The government banned Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and X. for young people; this was more than just losing apps. It felt like losing their voice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result was chaotic. According to Reuters, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/international\/nepal-gen-z-protest-death-toll\/article70040766.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">51<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people were killed and more than 400 were injured in the protests. Most of the demonstrators were young, aged between 13 and 28. The unrest forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Indian students, this is not just a story about Nepal. It is also a lesson in international law and how a country protects its citizens abroad. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.srmuniversity.ac.in\/\"><b>top law colleges in Delhi<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">often use such events as real-world examples. The<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">colleges<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">train students to connect law with global events like this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indias_Consular_Response_Safety_First\"><\/span><b>India\u2019s Consular Response: Safety First<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When violence spread, the priority of India was the people in Nepal. The Ministry of External Affairs set up 24*7 helplines. Emergency cells were opened. Stranded tourists and students were given safe passage home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data from the Indian embassy in Kathmandu shows that thousands of calls were handled within the first three days of the unrest. This was a clear use of consular protection, which is a state\u2019s duty under international law to keep its citizens safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For students at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/srmuniversity.ac.in\/department\/department-of-law\"><b>top law colleges in Delhi NCR<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this is a living example of how legal principles like the Vienna Convention are used in real life.

They will violate sovereignty. This balance is quite tricky. On one hand, there is the duty to protect. On the other hand, there is the basic principle of non-intervention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the protests, more than 5000 Indian citizens were reported to be in affected areas. India had to act carefully, supporting the people without stepping into the domestic affairs of Nepal. This is exactly what international law teaches: helping without interference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/srmuniversity.ac.in\/department\/department-of-law\"><b>top law colleges in India<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, students often debate about these principles. These colleges that cover international law courses show how sovereignty, protection, and diplomacy intersect with each other. For students, the unrest in Nepal is a case study that they can learn from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_Matters_for_Future_Lawyers\"><\/span><b>Why This Matters for Future Lawyers<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Nepal crisis shows that law is not just about courtrooms.

It is about guiding governments when people are in danger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per the Harvard study, 73% of international crises are all about questions of law, starting from refugee rights to sovereignty.
