Brother Kuhire, the answer is very simple. they were peticoat because it's a tradition. I'was born and raised in valley and believe me sometime like 15-20 yrs back you could easily find women wearing peticoat and not other sorts of underwear within the kathmandu valley itself and u don't even had to go to the villages to know that..........it's simple that women wear fariya and saree which are in some cases are transparent too and for better covering they feel that peticoat is the best choice.

with the time-span and better hygiene information, nowadays women do wear other kinds of underwear. It's just a matter of time that allows a tradition to mould on its own.

I don't know why ppl are overexaggerating over such a simple matter.

abt nepalese being sexually inactive, i believe it happened just in a way of making the society more well-mannered. By that i mean that ppl want to have control over their children's life until they are grown enough to understand sex.........they don't want teenage pregnancy like in US and cause social humiliation. Otherwise the societies before in Valley are very well depicted in the arts of the temples and museums if u didn't miss that out. You can see sex symbols and ppl in sexual acts carved all over the temples..........i guess that's an obvious way to percieve the sexually active society.

Kuhire is fooling everyone here. Can't you figure out from his English? He is trying to write gramatically correct but totally OFF from the American style of writing.

Good job keep it up. U ain't doin nothin wrong but fun.

Some of you have responded honestly while others have responded with their typical Nepali mentality and I have nothing against them. I am only expressing my opinions. I am sorry if that hurt your feeling.

syanjali did you figure out that you're too stupid to find your own posting?  Go to page 1 to see it if you are so dumb to have missed it.

snowfed, it's good to know that some people can take criticism

yep, i can. BUT do u ever regret what your forefathers did to blacks, chinese and mexicans? man, if i were u, i would first apologize to them and worry about declining population of GRINGOS like u. you are becoming minority.  i would first worry and fret about myself than go on making comments on others way of life.

this bimbo went to Pashupati ,saw some aghories and came to conclusion that Nepali men wear things like thong. she didn't think maybe those people do not represent the Nepali male in general. what a waste of all those education and study abroad money spent on her , that they didn't even make her humble ,sure it must have given her a degree but it surely didn't make her educated.

next thing she's gonna ask is if we eat human flesh?this is the height of stupidity...this is how racism is practiced now a days. they ask you offending and degrading questions but they act like they're ignorant. like do you take shower? have you seen cars before? do you know how to eat with fork? === new ways of practicing racims under the umbrella of ignorance.
