Challenges of ideological quests

Communist parties in Nepal appear to be grappling with a certain sense of angst.

Nepal has been preoccupied in recent days, especially after the Gen Z uprising, with the quest for a model of socio-political actions. The other concern is finding the right idioms to define the psychology of alterity, a concept long practised by different political parties and social groups. I had never seen or experienced such a moment in the country. The uprising is also a moment of awakening and self-reflection for political parties and ideological groups. One espouses certain ideologies or philosophies about the principles of organising the affairs of the state and planning one’s actions in government or public life.
