On the policy of removing compulsory Nepali from higher education curricula, I am more with my ideological rival, Ashu. I think High school Nepali is enough for students to appreciate the language and continue learning and, if they like, creating literature on their own. Since the policy is not to scrape Nepali off the curriculum, but to make it OPTIONAL from COMPULSORY, those who are interested can still benefit from the curriculum. I love Nepali language. I am most comfortable with it. I hate English. But I think we will be better off helping mastering this most useful international language than forcing Nepali language to unwilling 11th graders. The first is necessity, the second just a luxury.
