HAHAHA...All of a sudden I see that the social disparity which used to be a positive number has zeroed down and now on the verge of going negative because of the overwhelming awareness of social exclusion among leaders and the people of Nepal. As the adage goes: "Napaune le kera payo bokrai sudda khayo" HAHA.

I think most of these new 'National' holidays are regional holidays in practice(for related people or places) as I don't see the relevance of most of these festivities in parts other than where the respective ethnic groups live/belong to. For instance, I don't think Nanak Memorial Day has any relevance to the people in Himali regions. I believe most of these are just named as 'National' holiday for the sake of equal representation with other main festivities of the country and that they will only be applied to the people/places of respective ethnicities.

Correct me if I am wrong. Last thing I want is to sit idle at home for a festival I don't even know the name of and which has no importance whatsoever in the place I live.
