if we are to argue on facts after facts and each of us claiming our facts to be this tread will never end... from what i see those who want hindu state are mostly afraid of change and those who want a secular state think that when had hindu state they were marginalized by bias policies towards hindu... but the main question is weather who is the mojority of the nation or the marginalization of the rest in the past, the question is all of you daughters and son of nepal want in the future not for yourselves alone but also others in nepal. the person whom will be standing beside you as nepal citizens.. your brothers, your sisters, your friends.... pls always don't think what others cannot have but rather what others can have together with oneself even with different views..there is/must be a common goal.wish within all of us for peace, progress and respect for all people of nepal!!!... and in this fools mind, i think secular state respects all. or you all to continue want claim of birth place of buddha and sita or mount everest is not nepal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets work to keep this things together rather a word secular which in this tread hindus have said " hindu is secula ".. so to that hindus of nepal when you look at secular just imagine hindu and the rest see it as it... peace and best wishes!!!
