Was this necessary?

It was an international football match between two sovereign nations. People were also holding other banners which was within scope of the match, for example, "We are Red," Which means we support our team. But the Banner about Buddha seems like out of context for this match. It is a football match. One Indian even said to Kantipur TV, the spectators are hostile. If we, Nepalese, cannot provide a warm and comfortable arena to these international players then in near future they might even reject coming to Nepal for any kind of match mentioning the hostile nature of Nepalese towards Indians players which infact lowers their self-esteem and can affect their ability to perform. Once upon a time, we used to say, "Atithi Devo Bhawa, which means guests are like gods. And now we treat our guest as demons! If this is the culture we are heading, I don't see any hope for Nepal in near future. Culture plays a huge role in the development of a nation. If one cannot even control his/her sense organ and indulge in sense gratification then such behavior will ultimately lead to suffering. Similary, if Nepalese as a whole don't built a culture which is more intellectual rather than hardcore negative emotion based impulse, then there is no doubt that Nepal will vanish like darkness vanishes when sun shines in the morning!
