Bathroomcoffee,
thanks for the sensible reply :-)
1. Nepal’s 1990 Constitution recognizes its multi lingual character but the Supreme Court of Nepal in 1999. prohibited the use of any language other than the official language Nepali Khas . (Source: http://www.safhr.org/No-Nonsense%20Guide.pdf )
2. Yes you are so true, we used this language to be practical, to communicate. And I also agree that people should have RIGHT to speak the language they prefer.
3. ("Indigenous peoples right should not be neglected by the country") and this act of Minister shows that we Indigenous people shouldn't be neglected. This is Ours NEPAL too...
4. We have two language in passport NEPALI and ENGLISH...that means are you carrying BRITISH, AMERICAN or AUS, Canadian Passport( Canada has French and English)...French is also a Official language in Canada).
5. My argument is not about Passport, my argument is, if in some place where more people speaks their own native language more than they speak Nepali...like Maithali, bhojpuri, Rai, Limbu, Gurung , Newari ,......then why that language can't be accepted as a administrative language?? So in Janakupur let Nepali and Maithali, in Kathmandu/Patan/Bhaktapur Newari+ Nepali and so on be the administrative language?
6. Just read what UN Declaration(remember we have signed the treaty :-):. Persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities (hereinafter referred to as persons belonging to minorities) have the right to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practice their own religion, and to use their own language, in private and in public, freely and without interference or any form of discrimination. (Source: http://www.unesco.org/most/lnlaw7.htm).
In conclusion, what Minister did was to draw attention and to protest on behalf of all the minorities indigenous people, he want THEM (Government to listen to us). If we want to create New Nepal, we have to be Progressive, the rigid and orthodox ideas will do no good to anybody. Lets not be ignorant lets join hand in hand to make OUR NEPAL Progress.
