It will happen, but it'll take time. Two scenarios that I'd like to present here (I like Matrixrose by the way). Scenario 1: What comes in mind when we think of ourselves as Nepalis? "Nepal sundar shanta vishaal" and "Nepal, 4 warna 36 jaat ko SAJHA garden". (I might be deviating from the topic a bit here because I will focus my essay only on Nepal.) Whats important to me is the fact that theres there 36 different flowers that bloom in Nepal, that have their own culture, identity, dialect, scripts even. What I dislike is the fact that there's discriminatyion among castes and hence, their cultures. Bahuns, "considered" as the highest caste (I am one, by the way, for full disclosure) and so on and so forth. What it was meant to be was that when the caste system started in Nepal, it was meant for economic reasons, with each caste representing a specific area of economy, (bahuns as pundits and bookeepers, chetris as warriors, sunuwars as those involved in mining and gold etc, ). but then it deteriorated into a caste "hiearchy" whereby unfortunately the bahuns and other higher castes started taking advantage. Thats the problem that needs to be solved and the solution is simple: dissolve the hiearchy. However, the different cultures represented by 36 different castes themselves do not dissolve do they? So are we to dissolve the entire caste system thereby creating a vaccum in Nepal's pride as a peaceful country of "4 warna 36 jaat"? or are we to maintain that, and take a MUCH longer and difficult path to peace amongst castes BUT protecting the identities of all these different castes and their cultures? Because kids who are born out of inter racial/ inter caste etc, marriage are generally confused as to what cultural path they choose. I AM NOT IN FAVOUR OF EITHER, CUZ IM STILL YOUNG AND IN A DILEMMA. YOUR OPINION ON THIS SCENARIO FOLKS? Scenario 2: this is short. The world's becoming smaller and we are dominated by the US. Thats my definition of today's world. So in such a scenario, are we to break the boundaries of culture, ethnicity and diversity and get on the "humanity" train, or are we to maintain one of mankind's most distinguished characteristic: DIVERSITY in culture, language etc by NOT getting involved in inter-racial/ inter-whatnot...marriages/ relationships etc.? I know ethnic diversity will always remain, its not like in the end, the whole world will look white or asian or anything for that matter. THE ISSUE AT HAND is WHAT is THE solution??????? ONCE AGAIN, ID LIKE YOUR OPINION:
