did anyone mention "separation of church and state"? It seems to have worked well for the United States. The whole Hindu State was Prithvi Narayan Shah's idea as he was a great fan of the Hindu emperor Mana. That 80% figure will probably change again when the next census is taken as more and more indigenous people and dalits probably go back to their original religion or convert because of inequalities, so just sit tight... Secular state i think is more fair for the entire population. kg
