religion, culture, and traditions are the things that sets Nepal apart from rest of the world and creates our unique identify. They are not related or affiliated or entitled to a certain group and certainly not to any political establishment. They belong to all the Nepalese people who observe them and practice them. We know that in many of our Nepalese traditions and rituals, Monarchs--being Hindu Kings--have played vital roles. Now, even with the Monarchy gone, all the culture and traditions should continue to be followed. They set our identities; if we are so keen on forgetting them, might as well one day forget ourselves.

No matter where we live and how successful we become, we should not ever forget our identity. If we do that, we will forget ourselves!
