Fot those who doesn't want others to speak hindi in sajha. could you also refrain yourself from speaking english. why don't you guys type and talk in nepali all the time. now that you might say, you live in a country where english is the language and that you have to speak it. then my friends, more nepalese live and work in India than anywhere else in the world. Nepali language is constitutionalized in the Indian parliament as one of the 8 official languages. i don't see anything wrong anyone speaking or using hindi in sajha. Another thing. I don't think King Prithvi forced the valley residents to speak nepali. he actually adopted all newari cultures and traditions and wellcomed all newari customs to his own western (nepal) way to life. such as keeping the tradtion of worshipping the virgin, erecting the phallic symbol on Indrajatra. As a matter of fact, Shah's were originally (before the time of Prithvi), were worshippers of Shakti or female deities such as GorakhKali and Manakamana Devi. Only after coming into KTM, seeing the Mallas equally devoted to male energies, they accepted Pasupatinath as the state god, instead of GorakhKali. I don't know if you all know that tradition of King being revered as incarnation of Lord Vishnu only started after the visit of Mahendra to Budanilkantha. That is less than 50 year old tradition.
