Ep: 404 | Bhusan Dahal on Nepal’s Media, Politics & the Need for Real Leadership | Sushant Pradhan

In this robust and unfiltered conversation, veteran media personality Bhusan Dahal dives deep into the current Nepali political crisis, media censorship, and the state of leadership in Nepal. From the rise and fall of communism to the controversial Social Media Bill in Nepal, Bhusan Dahal shares his candid views on how the country has drifted away from accountability and progress.

We explore the troubling misuse of media, the erosion of media ethics in Nepal, and how freedom of speech is increasingly under threat. Dahal opens up about the Tinkune riot, deepfake videos from recent monarchy protests, and whether Nepal’s parliament is equipped to serve the people. He also critiques the lack of role models in Nepal and questions why our brightest minds are often overlooked.

Could a directly elected PM be the change Nepal needs? What would a more competent and people-focused political system look like? Is cannabis legalization a potential path to revenue and reform? These are just a few of the bold ideas explored in this eye-opening discussion.

If you're frustrated with where the nation is heading or curious about what real leadership should look like, this is a must-watch. Tune in to the Bhusan Dahal podcast and join the conversation on building a better future for Nepal.
