Bidhan408, Did we had any kind of refrerrendum when Nepal was declared Hindu nation? Isn't that unilateral decision taken by a group of Hindu believers and off course the King, reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. For instance, do you agree if Nepal is declared as Bhudhist or Muslim nation? I bet you definitely not going to like it. Probably, you are not expecting Proclamation would not make nepal a secular state because you are Hindu by religion. I am Bhudhist by religion and I never expect Nepal to be a Bhudhist nation because it would undermine other religious belief. I have read some comments from sajha viewers saying Nepalese had freedom to choose religion even if Nepal is Hindu nation so why it is necessary to change this. Well for Hindu it is matter of pride and privilege given by constitution but other believers it is matter of not having recognition from the constitution and it is obviously a discrimination for them. Or Is that be better if constitution declares Nepal as Multi-Religion nation instead of saying Secular State or is it the same?
