Sanskrit is the mother of a lot of languages spoken in this region. Rather than protesting government spending money on Sanskrit, it would be wise to ask for similar funding for other language studies too. Nepal has always been a safe haven for all beliefs. Has not been that, why Nepal has been providing the freedom loving Tibetans a respected refuse? Even schools like Tashi Namgyal School which teaches Tibetan scripture has been recognized and helped by the state. I am not saying it is bad, it is a good thing from the state. Similarly state should invest in Newari, maithali, etc. etc. language. So, why single out Sanskrit? It is our heritage, if one finds it hard to learn, at least don't hate it. If it was not for Sanskrit, Nepali language wouldn't have been there. The funding from temples come from the worshippers who are Hindus and not from anyone else; the embezzlement of the fundings is another issue to be concerned about. It is very sad to see how many in Nepal have adverse feeling towards Hinduism. The complaints from Dalit janajatis is justified as they haven't been treated well by the upper casts, but the tirades from other beliefs .....unbelievable. Again, don't blame Hinduism to support Secularism, there might be other true and just reasons you can use to defend secularism, as this word in itself is a good and meaningful word. Even from the long list of discussions, we can see, how SPA's action has instigated conflicting ideas and streams of blamings among us, which wasn't there before.
