trying to educate my daughter

Nepal, geographically one could easily compare with Switzerland or even better cause she owns the eight highest mountain peaks of the world including the tallest in the world the Mount Everest. The people were always simple and humble and at all times had a smile on there face and that is how the rest of the world knew Nepalese people. Simplicity, honesty and bravery were the main characteristics possessed mostly by all Nepalese. But today in the modern world all those qualities are long forgotten and the leaders of New Nepal are to be blamed. History says it all that from tiny broken bits Nepal was put together as parts of a puzzle to be one unified Nepal by the Late King Prithivi Narayan Shah and his legacy moved on until the unpatriotic leaders signed an agreement with the terrorists who had a full proof plan to completely turn the country to a communist state. Nepal was always known to the rest of the world for its rich culture and heritage and at all times was a tourist destination with tourism being a major foreign currency earning industry. Most of the sites today listed in the world heritage site (cultural) were well preserved. The religious aspect of the country as the only Hindu nation in the world was also maintained and there was peace and harmony in the country. The leaders of modern democratic Nepal always advocated themselves as the only patriotic people and called all other regimes traitors, which is very untrue and controversial cause today they themselves stand in the same position they accused others to be. Well, it is true that there were times during the Shah rule where some powers played a major role in ruling the country and to mention one such power were the “Ranas” who only thought and promoted their own fellow brothers and were and are a black patch in the political history of Nepal. Followed by them came the “Panchas”, who were followed by the political parties in the “Multi party democratic system” and finally the terrorists themselves who abolished the Monarchy and are ruling the country under a jungle rule where the principal theory is survival of the fittest. The Ranas were only interested in living a luxurious life and tried to imitate the western lifestyle and pushed the country behind trying to pull themselves forward. After hundred and four years of monopoly rule of the Ranas a change took place where the king took power in his own hands and introduced the Panchayat system. This system lasted for thirty years and yes there was corruption in the system but a lot of progressive works were also done during this period and preservation of culture and heritage was also maintained. The corruption crossed all limits during the rule after the Panchas when the power and money hungry leaders of the multi party democratic system took over and their rule came into effect and now the jungle rule of the Maoists or as you may say the communist rule has broken all boundaries of corruption and are destroying everything that Nepal ever had. National dress code is lost, festivals are being forgotten, they do not care about the cultural values of the people, religion means nothing to them cause they are atheists and one by one we are loosing our national identity.

Being a Nepali myself and thinking about my country I got kind of carried away a bit too much and would like to get off the subject and talk about the personal problems and issues. I am trying to educate my three year old daughter about her culture, religion and heritage and am finding it tough cause what I tell her is all lost in my country and they are things only seen in old pictures. I try to tell her how we lived in Nepal, how we celebrated festivals like Dashai and Tihar, about the rich Nepalese deep rooted culture and heritage and while doing that in the back of my mind I have a sub consciousness asking me, are you speaking the truth or are you lying to your daughter, cause the Nepal I am describing to my daughter is totally different today. I try to tell the “daura surawal” is our national dress but all the leaders are today seen in business suite, have even given up the “Dhaka topi” and have embraced the neck-tie. Recently, I saw a picture of the Nepali Prime Minister, Prachanda with the Indian President who was all dressed up in a traditional Indian costume and the Nepali guy didn’t look Nepali. They have mostly been heard saying “jay maobadi” and is Mao a Nepali? Definitely not and these traitors are thankful to a foreigner for their existence and are proud to have a foreigner as their mentor and ideology. The Nepali Congress were called Indian agents cause they believed and idolized the politics of India but as a matter of fact they were inspired by the person who was known all over the world for his non-violence.

So, what do we call the Maoists the ones who have terrorized the nation for over a decade, the ones who have given up the national dress code, the ones who do not believe in the culture and the religion of the nation and the ones who are in the path of destroying the country completely. Find yourself a word that suites these traitors.
