The Silence of Youth Has Now Become a Movement

Bishnu Dulal

Today’s youth are not weak, they are silent.

But history has repeatedly proven one truth, when the silence of youth breaks, it does not merely create noise, it changes eras.

 As a young person, and through my own experiences in life, I have deeply realized one thing, a human being can tolerate poverty, struggle, and hardship, but cannot tolerate humiliation forever. When the dignity of youth is attacked, when their dreams are mocked, when their future is treated like a cheap political tool, a volcano silently begins to grow within them.

When injustice increases in society, when corruption becomes the culture of the state, when criminals rise above the law through money, power, and political connections, when rapists and corrupt individuals occupy respected positions,

when uneducated mindsets attempt to rule over educated youth, when the younger generation is constantly taken for granted, then dissatisfaction alone is not born, rebellion is born.

That is why the emergence of new ideas, new organizations, and movements such as "Cockroach Janata Party" should not merely be viewed as political groups or parties.

They are the expression of suppressed anger among the youth. They are the explosion of wounded dignity. They are the silent digital revolution rising against a corrupt system.

Before asking, who created it? or why was it created? society must first ask, what circumstances forced its creation?

When individuals sitting in the highest constitutional positions use insulting words against young people, it is not merely an opinion, it is an attack on the identity and dignity of an entire generation. It is an assault on their dreams. It is a dangerous test of their patience. Today’s Gen-Z and Gen-Y are not generations that will remain silent out of fear. They are generations rising above caste, religion, language, and political divisions. They are connected to the world through digital platforms.

They have learned to recognize injustice. And they have already proven that in the digital era, silence itself can become a massive movement.

Millions of followers on social media are not merely numbers or popularity. They are signs of awakening. They are symbols of collective frustration. They are indicators of upcoming social, political, and ideological transformation. Nepal’s Gen-Z has already shown the world the power of digital public movements. Across the world, young people are challenging outdated systems and corrupt structures. Therefore, those corrupt politicians who once believed such awakening could never happen in countries like India are now beginning to realize they were wrong.

Governments and authorities must understand one truth clearly, young people cannot be suppressed forever. When humiliation, unemployment, corruption, and injustice cross all limits, youth frustration can transform into a fierce force capable of shaking entire systems. Do not turn youth into crowds carrying political flags. Do not use them as tools during elections. Do not make them mental slaves. Do not divide them in the name of religion, caste, or political ideology. If you truly want to save the state and the nation, then Give youth respect. Give them employment. Give them skills. Give them opportunities. Provide them with an environment where they canthink and speak freely. Create practical education and meaningful jobs. Value merit and capability over connections and corruption. Because youth are not only the future of the nation, they are its greatest power in the present. If the energy of youth is misused, revolutions are born. But if that same energy is guided toward nation-building, a golden era can emerge.

Today’s generation is conscious and aware. This generation knows how to question. This generation seeks truth before obedience. This generation wants to live awake, not afraid. Youth no longer want humiliation, they want dignity. They no longer want empty speeches; they want opportunities. They no longer want slogans, they want justice. They no longer want false promises, they want transparency and accountability.

Remember this clearly. When the patience of youth ends, history changes.And when the consciousness of youth awakens, no corrupt system can survive for long.
