Sidster,

 

Let me tell you where you are confused.

What you are talking about are the “Cultures of Nepal” which all have their own name and history and doesn’t need to be called with a recently invented nomenclature like “Nepali culture”. God know what that NEPALI CULTURE is and where did it come from, its history and origin.

If you cannot understand the difference between these two phrases, then I haven nothing to say. If you see both the phrase having the same meaning you better ask somebody and maybe you can beget a good explanation of the difference.

 

Just introspect within yourself and understand the two words “Cultures of Nepal” and “Nepali Culture’

 

Many on one side want to call Khas-kura as “Nepali” language,  the khas media is full of it. They call the rest of the of languages of Nepal in their respective names Maithali, Tamang, Newari (Nepal Bhasa) Bhojpuri, Tharu, Sherpali  and not call them NEPALI.

Per your assertion NEPALI CULTURE represent all cultures you mentioned then why doesn’t NEPALI language represent all languages of Nepal?

 

If you ever do that then we will have to call Khas-kura as Khas-kura and cannot call it  NEPALI  .GET IT?

 

Let’s be honest to ourselves and call Spade a Spade

 

BTW each culture you named has it own name and history and its cultural identity. Through history they have been well known with their respective name and do not want another Khas bahun to rename it for them. Please do not try to misrepresent these cultures but he word “NEPALI” which is not a culture per se. A new name to whole number of culture and the Khas wants to own it with a new name. Nothing more.  

Just because you have been renaming Khas-Kura to Gorkhali when they reached and ruled over Gorkha, and renamed it again from Gorkhali to NEPALI when they reached and ruled NEPAL.

Had they moved on to say Hunan and ruled over Hunan, would it been called HUNANALI ?

 

Don’t do that. Be honest and simple, and people will respect and befriend you as one deserves, by deed and not by deceit.
