all this talk about a constituent assembly etc.. great.. but isnt the only hindu country of the world supposed to have a king...well i guess the mao's will eventually make us change our religion too...

.Article 19 of the constitution of Nepal 1990.

Right to Religion:

1. Every person shall have the freedom to profess and practise his own religion as handed down to him from ancient times having due regard to traditional practices; provided that no person shall be entitled to convert another person from one religion to another.


2. Every religious denomination shall have the right to maintain its independent existence and for this purpose to manage and protect its religious places and trusts.

And if you guys read the constitution, here is not a single mention of of the word "Hindu". So, why are you guys chirping to make Nepal a secular nation. it already is.

i really dont like idea of keeping nepal as hindu nation . what the hell there is in religion . does naming nepal as hindu nation have helped nepal to be develop. what the use of that . i think new constiuent should make nepal just a loktantreic nepal rather than hindu kinddom .
down with hindu kingdom . i dont find any use of it

Nepal needs to be secular, all this tradition and religious crap is putting the country in the 17th freakin century...

most probably. by the way what is the religion of Maoist??

it is good to have a king like raam and bishnu..but when it come Rawan and Kansha we know how to deal with them..gayane, paras didn't look like bishnu's aavatar and we don't want rakschhase ta rule our country so we did what we need to do..by the way we are not done yet..

The caste system was created to make the system workable in ancient period by the people. Its intension was not to be like what we have in practice today. However the ruler or people in higher status at that time took it as an opportunity to make a trend so that their future family will be holding the higher status even without quality forever. ITs not the originality of Hindu relegion.

Coming to the relegion, not only in 21st century, even in 101st century people will have faith in relegion. If we seriously come to know about the relegion it has nothing harmful, rather its the ancient constitution which makes to keep our society faultless if seriously followed.

Hindu relegion teaches ` Karma nai dharma ho`.

So whats wrong in relegion?

Reading all the comments here from all our dear Nepali brother and sisters, it makes me think that we'll never change, come hell or high water. The recent political situation shows that too.
I think that person who started this thread has a legitimate question and many of you have drifted away from the topic.
Why a Hindu nation? It's not HINDU has problems, no no no...
There's nothing wrong to belong to any religion, but the problem starts when a dominanent religion proclaims the nation as Hindu or Buddhist. It's just a tragedy waiting to happen. Look at any civilization, any history. Do we want to do that? Then what's the point to be educated?
Nepali should not, and never claim as a HINDU nation. Our future generations will suffer with this policy when our country is so diverse. I feel sorry for all other who are not represented in this drama especially Buddhist, Muslims and few Christians. Look at the Middle East, do we really want to be like them?
