       No offense at all, but why do you insist on using Nepal Smabat instead of  Bikram Sambat, though it was started and popularized from Nepal, it only represents a small group of rich people in nepal.

As CEO stated, Newars outside the valley dont' even care, what newars in KTM do and want, heck they don't even speak the newari language except narayangadh and hetauda, I think it is time to focus in Nepal as a whole instead of appeasing a few in the Valley, who think they are better than everybody and who think they represnt Nepal as a whole. Have you realized how many kinds of people live in nepal??

Nepal Sambat should be valued, cause it was started in Nepa, as in Nepal Valley which became the Name of the whole Nepal. I still remember my grandparents and great grandparents saying, going to Nepal instead of saying going to Kathmandu.

The rich Newari culutre and Heritage has a lot of significance in our Nepali History, but it has to stop somewhere, we don't wan to be coaxed into it.

I guess Rich people always decide what is best for everyone right??? maybe it's time the manipulation stopped and time to start thinking for the overall good of the Whole Nepal and not only The Valley Nepal...

my 2 cents..
