Birbhadra dai, alas! do not take offense of what I have said, and surely you must realize that I am not trying to say all bahuns are bad, corrupt and needs a kick on their ass. If you are to think about it carefully, you will see that infact I am actually blaming this culture of brahminism that has been there for ages. Unfortunately, bahuns are the ones at the top of this hierarchy followed by the rest and at the bottom are the dalits/untouchables (and what to make of rest of the people who do noteven belong in ths class at all) . Our short lived democracy of 1990 did not try to correct any of this. In fact by defining Nepal as a Hindu nation in the 1990 constitution only approved of such class system albeit subtly. Then there comes the question of official language...Nepali. Everything official is done ONLY in Nepali which again is the primary language of Khas speaking bahuns, well what about the rest of the ethnic people who do not speak this language on daily basis? Isn't this a hegemony of some sort in the name of democracy? So who ends up getting the advantage at the end? Whether you like it or not Birbhadra dai, although not your intention, you have been given privilege, your kind have been given privilege over the rest all so in the name of democracy. That is the real problem of Nepal. Unless, people are truely represented in the parties this time around, the likely hood of this not changing is pretty high.
