Nepal’s 1990 Constitution recognizes its multi lingual character but the Supreme Court of Nepal in 1999. prohibited the use of any language other than the official language Nepali Khas .

IF THAT IS FOR OFFICIAL GOVERMENT BUSINESS THEN THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO TO CURB CONFUSION AND MISUNDERSTANDING. OTHERWISE WE WILL ALWAYS BE FIGHTING AND BICKERING WITH EACH OTHER(not that we don't do that enough already)

 

"And I also agree that people should have RIGHT to speak the language they prefer."

yeah speak it at home or at your leisure... no one is stoping you. But not when addressing the govt. Otherwise we will need an interpreter everyone a minority speaks. It would lead to total dysfuntion of the govt.

 

"and this act of Minister shows that we Indigenous people  shouldn't be neglected. This is Ours NEPAL too..."

If you think of it everyone in Nepal is indegineous in one way or the order depending upon what part of the country you  Come from.  





5. My argument is not about Passport, my argument is,  if in some place where more people speaks their own native language more than  they speak Nepali...like  Maithali, bhojpuri, Rai, Limbu, Gurung , Newari ,......then why that language can't  be accepted as a administrative language?? So in Janakupur let Nepali and Maithali, in Kathmandu/Patan/Bhaktapur Newari+ Nepali and so on be the administrative language?

So why learn English ? If Bhojpri or Maitheli is what identifies you then you should speak that with everyone. No need learning any other language. YOUR LOGIC HERE IS A LIL SKEWED.

 

Just read what UN Declaration(remember we have signed the treaty :-):.

I am all for speaking your own Language(I am also a minority in Nepal). But there has to be one National Language which all the citizens of Nepal should be able to communicate without any confusion.
