Having observed many different threads in Sajha, it's been obvious to me that the most racist attitude in Nepal are carried by Newari friends. No offence though. I'm not posting this message to add another racial comment, but we definitely need to identify and eliminate sourness within all different nepalese communities before we can actually fight against our other adversities to develop country. First of all, we need to make a habit of accepting each other and respect each others values. It does not matter who becomes President and Vice president of Nepal as long as they are Nepali. We should come out of the Geographical cage and make a broader perspective to understand the Country as a whole. For those who consider only Kathmandu Valley as the whole country, it may take some time to completely accept a Madhesi being President of Nepal. But, it's an unevitable fact that they should start broadening their view of Nepal from valley boundaries to it's actual periphery. Tika: might have born and brought up in Kathmandu. He can never understand how does the actual Nepal look like unless he goes and sees farmers in Terai and Himal regions.

I do not understand why Newari people always have so much bitterness against Bahuns and Madhesis. Newari community has been very successful in Business than others and also they have good impact in bureaucracy and many other fields.Why are they always complaining against bahuns and madhesis ? Lead positions in many of the political parties are bahuns does not mean that they are there by suppressing leaders from Newar and other communities. Bahuns and Kshetris are the most widespread communities in the country and certainly they are in much better position to accept every other communities. We cannot change history, but certainly can determine our future by taking positive steps and trying to find commanalities rather than differences. Lets try to understand the actual demography of the country and respect each others values. Tika:, if you consider yourself a Nepali, you should first know about your contry and it's people. At this time there does not exist a thing called Bahun bhasa. There is a common language for all Nepali people and that is 'Nepali'. I do respect Newari communities for their heritage, and most of my friends are Newars though I'm born in bahun family from Terai.
