How should India respond to Nepal's Gen Z revolt? Ex-envoy to Kathmandu responds

Former Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Ranjit Rae, shares his thoughts on how New Delhi should respond to the ongoing crisis in Nepal, where student protests have escalated into chaos. He states that India cannot have a hands-off policy due to its deep, fraternal relationship with the nation. He suggests India must support the aspirations of the Nepali people and whatever new dispensation emerges. While the protests are seen as homegrown, driven by anger over joblessness and misgovernance, the chronic political instability is a concern for New Delhi.
