Ok and Newuser, I love Nepali bhasa as much as you do. Why, many of my friends in Nepal are sahitya-kars and writers and artists (with whom I enjoy discussing many things). Meantime, please also read: -http://guild.sajha.com/guild/read.cfm?guildid=78 So, let's not question one another's love for our maatri bhasa, all right? That is NOT the issue here. At any rate, I have requested (via email) the concerned authorities for some data (spanning the years 2000 to 2005), and I will base my conclusions re: the pass/fail rates and what other relevant numbers tell me. If the numbers tell me a different story, I'll be happy to change my mind. On another note, since Kedar-ji, who's a good friend of mine and for whom I have a lot of respect and who is a regular participant here on Sajha, and who's also one of the leaders for this "Keep Nepali Bhasa in Class 11 curriculum" movement, perhaps, time-permitting, he would care to share of his thoughts on this issue in the spirit of Sajha kura-kani where debates and discussions make up the lifeblood of this site. Nepe, I am delighted to note that you and I are on the same page on this issue. Here, let me raise a toast to this historic agreement! :-) oohi ashu
