I don't think Nepali language is really imposed on anybody.... You can speak your language and still very much be a Nepali.. But, if you are talking about "Nepali" as a national language, be it India or America, every nation has one.. So I don't see no big deal with Nepali language... America is a secular nation and it boasts of its democracy, but even it gives emphasis to its language- ENGLISH.... People from all sorts of origin may stay at home and talk in their native languages, but when they go out, they have to speak in English because that's the common language.... So does that mean, English language is imposed on others??? If you ask me, yes it is... How wonderful it would have been, if I had tried for my student visa without going through the headache of TOEFL..... How much I would have loved my college, if it had not forced me take all sorts of English Proficiency tests after I came here... Damn I hate to remember those days :(
