Amazing how hypocracy is universal with every race and nation! It's hard to let go your power. In the past, we here at Sajha have seen so many caste bashing threads and there was one unamous voice infavor of tolerance and equality. Even the administrator of this site was involved, what do you have to say to these people, SAN? The same people seem to be nervous now and are exercising their inner hypocracy when the "Hindu" tag is removed from the constitution. No matter what, it's easy to say about equality among social gatherings and definetly very easy to type on your computer to pour your years of education's worth. Deep down inside, we're all hypocrats. There were also some threads questioning whether Buddha was born in India or Nepal. Many angry Nepali started spilling their disgust towards India's claim over the statement. Well, the answer is here- Nepali don't care. We're more worried about COW and the sipping of the urine as our main belief. So Buddha was born somewhere else, definetly not in Nepal. These same people have no problem removing their "Bishnu" aka "The King " from power, who with no people's consent declared Nepal as Hindu kingdom in the first place. The image of Bishnu being corrupt and evil reflects your own belief. Talk about yourself. They're coming out with lame thread like "We can eat COW now", which is just a making mokery of your own beliefs. Most of the Nepali eat beef as soon as they leave the country incase you don't know this; not tell their parents, that's a different story. So it's not new anyway. Some nations eat dog. Are they better off tha us, you bet ya. Nobody is going to force you to eat cow. If some does eat them, it's not your problem. How come these COW loving people don't see the cruelty of buthcering animals and playing with blood durung Dashain every year. The treatment and the conditions of those so called "Gai Mata" (cows) on the street , I don't think it portraits god and religion to an outsider.Those are nothing but abused animal wandering along the streets waiting to die and blocking the traffic. Nobody has said anything againt it or enforced their doctraine against killing. You like that way, don't you? It's called animal cruelty for the rest of the world. But to you, NOooooo. Oh I get it, it's your religion and you have the right to exercise it. If you can't get over with your old senseless beliefs, then you risk being "Nonsense" and practically you should not be involved in any matter to social justices. You don't let a crazy person drive your bike or your car, do you? A country represented by the constitution with that belief is dumb.Justice has to come with neutral, unbiased, senseable point of view. It's not about the Hindu religion, it's about any group of people having the majority of the power that can and has lead nations after nations into disaster.Todays' reflection of corruption and sick mentality of every Nepali are the byproduct of when only one group reperesents a country, constitution and power. We have seen that all throughout the world. A civilization can move forward when everybody is given the equal right especailly on the writing of the country's contitution. Just beacuse we have lived in peace in the past with Hindu declared as the main religion doesn't necesrily mean the socitey was better. It has created division realted with caste discrimination in marriage, untouchable and many more. Tell me those are right, and I'll stop writing anything here. If you have Hindu festivals imposed among the schools, that's FORCING your values. Why not other religious too. If you do not want other religious festival to be imposed on your kid, then learn how to be neutral. Nobody will force you to celbrate at your house. This doesn;t mean there's something wrong with your culture. We're different and learn how to respect that. There should be ALL or NONE. Neutral holidays like Independece day, Constitutional day, Labor Day should be put into place, but definetly NOT New Year or Dashain, Tihar, Losar. You celebrate on your own, nobody will bother you. I positively support this move of declaring Nepal as non Hindu country, atleast in the writing. Implemeting it, that's a whole new strory. One thing at a time. As much as I hate these politician, I think they made the best initial move towards future democracy. We complain about building our nation, peace, prosperity. Well this is the first move, atleast on ink and paper. So I'd suggest everybody to move FORWARD, and not BACKWARD.
