Very true Lonely1 I also appreciate the time and energy he spent to "educate" the Nepalis. But I wonder how many deserving Nepalis from a typical Nepali family got the chance to be enlightened by his "education". Ask only one question, would the "father" have been willing to contribute the same efforts if he were to teach under a temple, or a mosque for that reason? Looking at the contribution itself, no offence to anyone in particular, but to what extent and how many of the Jesuit-educated ppl have contributed to the welfare of Nepal except in maintaining and bolstering a "chaakari" culture or encouraging brain-drain? And how many Nepalis from an average background have gotten this chance? Its my personal view, but the so and so intelligent folks enshrined from ex-Jesuit should have at least dared to speak against the Christian evangelism, which still remains unconstitutional and illegal in Nepal, by the way. If someone converts voluntarily, no problem but luring and forcing will definitely disbalance our ethnic harmony. Instead, I, at this moment, would do a सास्टाङ्ग दण्डवत to George John (he is no less a Christian than any father but he chose to remain a teacher and never a "father" as such) the founder of PN campus, Pokhara and also the principal of my ex-school somewhere in Kavre. George John never talked about the प्रभु but to me, he is a messenger of Goddess Saraswati. BTW, I am so happy that he is still alive enjoying his retired life at Amarsingh Chowk, Pokhara. Dunno what Hulaki bro meant when writing at Sajha, "We should stop being Gurkhas anymore" but that is what it is. Keep rolling...
