The annual language of the Nepalese student becomes viral, social media draw comparisons

The fiery speech of a Nepalese student during his school's annual program has become viral on social media. The student identified as Abiskar Raut spoke up before the school's 24th annual program, in which he gave a stirring monologue who issued concerns about the political and economic challenges of the Himalaya nation.

“Today I stand here with the dream of building up a new nepal. The fire of hope and passion is burning in me, but my heart is difficult because this dream seems to slide,” said Raut, after introducing himself as the main boy of St. Bellschule.

“At that moment I stand in front of you to bring light to your consciousness by piercing the dark nimbus that dives above. I am present here today to immortalize the monumental change and the course of history.”

When he spoke of Nepal as a supporting mother, he asked if the citizens gave the country back something that was rightly due.

“Nepal, our mother, the country that gave birth to us and cared for us what in return asked? Only our honesty, our hard work, our contribution. But what do we do?” Asked Raut.

“We are tied to the chains of unemployment … caught in the selfish games of political parties. Corruption has woven a network that deletes the light of our future,” he added.

Social media reacts

In response to the speech, some of the social media users praised the boy for his self -confidence and his diction, while others could not help but compare with a certain Nazi leader.

“Those who have no trust mock him – the irony is not lost!” A user said while another was added: “His speech reminds me of someone. A man with a funny mustache.”

A third commented: “Brother, it's an annual day, not an annexation.”

The pupil's speech takes place in the background of the ordinary Nepalese citizens who demand the return of the Hindu monarchy. Thousands have taken to the streets to start the campaign and asked Gyanendra Shah to return as king because they lack concerns about political instability, corruption, living costs, unemployment and lack of economic development.

Almost 17 years ago, in May 2008, Nepal removed a 239-year-old Hindu monarchy to bring curtains to a decades of civil war that led to the murder of more than 16,000 people.
