livewire, looking at the way u write, u look more like a politician to me. India, being the largest democracy in the world, I used her just for an example to tell you how decision is made in democratic country, I have used US too in my previous threads you never picked it up ...... u only picked India and accused me to be following Indians. I was asking for an example concerning basic rights like religion, color, caste and u came up with an example of war. So if I follow ur type of democracy ...... do we need to go thro agendas for equal treatment for all castes too ??? What difference is there between issues like caste, religion, color ??? These all come into basic rights for me. In your own example, if secularism can be a remedy of religious violence in India and German, how can it again be the source of chaos in nepalese context ??? I really admire ur crafty writing technique, you picked a word "confused" out of the whole sentence and trying to make myself believe that I am typing all these out of confusion and frustration. Please read it again. "I am not, I am newar and as most of the newar I am confused between two religions. I pactice both, won't deny I may be more lenient towards Buddhism ...... but I celebrate more hindu festivals than buddhist. Don't get me wrong, I am just speaking my conscience." what did you understand out of it ??? Did I mean I am confused of the secularism issue ??? Let me explain in simple language so that you won't pick any words out of it and use against me." Hinduism and Buddhism is like my father and mother, I may have more affetion to one, but I cannot choose one out of them " thats what I meant and above that secularism is not about hinduism and buddhism only, It involves every known and unknown religions, I just believe they should not be represented under others identity. Who do you think is making a fuss here ??? Me ??? Do you think I started the thread ??? It may not be you but A guy who thinks like you started this thread. The decision of secularism has been made, if u were true supporter of secularism, you wouldnot have come up with complains, coz u still have hope if this would have gone thro popular vote, you could have retained hindu status of the country. Silence speaks louder than voice ........ you don't need to cry out loud for me to understand that u favor hinduism, if u were in favor of secularism, you would not have been discussing with me, trying to prove how confused I am. Get out of the box and try to think being Human.
