If you are currently in Nepal then you might be facing problems with the ever changing politics and load shedding schedule. This has disrupted the Nepalese public life and created a sense of frustration. At these times, how do you know what people are asking from the government? The angry public and frustration has always caused people to come out on the roads and revolt to the government.
At these times, very few – I think, know of the existence beyond the chaos of Nepal, particular all those bureaucrats working on their desk that doesn’t have a computer – forget the internet, there lies a mass of people connected in virtual World. In global terms – we call it Online Social Network. In simple words, it’s an online society where people from different part of the world connect to share their views and thoughts. Few examples are Facebook, Twitter and different blogs written by people.
I have been involved in the social network for almost a year; I have, in my network, Nepalese friends from every part of World. Everyday people are discussing of the issues in Nepal and on the welfare of Nepal.People are writing blogs and articles to create awareness and inform each other.
Few examples of how Nepal is growing in Social Media:
Facebook Profile of Nepal :
Facebook Profile of Kathmandu:
Twitter Profile of NewsFromNepal:
Sharing ideas has become so easy. Discussing on topics has become very exciting. Getting informed has never been so easy. These new movements contain maximum of youngster with new ideas and belief. Nepalese young force is no longer bounded, they are as free as a bird and many social media events and discussion proves it. Social media sees no geographical boundaries, and all the Nepalese all over the world are participating in this event to Nepal’s welfare. Nepal is under the visible spectrum of all the Nepalese.
But as always there is an issue of Digital Divide, there is an issue of lack of proper management of the resources. But people like Mahabir Pun and his efforts to close that divide can be seen through the social media.
Facebook Profile of Mahabhir Pun:
Main line media has always promoted violence news and pessimistic views. But I resist them, be it a reality or not, what we need to do is to move forward learning from mistakes. Nepalese on Social Media is an example of how people are promoting towards better Nepal, everywhere you can see that effort being made by each individual.
The reality of people can be seen through these windows created on Social Media. But we must not only watch through these windows but act, as well. The new social movement is happening through online forums, let’s be part of it.

nice post nice to know about Nepalese on Social Media thanks for the post
ReplyDeletevery nice article. Social media is important for sharing and discussion about anything
ReplyDeleteSocial networking is really booming and nobody who has access to the internet seems untouched. But there is another side to the coin too. Social networking sites and specially Facebook and Hi5 are becoming more like addiction among youngsters. I have seen the public profile of some teenagers in hi5 and its really horrible. One very clear side effect is that they want to remain in this virtual society being detached from real society, be it home, school or such.
ReplyDeleteOne interesting incident just to share, one Bangladeshi friend of mine recently got locked out of Facebook without any proper reason or warning. He lost contact with more 250 friends he made in this virtual society, and all pictures and whatever he had in his account. He was very frustrated for many days because of that incident.
Social Networking sites really helps to be in touch with friends in the modern era of globalization, but I think we should not involve ourselves excessively in these virtual networking... There should be a distance, an emotional one.. Let these virtual Society not hamper our real Life, that's what I mean.
Thanks for the comment guys.
ReplyDelete@Kishor I really agree with you in the point u have made regarding the addiction of social media.
With all new technology and innovation, people have always become overwhelmed them. This is the reason, we all need to make sure that people understand the pros and cons of the innovation and their social impact. Especially the young people who have stormed the social media. Its a high time and we will see more of it in future.
Once again Thanks for the comment.
Nice article. Thank you for the analysis.
