Political Unrest in Nepal Sparks Regional Concerns: Echoes of Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh Crises

Kathmandu / New Delhi — September 9, 2025
Fresh protests in Nepal have once again drawn attention to a troubling trend across South Asia. Over the past three years, not only India but almost every country along its borders has witnessed violent incidents and political upheavals.
Countries including Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and now Nepal have experienced unrest that, in many cases, led to government changes. Analysts link these crises to economic distress, political dissatisfaction, and regional instability that continue to test the resilience of South Asian democracies.
India, while maintaining relative stability, is carefully monitoring the situation, concerned about both security implications and economic cross-border impact. Diplomats emphasize the need for peaceful resolution and restraint across the region to prevent escalation into wider conflict.
