bineet, nepalnews is crap and bias and you just want to read what you want to hear just like all the people crying like immature fools to have hindu state. if you are worried that violence may happen do this move, then would suggest you get together with your fellow people of nepal to stop this from happening or discouraging it. you have a brain then use for the betterment of people of nepal!!! just don't say he said or she said, fact can be fictionalize and there are alot of this happening!!! shampoo... what do you mean were voices supporting the holiday on other religions' festivals such as losar, Christian Happy New year, easter day, christmas days, etc... before when nepal was a hindu kingdom???!!! just look at the holidays in nepal's calender and you are worried that the hindu festivals will be curtained, how selfish can you be???!!!! secular nepal is not about weather the mojority are hindus or people of nepal did not get to vote for it!!! it is not weather in the future there "will be more convert to" christain, muslim, buddhist, etc.. from hindu!! it is about realizing and respecting the past, the present and the future of people of nepal whom are non hindus and just like hindus of nepal facing the sun daily... to survive as a dignified human being.
