I never believed the notion that discussing about ethnicity would lead to collapse of harmony between the people of different origin by race from nepal. It is very hard to reach a common ground on the standard defination of 'harmony' in the context of ethno-politics of Nepal. I dont care what your defination might be but I believe 'harmony' or 'existance of harmony' means an enviroment where people of different races/castes/creed/religion live or co-exist and treat with respect, dignity and feeling of equality towards people of different races/castes/creed/religion in every possible ways exactly in the way he/she would expect form others. Such a "harmony" NEVER EXISTED in Nepal specially after the unification of Nepal into a single state then there is no reason to worry about "stirring up" or messing up with harmony that never existed. Why worry about the ghost that never existed ? The most disgusting part is the fact that most of people are not even ready to acknowledge the fact that such "dis-harmony" has long existed and so does it today. Infact even the entire continent of North America suffers from the reminents of such a lack of HARMONY till this day. During the colonial times, the whites never accepted native Indians, not even as a human being in the begining. In Canada, Native Indians got voting rights in election only in 1964 and slavery of Blacks ended 80 years before it ended in the US. The reminents of dis-harmnony is still in the air between English and French, whites and Natives, Canadians born in Canada and Canadians born outside Canada. Today people talk about it openly so does the govt and the society as a whole has more or less acknowledged the fact that some reminents of dis-harmony does exist and it a begining of redemption and a path to harmony. Chao..
