To the extent that the Hindu symbols of Nepal represent essential traits and values of a Nepali, they help us be more unique, more supportive and more creative as Nepali Hindus. Any nation devoid of a common identity, lacking objects that point to the past or direct toward the future, tends to be sterile. Nations like Nepal already rich in meangingful symbols of Hinduism makes it easier for citizens  to know who they are and therefore what they should do. We need a supportive symbolic ecology in Nepal so that we can feel safe, drop our defenses, and go on with the tasks of life. That is why we should not make any radical changes. It is one radical change after another than has brought us to the mess that we are in right now. We need to find commonality in our roots. We still have one of the richest cultures in the world. Let us not undermine the work done by our ancestors over hundreds and thousands of years in one generation.
