"Why are Brahmins where they are, the Royals where they are, and the Dalits and Janajatis where they are" This is true in India, a supposedly secular country, which elects religious minorities as leaders just to pay lip-service to the pro-secularism crowd. Even a retard knows that Hindu nationalism is on the rise in India, a supposedly secular country. Not just that, India's whole tech boom can be attributed to South Indian brahmins and upper castes. Why are you oblivious to this point? Secondly, I am okay with the AMERICAN version of secularism, which separates church and state in name only. All these faith-based groups that are funded by the government are predominantly Christian groups. In other words, the government aids Christians directly, and yet claims that they are for separation of Church and state. I, for one, will be totally fine if *WE* follow America's version of secularism, which will in fact guarantee that Hindus will still be the dominant force in Nepal. If we take the India approach, whose government just thumbs its nose on religions, then extremism will definitely rise, because that's the only way you can be heard. In America, they keep stressing the fact that the country was founded on Judeo-Christian tradition. So it's obvious to me that Christians just dominate America. Hindus should and must dominate Nepal as well, because we are the MAJORITY. Which model do you want to follow, India's model, the country South of Nepal, which is basically an utter failure, or the model of America, the most powerful country in the world, whose basic governing philosophy is to pay lip service to the liberal crowd, yet doesn't do anything to separate the church from the state? What about Bush's faith-based initiatives? One could easily argue that that's an infringement on one's religious freedom. The thrust of my argument is this: America is a success story, while India, as of now, is an utter failure. India's secularism is such that the government refuses to take any actions in terms of religion, while the American government launches faith-based initiatives(funding goes almost exclusively to Christian groups) all the time. Now the problem here is that there's no turning back because the maoists will stir up a riot. We just need to choose which type of secularism we want to follow.
