00:29The main reason was corruption that arises with everyone who is ruling the country, leading

00:37the country.

00:38They undergo a lot of corruption.

00:39That results in less development, but still the youth were fighting for their employment.

00:44Youth still were struggling to live, but as a lot of youth were struggling under on their

00:51own condition, but every Nepo babies, the babies that politicians babies were having

00:58a relaxed life.

00:59That creates a hunger of revolution in youth.

01:03At the same time, the government banned social media from Nepal.

01:08Social media was a platform where youth can deploy their voice, they can raise their voice

01:14through.

01:15And ban on social media creates, it pressurizes the voice of youth and it needs to blast one

01:21day.

01:22And as a result, the blast happens.

01:28I was on my own world and you say, I think maybe this is a part of this country.

01:43So now everyone is talking about this revolution.

01:46So I thought I should also be a part of this, I should be a part of this, so maybe I went

01:53a part of this revolution.

01:54I was really proud of you guys.

01:55I was really proud of you guys.

02:00I was really proud of you guys.

02:07I was really proud of you guys.

02:13But we don't have to it, but we were using VPN and the DPS.

02:22That was the most important thing.

02:26We used those things from Nepal and the people that they were using.

02:29So that was the most important thing.

02:31It feels really wonderful, yes. We have achieved just in two days.

02:38This revelation was, I guess, will name in the history.

02:42And it was a really good thing that we have did.

02:46So, going forward, what do you want in the future?

02:49Going forward, I want my country to be corruptionless and very...

02:56We did not have any opportunity, we did have a lack of opportunity.

03:02So, I guess, in future, our other generations will have a very better future

03:08and they will be able to do and contribute in their own country.

03:11So, I guess, it will be very good for them and for us, too.
