Ladies and gentleman, good afternoon After a long while it is good to read so many posting in Sajha. After reading all the posting in this thread I understood that ppl want to be different. Nepalese are more individualistic (that’s why we win more medals in individual games than a group game) Regarding the discrimination in Nepal, Yes we have discrimination in Nepal but not that serious as some ppl love to portrait. But discrimination is discrimination in whatever form. I believe now it is time us to turn Nepal into a federal state. To all those ppl (different cast/ language/ Janjatis/ religion or geographic origin) whomsoever want a state of their own they can have it (central government should control only border, defense, currency and big projects which local government cant handle). Somewhere I heard today that Democracy in 21st century is not the right of everyone to be equal but right of everyone to be different. So, if some ppl think they are different than someone else let them think like that. For example if a group of 20,000 ppl think that their race/cast/language or geographic location demands a separate state within the federal Nepal let them have separate state. Instead of spending time on who is good or who is bad (or who is wrong or who is right) we should spend time on real issue. PPl want to be different. They want to choose their ruler (of their type). The idea is not bad at all In new constitution one of the points can be: If a group (cast /color/geographic difference etc) of say 20,000 ppl (it is just my thinking it can be more or less) decides by a 60% majority in a unbiased referendum that they need a separate state within the Federal Govt., after fulfilling certain criteria (may be economic or something else) they can have their state within a year. What’s the problem with that? I am reading Sajha, may be from the beginning and I found that Nepali ppl want to be different . Madhesi wants to be rulled by Madhesi, Pahadi wants to be ruled by Pahadi, Gurung wants to be ruled by Gurung, If they want to be ruled by their like why should other ppl worry? By doing so Federal Nepal will have 30 to 40 states (my estimate) To avoid this we need a statesman which we don’t have, so, let the ppl be free to choose their ruler. Let the ppl feel they are different than others. I do not know why some ppl trying to prove they are better than others, may be because it is easy to talk in a free forum.
