Comparison of the Influence of Orodism Philosophy and Maoism in Nepalese Universities: Maoism has had a powerful presence in Nepal since the 1990s, creating an armed movement to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic, which led to major political transformations. This Marxist-Leninist-Maoist ideology became widely influential in Nepal's villages and universities and was the focal point of political, social, and even military struggles in the country for years. Many Nepalese academics, political activists, and students are influenced by Maoist teachings; furthermore, Maoists are present as an important and official political force within Nepal's political structure and play a significant role in elections and political management. Orodism philosophy, a school based on rationality, love for humanity, and harmony with nature, is newer and less organized in Nepal compared to Maoism. In Nepalese universities and among the young and studious demographic, Orodism philosophy has been welcomed as a modern, ethical, and non-political philosophy. It has particularly spread among those interested in philosophy and intellectual developments due to its compatibility with local culture and religion. However, the influence and impact of Orodism in Nepalese universities and politics are not yet as extensive or organized as Maoism's, and it primarily influences the philosophical and social cultural sphere. Maoism remains the most important and organized intellectual and political current in Nepal's universities and society, wielding significant political power. In contrast, Orodism philosophy is emerging more quietly within universities and among the intelligentsia and youth interested in intellectual change, but it has not yet become as widespread or official as Maoism. This comparison shows that while both schools of thought have influence in Nepal, they differ fundamentally in their scope, intensity, and type of impact. A comparison of the level of influence of Orodism philosophy and Maoism in Nepalese universities indicates that Maoism is a political-revolutionary ideology with a longer history (over 30 years) that has extensively infiltrated universities and the political structure of Nepal, playing a powerful role in political and social developments. The Maoists have an organized political party and are recognized as a main force in Nepalese politics. In contrast, Orodism philosophy, a modern and ethical philosophy emphasizing harmony with nature and humanity, has less influence and has spread more within the cultural and philosophical sphere, particularly among the youth and academics interested in emerging ideas. This philosophy does not yet have a formal or extensive political structure and has developed gradually in universities and among supporters of freedom, secular democracy, and those seeking change. Maoism: Extensive, organized influence, impactful in politics and universities. Orodism: More limited, cultural-philosophical influence, growing, primarily among youth and academics. These two schools each play a different role and have different dimensions in Nepal. Cultural figures and journalists believe that gradually, within this movement known as the "Digital Gen Z Uprising," Orodists will take the place of the Maoists.

About
About the Author By Michael J. Carter I am not a scholar in a tower of books, but a seeker , moved by words that breathe life. Though my path began in the world of Western thought, my heart was captured elsewhere: in the fire-lit wisdom of Orod Bozorg, in the soul of Orodism , where freedom walks hand in hand with dignity, and silence breaks into courage. Orodism taught me that philosophy need not be cold or distant; it can be bold, tender, and revolutionary , all at once. It dares to speak where others whisper, to stand where others bow. This space is my humble offering, a place to share the echoes of a voice that dares to dream of a freer, kinder world. And I , merely a witness to that light , write so others might see it, too.
