Ok, the concept of King revered as the incarnation of Vishnu only started when King Mahendra went to Budanilkanta and saw snakes on the street, presumely preventing him from visiting the temple (well, thoughts were that he wasn't allowed to visit his own shrine), thus the narayan temple was established in the palace area. Hindu scriptures never talks about King being an incarnate of any form. People talk about caste system, sati system and dowry system created by Hindu to be bad. There are purposes that these systems were placed in the societies to run smoothly. They were only corrupted by the priests of the temples who were only the learned Brahmins for a little financial gains. Caste System was created to divide the labor. The untouchables are extremely new compared to the actual caste system. In vedic times and even the ealy times of the last millenium, the lower castes were revered because they were actual ones who provided with all things that people wanted to ease and comfort their living. Sati was created again much much later and you do not find any mention of sati in any of the hindu scriptures. Widows were very very discriminated, and people thougth sati was the best way out. so, it was actually the women who started sati system. over time, again, this got caught as god's message by the priests and was made regular, when sati was only optional to all widows. Dowry was all started by the bride's parents, to help their daughters in bad times when they go to their new homes. Again, this got corrupted. Again, Dowry is not part of Hinduism. I agree with samir28's views. Hinduism is the only inclusive religion of the world. There are many gods and no gods. it can define you as a simple creature that has the capability to make reasons, or simply a creation. Hinduism does not ONLY (just) believe in idol worship. idol worship is only a medium to achieve moksha through Bhakti, when one praises the might of supreme beings. There are other methods memtioned to fine happienss and life free from sufferings. Hinduism is not that bad after all. To retain Nepal as a Hindu state is merely symbolic to stay atop in the world community as a follower of an doctrine that everyone else thinks is wrong. Cow is sacred in Nepal and should be illegal to kill one in Nepal as it is the national animal just like it is illegal to kill a golden eagle in the United States, or a peacock in india. Hindus all over the world can at least claim to have a land of their own doctrine, as the Christians do for Vatican, Jewish do for israel, Buddhist do for Tibet (Dalai Lama), and muslims do for Iran, and middel east.
