As an adult, I think it is important understand the logic behind the use of language. If we do little research on Nepalese history it is clear how superlative language of 'garibaksyos' and all arose from and what purpose it served. It is important to change our behavior if we believe in 'New Nepal' or beleive in changes in society. It is wrong to stick to an 'old habit' even when we understand its implication just because it sounds good. Once i read the book 'fatalism and development', personally i stopped using the language even when i was taught at home to use it because i felt it clearly was a language of too much supremacy!!! I think this is entirely a personal choice though!
