Pashupati Shumsher JBR, a senior leader of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), has been in Nepali politics for decades. Coming from a royal family background, he represents the old guard of politics — experienced, traditional, and deeply tied to Nepal’s monarchical past. But in today’s shifting landscape of youth movements, digital activism, and calls for accountability, can his leadership still resonate?
Questions for the community:
- Does Pashupati Shumsher still have relevance in modern Nepali politics?
- Can he adapt to the demands of youth-driven change and digital democracy?
- Should old-guard leaders like him guide the transition, or step aside for new voices?
- How do his ties to monarchy and elite politics shape public trust?
- Is there a role for experienced leaders in ensuring stability and continuity in uncertain times?
Some argue that seasoned politicians bring wisdom and stability. Others believe they block progress and cling to outdated systems.
What do you think — does Pashupati Shumsher represent continuity, or is it time for a new generation to take charge?
