Ep: 499 | Santosh Dhakal on Gen Z Protest, Nepal Army, Security Threats & Global Conflicts

In this in-depth conversation, we sit down with Santosh Kumar Dhakal, a Military General, to break down the realities behind the Gen Z Protest in Nepal, the allegations against the army, and the rising regional tensions. He explains how the meeting unfolded, including the global parallels with the Gen Z movement, the revolutions in Iran, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, and offers clarity on the role of the Nepal Army during mass protests. We also discuss accusations that the army failed to protect key buildings, whether the army can act without orders, and how Nepal’s national security and defense system actually operates. The conversation expands to highlight the precipitating and underlying causes and the likely influence of varied actors beyond the objectives of the Gen Zs. It highlights the importance of geopolitics and the security concerns of our neighbors, having symbiotic relations with Nepal’s own security. He also talked about China and India’s security concerns vis-à-vis Nepal’s security concerns.
