Seems like people nepalese are getting too liberal and overly educated while Nepal remains the still a third world .. Anyways , personally i haven't touched any of the kumari's feet and i don't think i would do that either.But who are we to challege the faith of millions .If it is so ill practice then it will go away .Personally i think , these kind of culture are unique and that what is ours and infact it is not as cruel practice like sati as some are trying to potray and defame the culture.Yes, modernization and progressive thinking are required but don't jump too much when there is no one to hold you you will fall on the face. Also, Now muslims and christians circumcize the male babies , isn't that abuse (in the defination of over intellectuals) Ali ali america ko hawa k lage ko thiyo keta keti haru Animals rights ra ke ke abuse re and ye yo bhandai ufrana thali sake, jaha din dinai humans are slughtered ..these people talk big Mokshya..If you think you were abused by your parents then go and give a tight slap on your parents face ok..Abused re oh well ..when we don't have human rights in nepal these people will come and talk about animal right ..so long folks..you guys are too advanced for me Eat only what you can digest!
