eNigma too, Let me explain you one thing. Being smarter or dumber has nothing to do with being good or bad. Smart people can be bad and dumb people can be bad and vice versa. One more time for repeating same thing, those so called smart people who happened to be Brahmans and Chhetris don't care about other Brahmans and Chhetris. Why don't you understand? They are discriminating the whole population in general regardless of their caste or creed. Do you think that if a Brahman is poor and uneducated, other Brahmans would take him as of the same social standard as theirs? No. The issue of caste is long gone, you know? If a lower caste or janajatis are rich, they acquire the same standards as the upper castes. Yes, everyone knows that this is 21st century, even Nepalese know it, but do you think they are in 21st century? Have they maintained any other substandards like education, their ability, political and religious consiousness to call themselves that they are in 21st century? One more thing, no matter how secular Nepal will remain, the government is not going to take other religions as importantly as Hindu religion. I guess I don't have to explain why. Karmapa, We are not favoring Hindu state for sake of Hindu religion. Not only Hinduism, in this world of capitalism and materialism, all religions are fading. People don't believe in faith anymore and believe in themselves instead. I think you are taking this issue a bit lightly, comparing religion with marketting and economy at least not in case of Nepal. We don't have a society where someone can freely declare that he/she is an athiest yet. <<< In a day and age when people change religions like clothes, "Hindu state" ko auchitya nai k chha ra! "Hindu state" tag is an albatross around Nepal's neck.>>> I don't know where are you going with this, but I think this is why we should preserve our religions.
