Who is Bipin Joshi? He was released from Hamas’s captivity.
Introduction
Bipin Joshi, the son of Padma Joshi and Mahendra Joshi, was born on October 26, 2000. His home is Bhimdatta Municipality-3, Malikkarjun Tole, Kanchanpur District, Nepal. Bipin Joshi left Nepal for Israel on September 29, 2023, for work and education.
A few months after Bipin Joshi arrived in Israel, a war broke out between Israel and Hamas. He was an unknown Nepali youth in an unknown country. He had been hearing since a young age that such wars were common in Israel. But suddenly, this aggression by Hamas seemed to take such a big shape. The war became more two-sided, and it turned into a big war. The war continued to rage and reached the hostel where Nepali and other national students lived, and Bipin Joshi, a Nepali youth, was also in that hostel. When Hamas was indiscriminately firing bullets and bombs, some bullets and bombs reached the hostel. The Nepali and other national students living with Bipin Joshi were caught in that war and started asking for help from their respective embassies, saying how they could return home alive. They said that all the students reached their respective countries and how they managed to return home alive. But Bipin Joshi was unable to return to his country, Nepal.
Who is Bipin Joshi? Students say that Bipin Joshi came as a god to us. Why?
Students say that when there were many bullets and bombs outside the hostel, some bullets and bombs also started entering the hostel. Then Bipin Joshi managed to get one of the two bombs out of the room, but the other bomb exploded inside the room, and there were only 20 people in the room. When one bomb exploded in the room, 5 people were injured, and others were left deaf and blind for some time. When they came to their senses, Bipin Joshi was not with them. They say that if Bipin Joshi had not dared to get one of the bombs out of the room, we would not be in this world today. Under the surveillance of the Israeli army, we were able to return to our country safely from that place, but our friend Bipin Joshi, who saved us, was kidnapped by Hamas.Nepal and the world know that Hamas has taken a Nepali young man hostage.
What did the Nepal government do for Bipin Joshi?
Arzu Rana, the Foreign Minister of the Nepalese government, says that Bipin Joshi is still alive. She says that since the day Hamas took Nepali citizen Bipin Joshi hostage, the Nepal government has been trying to talk to Hamas very seriously on this issue, but the talks have failed. Arzu Rana says that we have reached Iran for our citizens, and the Iranian Foreign Minister has talked to Hamas. And the Prime Minister of Nepal has also talked to Egypt to release Bipin Joshi. The most interesting thing is that when we talk to all the countries that are involved in the rescue of Bipin Joshi, they say that they do not know who Bipin Joshi is. The Nepal government has made it public that Bipin Joshi was taken hostage by Hamas, but when we talk to the countries related to Hamas, other countries say that they do not know Bipin Joshi. Ordinary Nepalis say that the Nepal government has not discussed the issue of Bipin Joshi in the relevant places.
What steps has Bipin Joshi’s family taken, and what is the mental stress within the family?
Bipin Joshi’s family has been actively seeking assistance and raising awareness regarding his situation since his abduction by Hamas. They have reached out to various government officials and organizations, urging them to prioritize efforts for his release. The emotional toll on the family has been significant, as they endure uncertainty and distress while hoping for a resolution. Despite their efforts, they express frustration over the lack of recognition and action from authorities, amplifying their mental anguish during this challenging time. The family plans to organize a public rally to draw attention to Bipin Joshi’s plight and generate support from the community. They believe that increased visibility might pressure the government to take stronger action. Meanwhile, social media campaigns are gaining traction, with many Nepalis expressing solidarity and demanding justice. Concerns are growing about the implications of such abductions for Nepali citizens abroad, prompting discussions on safety measures. The situation remains fluid, with hopes for a breakthrough amid ongoing negotiations. As the family prepares for the rally, they are reaching out to local organizations for assistance and guidance. They aim to create a united front that speaks to the broader issues of safety and rights for all citizens. In addition, they are collecting personal stories from others who have faced similar challenges, emphasizing the need for systemic change. The community’s response has been overwhelmingly supportive, with volunteers stepping up to help with logistics and outreach. As awareness spreads, the family remains hopeful that their efforts will lead to meaningful action and ultimately bring Bipin home.
No matter what the world is like, family never leaves. Bipin Joshi’s family, his sister and mother, went to Israel and fought for their son with the world, and the United States also supported them in that fight. But Bipin Joshi had to endure many kinds of mental and physical stress during the two years of Hamas occupation. However, the family managed to achieve success after a long struggle, but they could not return home alive with their son and brother. We cannot even imagine what it must have been like to spend these two long years of forced life underground. But a few days ago, in the prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel, Bipin Joshi was also there, but everyone was alive, except Bipin Joshi was not alive. After this long battle, many shed tears of joy, and the hope that was a little left in the Joshi family remained only hope. After receiving this news, the Israeli government itself has decided to grant Bipin Joshi the honor and dignity of a citizen and is preparing to send Bipin’s body to Nepal on October 23, 2025.
Mother and father have lost their support due to old age and one sister has lost her brother. No matter what the situation in the world is, family is always there until the end.
