Guys, if you are a bahun, why do you have a hard time accepting the fact that our ancestors (read Bahuns)  created the whole system to their advantage. Yes, bahuns were the literate. They were considered the sacred. They  took advantage of their status and if you were the leader, any caste would have done nothing different IMO. Remember how the whites took advantage of the blacks. If you look at the earlier leaders, they were bahun because they were the ones educated at that point in history. Understand that literate people bring about revolution in the society. That goes to the 2007 B.S. revolution as well and the recent Ganatantra revolution. Now, as a result of this 'old' generation (read Girija, Makune, Baburam), the bahuns have clasped the high ranking seats in the major parties. But the new generation is coming up and we will soon see a spectrum of castes in the parliament, as if we already haven't. Then only can we judge whether it was bahuns that crippled our country. If I had to bet, I would say jun jogi aayeni kaanai chireko huncha Nepal ma.

Hari_Dai,
yes your apathy is your ignorance. For some ignorance is bliss.

Peace!
