neither me nor my family is disappointed by nepal being a secular state. nepal does not belong only to hindus. may be at one point it was populated by hindus, but today it has become more diverse with buddhists and chrisitans and muslims. it does not matter what religion we are, we are all nepalis to begin with. why so much hostility? teh moment we start saying 'this is a hindu country, nepal should remain hindu', we will start having religous conflicts. we have gotten along great so far, lets continue that one good tradition, shall we? why are you upset by nepal being declared a secular state? don't you have enough faith in your own religion that you want politics to protect itt?? bottom line, nepal belongs to nepalis, whether they be hindus, christians or muslims.
