Abstract

The article focuses on the attack on Nepal's Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu amid ongoing anti-government protests led by the youth, known as the "Gen Z movement." The temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and significant Hindu shrine, has been closed to devotees as the Nepalese Army is deployed to prevent further damage and maintain order. The protests erupted following the government's controversial ban on 26 social media platforms, which protesters viewed as an infringement on free speech. In response to escalating violence, including attacks on government buildings and a nationwide curfew, the Nepal Army has taken control of law enforcement to restore order.
