WeHateTheCold has sparked online discussion after explaining why his ancestors could never colonize Nepal. His remarks, shared on social media, highlight the country’s mountains, brave people, and wise leaders that helped it remain independent.
The Energy of These Youths Feels Historic
The energy of these young people is unbelievable. Watching them march and raise their voices, I can see the same spirit that must have existed centuries ago when your ancestors stood up against the British. It makes sense now why Nepal was never colonized.
While filming in Kathmandu during the ongoing Gen Z protests, Harry also known as wehatethecold digitally shared his thoughts on Nepal’s unique history. Known online for his travel stories, the vlogger said witnessing the determination of young protesters reminded him why his ancestors could never colonize Nepal.
He explained that the determination of Nepal’s youth today is not new, but a continuation of the bravery that has always defined the country.
Mountains Too Tough to Cross
The vlogger explained that Nepal’s geography made it almost impossible to control. For example, the Himalayas, steep valleys, and narrow routes slowed down foreign armies. Moreover, harsh weather and difficult terrain acted as a natural shield, protecting Nepal from invasion. As a result, many colonizers failed to establish control, highlighting the country’s natural defenses.
He described Nepal’s geography as one of the main reasons colonizers failed. Steep mountains, narrow valleys, and snowy passes made it nearly impossible for foreign armies to invade or rule. Geography acted as Nepal’s natural shield, just as it continues to shape life today.
Bravery of the People Then and Now
Wehatethecold linked the bravery of past generations with the energy of modern protesters. He said ordinary Nepalis, from villagers to soldiers, stood against colonial armies just as today’s youth stand up for their rights. “This courage is in the DNA of Nepalese,” he remarked.

A Unique Place in South Asia
He emphasized that Nepal is one of the only countries in the region that was never colonized. While neighbors came under British rule, Nepal stayed free. After witnessing the Gen Z protests, he said, made him realize that the same fighting spirit still runs through Nepali society.
