Bangali Damini Well I'm not living this life to promote any culture or language or religion or any political or religious idea. I wont care if others will feel the same way as I do or not. After leaving Nepal, I spent allmost all of my life with friends and people who had very little or no knowledge about Nepal. Allmost of all of them had not a heck of an idea about the existence of Nepali language. They didnt care and I didnt feel it was any important to explain about it either. I already know about Nepali language and there is nothing more to learn about it. I rather chose to learn and know about their language, culture and their way of life because of a very fundamental reason, that is, now I was living amongst the new culture, new language and new way of life. Speaking Nepali and expecting to get anything out of my new surroundings was not the best thing to do I guess. So I believe the question about why people do or do not speak Nepali outside Nepal comes down to one simple question. "How useful it is amongst your new surroundings ?" All the other concerns like "Is it important to preserve Nepali language ?" will take a back seat.
