The struggle for democracy in 2007, the student movement of 2036, the people's movement of 2046 and 2062/63, the Maoist people's war, the Madhesh movement, all have one thing in common - all of them were organized, the agenda was clear, the leadership was identifiable, the demands were unified, and the political-legal roadmap of the movement was clear. Their objectives were also broad - to change the system, restructure the structure, or change the form of the state.

But the recent Gen-G movement emerged as a unique, new and complex turn outside this historical continuity. When the call for talks was made after the movement, there was no clear leadership, no organizational structure, no common agenda. The demands seemed inconsistent with each other. This is why it is difficult to describe this movement in one word, but it can be said for sure that this movement was the most different from the previous ones.

The demands also seem inconsistent with each other, some say that the constitution should be burned, some say that it should be preserved, some are demanding immediate amendments, some want the current parliamentary system to be abolished and a directly elected prime minister or president. Some have demanded that leaders like KP Oli or Ramesh Lekhak be immediately jailed, while others are expressing dissatisfaction that ‘the current system is wrong’.

Although the demands of the youth were fragmented, their emotional energy was common and remains the same – control of corruption, transparency, good governance, and an end to impunity. However, among all the demands is the immediate psychology of ‘seeking change overnight’. The main thing to understand about Gen-G's perspective is that they want overnight results, because their lives are surrounded by a fast-paced world where overnight changes are possible. The digital environment, such as the 'algorithm' of social media, the tendency to like/share/go viral instantly, has shaped their thinking. This is why they expect immediate results from politics and governance.

The student-led movement in 2036 BS sounded the trumpet of system change, but it took almost 10 years for its results to come. The movement of 2062/63 BS made the end of the monarchy possible, but its seeds were sown by the struggles that lasted throughout the 2050s, the Maoist insurgency, the cracks in the relationship between the state and the people, and the voices of Madhesi, Dalit and marginalized communities.

Zen-G also sounded the trumpet of change on 23 and 24 Bhadra, 2082 BS and has been continuously working to support the interim government for the construction of a government and state that is based on democratic values, free from corruption, transparent, accountable, inclusive, effective and citizen-friendly. Zen-G is dynamic, but there is definitely a lack of patience, energetic, but a tendency to doubt the process has developed. Because of this, Zen-G's tolerance is decreasing, while the pace of wanting results is increasing.

This psychology made the Zen-G movement completely different from previous movements. At the center of the movement were corruption, impunity, incompetent governance and deep disappointment with the state, but the proposals for solutions were not uniform. There was a common problem, but hundreds of ways to cure it. Within a single movement, countless slogans, thousands of explanations and millions of personal emotions flowed. This inconsistency became both a characteristic and a weakness of the Gen-G movement. Instead of the one-sided leadership and one-sided slogans seen in the old movements, this time it was led by diversity, emotional impulses, and the desire for rapid change.

One of the dangerous trends seen after the movement is distrust in methods and processes. Not only the leaders, but also Gen-G, who demand change, the common citizen, and the civil society that monitors, have gradually weakened their trust in the proper process determined by the law, that is, the method and process. This is due to the political instability that the country has been experiencing for years, the cabinet changes, the game of forming and breaking alliances, the infatuation of leaders, the corruption and impunity of leaders and employees, and the situation of impunity.

New leaders including Sudan Gurung have been making passionate statements from time to time such as not allowing old leaders including KP Oli to contest elections, starting protests if the leaders are not arrested, and demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and Home Minister of the interim government. But they need to understand that elections are an important democratic process, we cannot stop anyone from participating in this process.

Who will be arrested/not arrested will be seen from the report of the investigation committee. If the government takes any step without trusting these methods and processes, it will set a very dangerous precedent for the future and can promote autocracy. Dissatisfaction and anger are deep in the country, but an environment must be created in which solutions are sought through methods and processes.

Structural changes in the state are not something that happens overnight. Basic structures such as the constitution, law and governance system develop through long discussions, consensus and formal processes. It took 7-8 years and two Constituent Assemblies to make a new constitution after dismissing the king. Although the interim constitution was made quickly, the permanent constitution was possible only through extensive political negotiations. In addition, the constitution has given the federal parliament the right to amend and improve itself over time, and to amend or restructure it if necessary.

This shows that the constitution is not rigid and immutable, but has made provisions for it to be amendable over time. This reality is being forgotten in the current public sentiment. The complaints of Gen-G are justified, the country is tired of everything from administrative chaos to political decision-making, there is impunity at the top, and despair at the bottom. The voice of the youth is strong and necessary, but voice alone is insufficient.

If the constitution starts to be burned in emotion, the law starts to be changed in anger, the government starts to be overthrown in noise, and the political system starts to be changed in the wake of trends, then such changes will not be permanent, but rather become dangerous. Energy is needed to change politics, but methods and processes are essential to change the state.

In any case, the Gen-G movement of 2082 revealed an important truth, the youth are no longer silent. This is a great achievement for democracy. But it has also raised another serious question, will Gen-G become the leadership to improve the process or will it push the country towards chaos by increasing distrust in the process? The struggle against corruption, leadership change, are all extremely important and these things are gradually being addressed by various stakeholders

. The struggle for leadership change continues in old parties like Nepali Congress and UML, several parties are merging, Gen-Gs are openly participating in politics and state machinery. This new energy among the youth and Gen-G generation is positive and necessary. And, equally necessary, is trust in the method and process.
