Thank you for the article.
Now let's debate about history.
I refuse to take modern Nepali history(Shah reign) documentation on it's face value.During Rana regime ,a "मकैको खेति " could land you in jail,so i don't believe a historian could write/document about any wrongdoing of the state and the players.Same applies to the panchayat era.
Now,most of the present day historians were educated in the 70's .This was the time when Mahendra led "nationalism" was at all time high.One nation,one language,one culture was the mantra.
Hate to say this but in a country like ours,which was a feudal society till a few decades back,history has to be taken with a grain of salt.i will only trust a trained historian who makes a claim backed by ample evidence.
What is your take on this?
