Nepal ??? What is Nepal....n who r d Nepalis ??? Like tugged out said ...Nepal is made up of a moasic of ethnic groups...amongst whom many feel rooted 2 their culture n yearn 4 a betta way of life....n resent d elite few who have run Nepal for d last couple of centuries. I applaud d way these group of plp have extended their domination over ethnic minorities...who r the rightful citizens of the land dat makes up Nepal. Had d ruling group been more liberal n less driven towards exploitation...we cld have perhaps seen a more peaceful n progressive Nepal...had they allowed indegenious groups 2 practise their customs n culture without imposing d Nepali language n Hindu religion......many things cld have turned out better dan wat we have been accustomed 2 these days. The ruling class have had a very discriminatory policy of prolonging their stay in power n strengthening their grip on placcid indegenious through d spread of Hinduism n d nepali language...pluz their custom deceits. Alas...it seems dat d time has come ...4 us 2 realise dat we can't b passive 2 achieve our aspirations...many principalities in d past had revolted 2wards d rule of d Shahs...it juz seems a pandora’s box is awaiting 2 b opened imminently...remember d 1950s wen a few were sacrificed 4 d crimes of their plp in d eastern hills ??? We dun want dat 2 happen again do we ??? So guys instead of bickering amongst urself....noe d reality dat has poisoned d country……d Maoist insurgency n d fight 4 democracy r juz d tip of d ice-berg of problems squeezing d breath out of Nepal….It is high time dat a certain cancer gets removed frm d Himalayas 4 good. Now, Y has Nepal been a failed state.....????
