Bhai ji,

Ragat umline gari tatnu parne jaruri chaina, tesle health lai thik gardaina. Everything is changing for good, though changes in some quarter are faster than others.

Ambrosia,
It is good to know that your family/relative circle is welcoming to different caste jwai/buhari. Even in my relative circle, majority of whom are upadhaya bahaus, some have already welcomed newar/gurung/and like caste jwais and buhari. But, i can remember an instance when the son married a sarki girl [sarki, damai, kami are not deragotory words as i use them], and the family has not yet openly accepted her as daughter-in-law. Interestingly, mother of the husband buy things for her grandchild and meet him as often as she can, though, stealthy. So, the slowest improvements i can see are with inter-caste relationships between bahun/chettris and so called untouchables. I am sure anyone in my family/relatives who is choosing to marry a different caste boy/girl may face some trouble for the short term, but they will be alright after a while. I was just curious, would your relatives be welcoming to dalit jwai/buhari in their home, Ambrosia??, i mean regardless of his/her education/economic background.
