Watch Documentary prepared on Royal Massacre of Nepal on which Crown Prince Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah killed all members of Royal Family.The black day after which our Country Nepal and people of the country never live a single day with peaceful mind because of Political instability among the political parties of Nepal.This was when Nepal’s political class decided it was time to jettison the overt religious identity of the state. There was a clear twofold trigger.
The first was the connection between the monarchy and the Hindu state. The two almost seemed inextricably linked and given the republican upsurge in the country, there was widespread public sanction to do away with the symbols of the old regime.
The second was an even more powerful argument. Nepal, contrary to myths peddled about its homogeneous Hindu character, was and is an extraordinarily diverse society. It has ethnic and religious minorities. Many janjatis, hill tribes, do not identify themselves as Hindus and a clear association of the state with a particular religion was not in tune with the aspiration to create a truly republican and democratic order which would respect minorities and treat citizens equally.
And so, Nepal has remained in this transitional secular state for eight years.Nepali leaders did not take up the job of explaining the idea of secularism to citizens well. Unlike Nehru in India – who spoke about secularism at mass meetings, in his letters to chief ministers and in Parliament – Nepal’s political elite went missing in action after introducing the concept. And this left room for doubts, misconceptions, and a lot of conceptual ambiguity.
