Samir bro, I really loved reading ur views. But I didnot get satisfactory answer of the core questions. Why should we remain Hindu Kingdom ??? What is wrong being secular ??? Me myself being Newar, I am documented Hindu but I am more buddhist than hindu. Newar culture is unique in itself, which has embraced both Hinduism and Buddhism. But if you say newars are predominantly Hindu, I deny you. You gave examples like Bisket Jatra, Indra Jantra. ........... Indra jatra is celebration of Buddhists. Kumari comes from Shakya clan, do you mean to say they are hindus. If newars were predominantly hindu, How many newars have you met in pashupati during shivaratri, very few ............ do you know how many newars you will see in buddha jayanti in swayambhu ....... all day. There is only fraction of Newars who celebrate Tij, who appoint Brahmin priests. Otherwise we have our own so called 'Brahmins' whom we call 'Gavaju'. I agree with you that Hindu religion has been here for long time, But I have also heard that Sankaracharya had done Hindu Crusade towards North burning all Buddhist literatures and monasteries. He stopped his crusade when couldnot defeat tibetians and chinese. When Buddhism was at its peak whole North India was Buddhist territory, only south was Hindu. The North India is still called Bihar. I won't deny that Hinduism was there way before Buddhism though. But the issue is not if 90% of Nepalese are hindu or not. .........It is, Should we remain hindu country or not ??? I saw examples of Shiva Sena and all ...... who do we blame for it ??? Are these results of country being secular or people being dumb ???? ........ If people are dumb, no matter what smart names you give them ...... they will still be dumb. I can understand you Samir, that by taking out word Hindu we are giving the way to the fundamentalists to come to the power, their most effective 'war cry'. But so far, I also believe Nepalese have some sense to know what is good and bad, unlike Indians, ruled by mob. The proof, If it was in India there would have been bloodsheds by now. We yearn for democracy, but what does demoracy mean ??? Isn't it to be ruled by the majority ??? No matter what, majority will always rule, this way or that way. But democracy also means RESPECT and HONOUR to the minors. By taking out word HINDU from NEPAL, we are just showing our RESPECT and HONOUR to other religions, the rulers will always be hindu majorities no matter if Nepal remains HINDU or not.
