ImI, your repeated mention of the action of this declaration being being undemocratic is getting into my nerves. Why don't we have a ballot for each and every of the law in the constitution and see what the people want ? Do you think it is possible ? Obviously not. All the other declaration were fine with you and you rejoiced in the fact that Nepal is a democratic country now, then why not sit back and enjoy the fact it is not only democratic in writing but in action too. When a nation is formed after a long struggle of the people, the constiution is not drafted based on a an "objective type question" paper on what to include in the constuitution that goes for ballot. As Karmapa has mentioned, " WAS THE ACTION OF THE INITIAL DECLARATION OF THE NATION AS A HINDU STATE BASED ON BALLOT?" The answer is no ! The Hindu population was much more smaller then, it was only after the declaration that the hindu population started soaring. The original inhabitant of the country mostly followed shamanism and animism. they were all converted into Hindu, so what is the whole fuss about Hindu religion becoming extinct because it doesn't allow conversion. I am amazed by all these hypocrite people who cry “discrimination’ at the slightest hint, and when there is talk of a secular Nepal, where there will be equality between all religion, it scares them to death. Don’t start with words like,” there is an overall equality when Nepal is a Hindu state”, or “Now, there will be religious warfare because Nepal has been declared a secular state”. So, who are these people who are going to create the disturbances ? Buddhist, Muslim or Christians ? nobody ! If there is a problem anytime in the near future, then it will come from you, from conservative Hindus who are scared to even think of their religion without state sponsorship. Hinduism is not going to be orphan overnight, nor will people start killing cows on the street. There certainly is not going to be anarchy nor a revolution as no oppression or discrimination has taken place..it has only given the right for people of other faith to be a proud Nepali. Shiv, to your question on why the country needs to be secular while there was no need for it, I say there is need for the country to go secular just as much as it had theneed to go democratic from Monarchy. |
