Nepali Community in India Voices Worry Over Nepal’s Unrest and Violence
Nepali people living in Jamnagar, Gujarat, are feeling a mix of relief and deep anxiety about the chaos back home in Nepal. They cheer the exposure of corrupt leaders, but the rising violence and loss of innocent lives have them on edge.
On Friday, a bus full of Nepalese citizens left Jamnagar, heading to the Nepal border. It should arrive in three days. These folks, who called Jamnagar home for the last year and a half, are rushing back to join their families amid the turmoil.
Curfews across Nepal are trapping many inside their homes, making daily life tough. With around 21,000 Nepalis in Jamnagar, the community stays glued to news, fretting over relatives’ safety.
Santosh Soni, a Nepali resident there, shared his thoughts: "People in Nepal feel so unsafe right now. But those of us in India, like in Jamnagar, feel protected and supported. We really appreciate the Indian government’s help and security."
Calls for Peace from Nepali Diaspora in Odisha
Over in Jharsuguda, Odisha, the Nepali community came together for a heartfelt gathering. Members of the local Gorkha group showed support for families hit by the Nepal protests and urged everyone to drop the violence for talks instead.
Neetu Thapa, active in Jharsuguda’s Nepali circle, explained the roots of the unrest. "I’m deeply connected to our society back home. Nepal’s politics are crumbling, and young people are fed up, turning peaceful protests violent. It all started with Gen-Z rallies against social media bans, but corruption runs deep as the real trigger."
She went on: "Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has stepped down, and Gen-Z made their voice heard. But too many lives are lost, and the country’s assets are wrecked. We need to stop the fighting and find a way forward now."
Chaman Gurung, head of the Gorkha Society in Jharsuguda, echoed the sorrow. "We’re heartbroken by this. Protests against corrupt leaders shouldn’t destroy public property or spark such chaos," he said.
Gurung pushed hard for calm: "What’s happened is done. We just want peace back in Nepal. Our families are there, suffering in the unrest. No matter who leads next, we believe Nepal should restore the monarchy and return as a Hindu nation."
As Nepal’s crisis unfolds, these voices from India’s Nepali diaspora highlight the human cost and a strong call for unity and healing.
