guys, this is an inseresting thread. I am enjoying the postings very much. This is one of those few threads where people have actually tried hard to use their brain instead of just some emotional outbursts and hatred against one's ethnicity for their personal experiences (may be). To me, I appreciate what P.N.S did for Nepal. No matter it was not completed in his time, Bahadur Shah gave it the actual shape, but he started it all. Of course he had to sack Mongols, half Mongols (Newars) and other Aryans and tribal people in the south, but he didn't mean any ethnic cleansing, they were just on the way and they were separate kingdoms. And he had to win them to make a greater country. If he had so much hatred against other ethnic groups, why would he name our country Nepal, which was the name for kingdom of Newars only? Why would he encourage so many Magars, Gurungs, Rais and Limbus to join the national army? Wouldn't he be worried about the revolt? So, my point is in unifying this country of Nepal, which we are so proud of no matter what cast and religion we belong to, no ethnic and racial hatred was involved and no one should take it personally. If someone wants to make it even, it will be on due process.
