Finally, Nepali music seems to mean primarily Nepali-bhasa music. But I have noticed that there has been a resurgence of Newari pop and Newari geet in recent years. Apparently, there are also Gurung geet and songs too and Limbu songs too. So: When talking about Nepali music now, is it not time to start talking about music/songs composed and played in languages other than Nepali-bhasa as Nepali music too? Finally, why are Nepali songs primarily about romantic love and tragic loss of a lover? Why gainays in our villages have turned local news/events into flowing songs, why is it that the commercial Nepali songs remain stuck in the romance land? Also, for a male-dominated society like ours, why is that most of these songs tend to portray men as stoic sufferers (such as Bhakta Raj's "jati chot dinchau deu mayalu" and Prakash Shrestha's "timro tyo safal jindagi, yo abhaagee ko badhai cha" and so on)? oohi ashu
