SHIV and friends... why just because india has it, why nepal must have it.. futhermore all the bad things...??? try to be more positive... if you are concern for the women in nepal thats, good on you but in nepal be it what may be in the past or even now there are also not much rights for women. someone told me that in singapore also a secular state, muslim are not allowed to marry more then 2 wives... alll its citizen regardless of religion must follow state law!!! so you may like to check that out yourself for a better view of those who has better secular state and is this improving! about the cow understand it holy to many... but well what do you do when you watch TV or overseas???
