I don't understand some of the statements as to "divisions". Who is creating divisions among the Nepalese society? Who is responsible? The answers to these questions could lie within many factors, both political & economical, which is not the objective of this thread. If you want to discuss about divisions, how about a new thread about Secularism. How come we are so sensitive nowadays regarding secularism? I don't remember people in Nepal fighting and killing one another because of differences in their belief system, be it Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity or Nature worship. How come all of a sudden people are so sensitive to their roots & their belief system? Just because some group of people prefer to use a certain dialect, creates divisions?? Who cares really who speaks what dialect in this day & age? Everyone in Nepal speaks Nepalese language differently. Who is to control who speaks what dialect? The Govt.?? Remember freedom of expression! The language first learned is called one's native language or mother tongue; both of these terms are figurative in that the knowledge of particular languages is ‘not inherited but learned behavior.’ The point here is ... anyone can pickup any dialect. It's a personal choice.
