I was walking around Tundikhel yesterday, on Saturday. I was surprised to see thousands of Kiratis (Rais, Limbus, Sunars and others) were celebrating their cultural programme.
I honour cultural activities all all ethnic groups of this country. We must preserve them and also try to learn something from them.
Still, I have some comments. I would be more than happy to have opportunity to go to the area of Nepal where they are claiming to make Limbuwan to enjoy their dance. We all know they come to the street with knives and swords and make people admit that it is their land. I know, some of the Newars in Bhojpur were badly treated.
But what are are they doing here in Kathmandu? If they love their land so much they must be working in their state: cultivating, protecting, developing, working hard to make it the most beautiful state of Nepal. They are here only as immigrants and they will be treated so in the future as well. Making of a real Federal Republic of Democracy is possible only when we, all the people from different ethnic bacground honour one another with the basic principle of "live and let others live".
As a matter of fact, most of the intelligent, rich, able and young Kiratis are living in Kathmandu, doing all the things they should not do here.
Kathamndu welcomes all immigrants: it has been the tradition for last 2,000 years. And I believe that it will continue. Still, those people who want to make their state, should now go back to their state and work hard. And let Kathmandu live like another state of the Newars.
