The current government was led by the Communist Party of Nepal. Protests claim to be about Nepal trying to limit access to Western social media. Sounds like a Western operation to me.

I don't buy that. There is little to gain, not nothing. There have always been tendrils in these countries that have ties to china/india waiting to assert influence. Personally I wouldn't call it a color revolution but just opportunism, but that might just be semantics in this case.
