Chana_tarkaari,
"Khas people complain about Newars holding business. In fact, Newars can not and do not stop Khas or anyone joining business. Khas people are not forced to learn Newar language before doing business. So, this complaint has no meaning. All business regulations, investments, tax, accounting etc. are in khas language and khas people have the upper hand in decision making bodies. Why Khas thinks Newars hold the business? Nowadays, Khas businessmen have hold more business than Newar businessmen, and the rhetoric about Newar doing business is no more true in Nepal."
- You are talking about state mechanism and decision making bodies. Let's do the head count at the current situation: President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Head of Army... Now tell me how many of them are your so called "Khas" people (and also look at the current population distribution in Nepal (You can get the data from Central Buraue of Statistics website)? You counter argument may be...in government offices in general. But then as you mentioned..." Newars can not and do not stop Khas or anyone joining business"....Khas people can not and do not stop anyone from passing Lok Sewa exam and joining the govt offices. Also, Khas people can not and do not stop anyone from being a member of the parliament and come up with more inclusive rules and acts. I guess everyone will be happy to chip in with their ideas. I agree with you every language and culture within Nepal has to be respected and preserved. Rather than bashing a group who has a common language, let's have a healthy discussion what more can be done to preserve languages like Nepal Bhasa, Maithali, Awadhi, Bhijpuri, Kirat and many more that are spoken in Nepal. I am glad that your so called Khas language has given a platform to a Maithali speaking from Terai to communicate with a Sherpa in the foot of Mt. Everest, a newar from Kathmandu to exchange ideas with a Tharu from Bardiya.
By the way, I haven't heard Mahabir Pun (from your so called non-khas group) dai complaining about khas people having upper hand in decision making bodies hindering his cyber dreams. I remember govt even changed the rules (lowering the deposit fee to import VSAT from aborad) in order to help his mission and each and every nepali (regardless of their language and culture) is supporting his works in every possible way.
