Sidster,
"1. It is important that each ............. should not be welcomed."
Nepal's different language are not tribal language. Khas language is also a language of nation as other languages are, which is loved by everybody, including myself. While we argue for preserving and promoting other languages, we are not arguing that we need to trash Khas. Khas and non-khas languages should go together. However, if Khas keeps its undue-arrogance for a long time, it will gradually push non-khas to other side of the extreme line, where we will have only two options left -> pro-khas or anti-khas. So, it is wise for Khas arrogants to realize the worst case and take necessary correction steps before we make enough damage.
"2. It is also important that ............. being a Nepali National."
Right, and the "Nepali" should be inclusive in nature that accepts all language, religion and ethnic communities of Nepal. Currently "Nepali" is only "Khas". For example, let us see how "AntarRastriya Nepali Sahitya Samaaj" works, there is no place for Rai, limbu, Gurung, Newar, Maithali sahitya, it is solely dedicated to khas sahitya. This mis-representation of khas in the name of Nepal should be corrected.
"3. Nepali (Khas language) is not superior than any other language in Nepal it just happens to be our common language. It is equally important as every other spoken dialects in Nepal."
We have to accept, it is spoken by largest % population, and hence will have top-most priority. But it should not get 100% priority killing rest of all other languages.
"Lets look at India and........................ their national language????"
Because, Hindi is not compulsory in non-hindi speaking states, and they are free to chose their preferred language. You don't need to have hindi-proficiency to get a government job in India. In Nepal, without knowing khas language, you possibility to get a government job is 0%.
"Question for those tribal.................. trashing our National identity????"
These advocacies are in fact strengthening our national identity as a true multi-cultural, multi-ethnic diverse nation. Not all languages are in equally preserved and I can not speak for other language. As far as Newar language and culture is concerned, it is the one which helped to preserve and promote national identity of Nepal, establishing its identity in UN registration, tourism promotion, art, architecture, etc. Just see a few pictures of the Nepal pavilion of China Expo, you will see abundance of Newar art and architecture. Just visit any Nepalese Embassy, you will see mostly Newar creations that establish Nepal's identity. If you find something Newar have done in trashing our national identity, that would be interesting to know.
