An open letter to Gen Z protestors

Dear Gen Z,

Back in May 2011, many of us in Kathmandu, too, stood at Maitighar with a group of young people. We were inspired by the Arab Spring then and by a simple Facebook page that told us: Come o,n Youth, Stand Up. That call was enough for us to gather and believe that our voices mattered. We demanded a constitution on time. The media called it a “Facebook revolution.” Critics labelled it as elitist, superficial, and disconnected from the so-called “real people.” Still, we came out.
