स्वस्थानी बहिस्कार

 Basically, using the same argument as hers, one might say

1. Ramayan must be rewritten. Because, well, who believes that a monkey can help a human so intelligently? Or who believes that they can build a bridge?
2. Mahabharat must be rewritten. Because, well, who believes that a charioteer can show Vishwaroop to Arjun?

And so on and so forth. This woman wants science , as defined according to today's standard, in the books written thousands years ago. She wants to rewrite? Well, I bet her Swasthani would be like this:

Chapter 1. About the origin of Universe. This follows word by word from Physics Bang Bang Theory textbook.
Chapter 2. About the tale of Goma: Her Goma would be 27 years old, unmarried, women rights activists wearing shirt and pants. Her Shiva Sharma Brahmin would be 31 years old, whom  Goma denounces as too old and refuses to marry. She instead chooses a 21 years old boy for herself, like Manisha Koirala.
Chapter 3. When this young man goes abroad, Goma serves him a divorce notice, after hearing the rumor that he might be careless about the fidelity.
Chapter 4. Her son, Navaraj, now grows up. Goma is NGO activist, who suddenly finds herself in trouble with accountants. She is fired. When she is extremely in need of money, seven party leaders show up, and offer her a job to lead protest against King Gyanendra. She does that, fighting side by side along old Chhaya Devi Parajuli. The leaders offer her a post of minister after Andolan. She really thanks lord Shiva (he finally shows up here) for rescuing her.
Chapter 5. Now Navaraj acts like a king. The party of Goma has a Elephant as a electoral symbol. Navaraj's wife, Chandravati, kicks at police officer in Pokhara as she bounces around the country behaving like a new queen. Meanwhile, a deranged crazy prince, Paras, shoots her and she is paralyzed. That's when she remebers lord Shiva and visits Kamal Jain's "Health Care Center" in Sanga for her ayurvedic therapeatuic treatment.
Chapter 6. Needless to say, she becomes well and she is looking at Shali Nadi from her vehicle when low level party workers go to greet her and bring her back to Kathmandu where Navaraj, himself embroiled in different scandles, have now reformed himself and is planning to contest an election.
And so on and so forth. This is what a new Swasthani would look like, I guess.
