Gen Z Protests: Ex-Princesses Face Backlash

Young people in Nepal are upset about how the country is run, especially concerning corruption and inequality.

They are using social media to protest.

The recent government's social media ban fueled the situation.

Kritika and Purnika Shah, former princesses, are being called 'nepo babies' because of their privileged lives.

This has sparked outrage and is seen as a symbol of what protesters want to change.

They feel the ruling class is out of touch with ordinary citizens.

The protests show how social media can quickly create outrage.
