okay this topic has been discussed umpteen times already. we got the new anthem and while i do believe that the composition could have been a lot better-- more national-anthem-like, i do appreciate the lyrics. sometimes i feel that we nepalese are too critical of petty stuffs and in the process we tend to miss the jungle for a tree. tyo national anthem mai adkera basi raakhne ho? "baneko chha paharale" is a good patriotic song but it doesn't qualify to be a national anthem IMHO. the lyrics is a proud statement of being a nepali but it doesn't describe or eulogize nepal. nepal--the country-- should come before any nepali.
