This is a good move. Also, a monthlong holiday for Dasain/Tihar needs to be tossed out the window as well. We should have at maximum a total of 10 official holidays, just like in the United States. This will make the country more productive. I hope they also address the sexist part of the constitution, which declares that to be a citizen your dad has to be a citizen as well. This is totally sexist and is based on the fact that Hindu society is mostly patrilineal. Scrap this, because it is against women. The next thing to be addressed is this: the constitution should protect minorities and untouchables, just as in the Indian constitution, and there should be no ambiguity. As a Hindu, I am glad that Nepal has been declared a secular state. This is a positive move that needs to be commended.
