Hindi lover Nepalese people !

[THT Online]

Dear All,

Before I comment on the language of oath taking in by VP, I would like
to point out something here:

1) May be 60 % of Nepalese cinema halls show Hindi films in Nepal.
2) May be 80 % of Nepalese FM stations play Hindi songs.
3) May be 80 % of goods comes to Nepal only from the Hindi speaking
country
4) May be 90 % of Nepalese Dance & Gajal restaurants play Hindi songs
only, and
   Nepalese customers love them very much.
5) May be 50 % of Nepalese house-wives watch Hindi TV serials only.
6) May be 70 % of Nepalese people understand Hindi without learning at
school
7) May be 40 % Nepalese youth know more about Hindi actors & films
than Nepalese ones.
8) May be 40 % Nepalese intelectuals read Hindi news-papers, novels
and books
9) Govt & Private TV channels of Nepal showing Hindi movies regularly.
10) The official scripts of Nepal (Devnagari) is the same script that
used for writing
     Hindi language
    (in-fact there are many other original scripts in Nepal but not
recognized by the state)
11) Hindi Musical program INDIAN IDOL was a super hit program in Nepal
some months
     back whereas very few people knew about the similar program
NEPAL TARA of Nepal.

Now let us think how many of NEPALESE people love HINDI language, or
is only the VP Mr Jhaa Hindi lover ?

12) How many patriots wear daura suruwal and how many corrupted
persons wear them. More
     over Daura Suruwal may be the dress of the Pahade people but
Himalayan people wear
     Bakkhu, Terai people wear Kurta, Tharus wear Kachhads and so
on.

13) When Keshav Sthapit made Newa language an official language in
KMC, some people
     opposed it and Supreme Court barred to use the Newa in very Newa
land Kathmandu
     some years back. Maithili languages were banned in Maithili land
(Dhanusa & Raj Biraj)
     at the same time.

14) Limbu language was banned to speak at telephone booths in Eastern
part of Nepal at
     the time of people's war.

15) KHAS language films got TAX REBATE but NEWA language film SHILU
did not get
     this previlage that time. They never think Newar and other
ethnic groups' language as
     NEPALI. The word NEPALI should not be utilized for KHAS & PAHADE
only.

So, now let us love all language of Nepal. Let us love all the dresses
of Nepal. Let us feel all of us are Nepalese and all the ethnic people
and their language, culture, festivals, etc as Nepalese.

Thank you.
