Kaji shab, my comment was referring to the news below. I don't have problems about 'Jatras'. Even
If you wanna keep traditions alive like ‘Bali’, then do you want your wife or sisters get burned alive just to keep ‘Sati pratha’ alive?
State to shun Dashain sacrifices
BY BABURAM KHAREL
KATHMANDU, Sept 20 - The government will no longer spend from state coffers on animal sacrifice to various deities during the upcoming Dashain festival. The Ministry of Culture and State Restructuring has sent letters to the Kaushitoshakhana, Guthi Sansthan and the Department of Archaeology, asking them to stop sacrificing animals during the festival. The ministry has cited the Finance Ministry's decision not to release any fund to purchase and sacrifice of animals, a tradition throughout the country for centuries.
