Prime Minister Balen Shah is facing his first major political test after the death of a delivery rider triggered demonstrations across the country. The unrest comes against the backdrop of nearly two decades of political instability that have seen governments repeatedly collapse. On Spotlight, Daniela Laurel traces Nepal's journey from civil war and monarchy to democracy, explaining why coalition governments keep falling, how the 2015 Constitution reshaped politics, and why many young Nepalis are questioning whether the country's political system itself needs reform. --- 00:00 Nepal's Political Instability
