Rithhi jasus, let me tell you something,I completely don't agree with you too.You see , you don't have to agree with samir neither your comment is greatest. You gave example of Newar.In newar community - shrestha, pradhan, malla etc are predominant Hindu.Newar are the community who have preserved buddhism.You see all the temple of Hindu god and goddess in KTM? who did that Newars.Ok! So , telling that Newars are not predominantly hindu is wrong.Yes, most newars follow buddisim as well. Giving an example of Shivratri- hmm..you sit there and count huh!!well , lets suppose you are right too.Take the ratio of population of newar who goes to pashupati, lot of newar do go to pashupati.Also, it doen't mean that if someone doesn't go to pashupati they are not hindu!. Also about 90% being Hindu, it used to be like that and i agree it is no more cause of Muslim reproduction rates and Christian conversion rate.Buddhist conversion rate has not affected the hindu decreasing rate. State and religion should be seperate , hmmm... though Nepal being only one hindu country in the world , It had religious tolerance.More than any country in the world.Did n't you see big mosque in the middle of KTM?Did fundamentalist hindu went and destoyed that.wasn't the missionaries doing their conversion of Hindus in Nepal. Now, let me tell you whats gonna happen , You wanted respect for other religion ..ok ..those chirstian missionaries will be killed in Pahad when the go to preach, The muslims in terai would have to live in Fear. Democracy was there for religion .So changing Name doesn't really give freedom and democracy .it should be done in practical way. Moreover if Nepalese would have voted for secular country then that would have been best.
