Not sure if I agree everything mentioned  but .. Some Nice views here ..

But I was sick of reading gahugoro mentioning "don't attack others' culture" again and again. When did you started personalizing National culture as yours and yours' only ?
DUDE ...  its NOT others' culture. Its MY culture as well . Why do you think we should have been so concerned if it wasn't our culture to begin with? Its Nepal's Culture, MY Country's culture, embarrassing culture, hard to defend kind of culture, something like sacrificing Goat to fix airline engine problem culture ...that's the problem.
If it wasn't ours' , we would have probably just laughed around as we do with so many other stupid things from OTHERS' culture.

I do not call for Total abolishment of a certain tradition as each has its own importance within community...but helloooo ... I guess we can atleast do some modifications when the concerns has been being raised for YEARS now all over the world, especially voilating International Laws on National stage.
Ofcourse there are Child labor problems, Girl education problems too and I am sure many many others as well which I may or may not be aware of ... But I am sure they donot get CELEBRATED like this tradition in a national stage, not to mention WITH the help of the Government. Plus, You cannot leave a LAKH rupee Chor in front of your eyes saying that we have someone else to catch first who stole Two Lakhs. You should start from somewhere. Thats how things gotta be done.
Ofcourse, as someone mentioned, I am myself sitting this far away with IT degree and not doing anything directly to fix anything.
But Dudes .. I am at least changing my views and accepting Wrong things are actually Wrong. Thats a Start.. I suggest , you better Start doing the Same cause it will need a Lot of view changings before we stop feeling just jeolous about others' progress and actually start looking for a brighter and better future.
