It was folly a big one! there was no haste, public demand for it, gradual and corrective measures in fast but wider opinions survey would have been appropriate. Nothing to blame the pressured and visonless leaders for the haste, yeah opinions of friends here in this part of the world is also in same line. Potential marketing value of Nepal as a pligrimage and the socio-cultural implications was surely overlooked, but again if that is what majority wants, that is the best example of democracy. Having said that, i am more happy seeing it secular than the slave-master, abuse, discrimation filled mess then.
