A Nepali student’s heartfelt speech addressing the country’s political and economic struggles has quickly gained attention online, sparking discussions about the nation’s future. Abiskar Raut, the head boy of Holy Bell School, delivered a powerful address during his school’s annual event that touched on issues like unemployment, corruption, and political selfishness.
“Today, I stand here with a dream of building a new Nepal. The fire of hope burns within me, but my heart is heavy because this dream seems to be slipping away,” Abiskar began, captivating his audience with his passion.
He expressed deep concern over Nepal’s political dysfunction, calling out the nation’s leaders for failing to live up to the promise of honesty, hard work, and dedication. “Nepal, our mother, gave us life, but what did it ask in return? Just our honesty and hard work. What are we doing?” he questioned.
The two-minute, 19-second video, shared initially on Reddit, has now gone viral, with users applauding Abiskar’s fierce conviction. “We are bound by unemployment and trapped in political games,” he declared, urging Nepalese citizens to raise their voices against injustice.
Social media reactions ranged from admiration for his energy to playful comments about his intensity. “I will go to war for this boy,” one user remarked, while others appreciated his call for change. This speech arrives amidst growing political unrest in Nepal, where citizens are increasingly nostalgic for the stability of the monarchy.
