I find the newly converted christian to be more into religion that others.

Now it is the f*ing serious case. It clearly shows that she is been funded by the missionaries. I am still saying however people have right to choose what to do and what not to. But being an artist and denying like that giving the reason " no god is not one, only prabhu " jesus" is god" is not an appropriate term in the situation. She is the big time liar. She is full of shit and needs to know how to respect the religion whether its hindu or muslim.

जर्मनीमा एक बहसको दौरानमा एउटा पादरीले भन्यो "हिन्दुहरुले कहिल्यै पनि आफ्नो देश बाट बाहिर निकालेर आफ्नो धर्मको प्रचार- प्रसार यसकारणले गरेनन कि उनीहरुलाई थाहा थियो कि यसकोकुनै मुल्य छैन" तत्काल यसको प्रतिवाद गर्दै मैक्स मुलरले भने "यदि कोई व्यक्तिले आफ्नो आमाको सुन्दरताको प्रचार गर्दै आफै मुल्य गर्छ भने बाहिरी दुनियाँले उसको आमा लाइ वेश्या सम्झन्छन...यदि तिमीले आफ्नो आमाको इज्जत बढाउने हो भने आफ्नो कर्मले बढाउ..... प्रत्येक आमाको इज्जत उसको सन्तान द्वारा गरिएको कर्म बाट सिद्ध हुन्छ... यसकारण नै उसलाई बाहिर निकलेर प्रचार-प्रसार गर्ने आवश्यकता छैन".........तेसैले पैसाको लोभ मा धर्म परिबर्तन गर्ने हरु लाइ सत्बुद्धि मिलोस

अन्जु पन्तको अन्तर्वाता सुरु देखि अन्त सम्म आँखा झिमिक्क नपारी हेरे । हरेक शब्दलाई केलाएर बिस्लेसण गरे । त्यस्पछि अन्तर्वाताको मुन्तिर सर्बसाधारणले ब्यक्त गरेका प्रतिक्रिया पनि सकेसम्म धेरै पढे । उन्को अन्तर्वाता जे कुरा स्पस्ट गर्न लिइएको थियो त्यो कुरा स्पस्ट भएको पाइएन । जब धर्म सँग जोडेर यो बिबाद आएको छ भने त्यसलाई उनले स्पस्ट शब्दमा मैले त्यस्तो काम नगरेको र भबिस्यमा हिन्दू धर्म सम्बन्धित गीत गाउनेछु भनेर भन्न सकेको पाइएन । जब क्रिस्मस आउछ, हरेक नेपालीका फेसबूकमा सुभकामना दिनेको ओइरो लाग्छ । मैले पनि हिन्दू अनुयायी भए पनि हरेक बर्ष क्रिस्मसको सुभकामना दिन कहिल्यै कन्जुस्याइ गर्दिन । आखिर जुन धर्म माने पनि शान्ति, प्रेम, सद्भाब र भाइचारा त्यो धर्मको उद्देश्य हो भने त्यसलाई सम्मान गर्न कसैलाई समस्या हुनु पर्दैन । तर अन्जु पन्तको यो लग्भग १७ मिनेटको अन्तर्वातामा कतै पनि दशैं तिहार शब्दको प्रयोग भएको पाइएन । कुनै धर्मको चाडबाडको नामै लिन हुदैन भनेर कुनै धर्मले भन्छ भने त्यो धर्म अतिबादी धर्म हो । हेर्दा लाग्छ उहाँले स्पस्ट रुपमा गल्ति स्वीकार्नु भएको छ तर गल्तिको दोश अरुमाथी थोपर्नु भएको छ । उहाँ राम्रो गाएक हो तर स्रोतालाई उहाका गीत सुन्ने नसुन्ने अधिकार पनि सुरक्ष्यित छ । यदि कसैलाई उहाँको धर्म परिवर्तन वा अन्य आनिबानी मन पर्दैन भने सभ्य रुपमा बिरोध जनाउने पूर्ण अधिकार छ । त्यसमा अरु कसैले चित्त दुखाउनु पर्दैन । प्रतिक्रियाहरू पनि पक्ष र बिपक्षमा आएका रैछन् । आउने नै भए । ब्यक्त प्रतिक्रियामा उल्लेखित नाम सक्कली हून भने जनजातिहरुमा धर्म परिवर्तनले राम्रै स्थान पाएको देखियो । भर्खर भर्खर धर्म छाडेकाहरुमा जोस पनि निकै देखियो । उनिहरुले अन्जुको समर्थन त गरे तर उनी ब्यबसायिक गायिका हून भन्ने कुरा बिर्सेंको जस्तो लाग्यो । एक ब्यबसायिक र सफल कलाकार कुनै धर्म, जाति र भाषामा सिमित हुदैन । सन्सारका उदाहरण हेर्ने हो भने सफल कलाकारले त्यो रेखा तोडेको देखिन्छ । शायद अन्जु जन्मजात क्रिस्चियन भएको भए यस्तो हुने थिएन । नयाँ जोगीले धेरै खरानी घस्छ भने जस्तै यस कुरामा उन्को ढंग नपुगेकै हो । कुरा १७ मिनेट गरे पनि ठोस् कुरा गर्न नसक्नु तर रोएर मान्छेलाई इमोस्नल रुपमा प्रभाबित गर्न खोज्नु उन्को कम्जोरी हो । हिन्दूहरू सभ्य, क्ष्यमाशील, शान्त भएकोले उनले नढाटी भनेर गल्ति नदोहोर्याउने बाचा गरेको भए कुरो अर्कै हुन सक्थ्यो । तर उनले गल्तिलाई ढोक्ने नाममा फेरि गल्ति गरेकि छिन् । अब त्यस्को सजाय क्रिस्चिएनहरु र मुसल्मानहरूले जस्तो भौतिक त हिन्दूहरूले पक्कै दिनेछैनन, जाग्न लागेका हिन्दूहरूले उन्का गीत नसुनेर र अन्य रुपमा उनलाई नजर अन्दाज गरेर दिने कुरा भने पक्का जस्तै देखियो । क्षती न्युनिकरण गर्न चालेको उन्को आँशु रुपि अस्त्र काम लाग्ला जस्तो देखिएन । भर्खर धर्म छाडेका इस्टमित्रको भरमा मात्र अन्जुको सांगितिक यात्रा कहाँ पुग्ने हो, हेर्न भने केही समय कुर्नै पर्ला

This biatch is done. That's all I gotta say

If they hate hinduism why the Fuc...k they use words like 'Prabhu' or 'Parmeshowr'...Chi..k..ni pakhandi haru. The most striking thing while reading comments was so called Janajatis hating on hinduism, their own cuture and religious practices having the most nearness to hinduism. They should understand, if Nepal was not a Hindu state, all their traditions would have been vanished, like in northeast india or latin america or africa.

I smell a strong fume of utter hypocrites in this thread.

First of all, what she did was her prerogative. How many times has a singer rejected a song for stupid reasons? Once they hurt your religious sentiments, it becomes personal? I know you all have issue with her reasons, but what is your reason to force her to sing about your Gods? If she is wrong to reject a song based upon the religious grounds, You are wrong to criticize her on the same grounds.

I am a Hindu and I've learned religious tolerance. I have learned to coexist with Buddhism, Christianism, Islam or Judaism, and I have learned to respect other's religious rights. If I force somebody to sing about my God, I will not be any different to a Jihadist or a Crusader.

Let her sing whatever she wants to sing. Are we running out of Singers?

Also, those who accuse her of taking money to do all this; even if I believe you I might be mad at her but I still won't criticize her for not singing about my Gods or Islam's Gods. It sounds like the song is about all Gods, which is a good thing, but if you believe in the existence of these Gods then you also have to respect the belief of others who might believe that only their God exist. As long as beliefs are constrained to self, I don't see any issues. Issue arises when we force our beliefs onto others.

So @kiddo , I guess let's just boycott her, correct??

Laalmon, perhaps you didn't read my post thoroughly. Please read both of my posts and ask yourself how I'd answer your question.

Here the problem I have seen on her is that , it's ok if she don't want to sing a song but why she is giving unnecessary reason that she don't want to sing a song.

"If she is wrong to reject a song based upon the religious grounds, You are wrong to criticize her on the same grounds." - @Kiddo << This +100

It is said:
Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one and it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around...

I used to believe Nepal was a tolerant place, those were good old ignorant days of me. This incident has become like the Bollywood actor incident. I won't be surprised if few will take it to the street.
If such small incident is a pain in the butt, what will happen if few Nepali Muslim jihadists make it to the international news. Those days will come soon in the future.
She has the right to deny to sing any song she wants to. Unless you are so unsecured about your existence of your religion or a hard liner, I don't see any issue with it.
What next? She refused to celebrate Dashain?

People are just saying it was stupid of her to come out public against using the Hindu words while being a singer of a country with over 80% Hindus. Instead of just calling her stupid, people are taking it to the next level and creating a business of hatred for other religion.

May be her religion is more important to her than her audiences. Nothing wrong with that. Her fans have every right to refuse her and her songs and there is nothing wrong with that either.

Its her fame and her money she has lost. There is no need of name calling and going extreme.

Bottom line: Just as she refused, refuse her as well that's it

I usually dont post on sajha but seeing so many people taking sides I wanted to put my 2 cents. Personally, I've lived in US for over 8 years and have never heard of her or any of her songs. I might have heard her song in some of the Nepali parties I attended over the years but hadn't been aware off. So, getting to the point, I think as a person she has every right to sing or not sing any song. Whether it's a hindu bhajan, or praise allah or jesus. But as someone point before me that artist is not limited to any boundaries and I understand where that person is coming from. As a Nepali, I listen to English, latino, Chinese as well as Korean song ( am sure many of you have heard Gangnam Style). Anyways, since she is a celebrity, she should've chose her words more carefully. She should've just said I don't want to sing a song that would've been the end of it as am sure many artist have refused to sing a song or act in a movie.
But to say my religion wont allow is totally wrong. Just because you have freedom of speech doesn't mean you should be allow to speak anything that might cause hatred among other people. For instance several months ago famous TV Chef Paula Deen used N* word and caused major controversies which caused her to lose many sponsors and even lost her TV contract. Same was the case when Duck Dynasty dude spoke hatred about gay. I hope you guys know where I am going it this.

Tl:Dr: Just because you have freedom of speech doesn't mean you can offend other group of people and hope your freedom of speech covers the statement.
