Pro-monarchists and royalists demonstrate in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 11, 2025, presenting their demands for the reinstatement of the monarchy in the nation following the Gen-Z revolution that brings regime change in the Himalayan nation. Nepal abolishes its centuries-old constitutional monarchy in 2006 after then-King Gyanendra seizes power and imposes an emergency, placing all leaders under house arrest. The movement, also referred to as ''People's Movement II,'' witnesses bloodshed with dozens killed in a government crackdown against protestors. After weeks of violent protests and increasing international pressure, Gyanendra gives up and reinstates the dissolved parliament, marking the dawn of a new democracy highlighted as Loktantra (People's Rule). The Himalayan nation of Nepal has a population of 30.55 million, consisting of 81.19% Hindus, according to the 2022 census.
