Namaste: One Teen's Look at Nepal

Every year The Goldman Sachs Foundation and Asia Society recognize US high school students that demonstrate in-depth understanding of key issues in international affairs. Sarah from Westlake Village, CA is one of the 2008 winners of a $10,000 scholarship. She created a video comparing her life and those of her peers with people she met in Nepal, finding different definitions of necessity, wealth, and happiness. Sarahs video included footage she shot while in Nepal with a media team documenting human rights issues and the recent historic elections. While there, she filmed an interview with the rebel leader at the time, Prachanda, who has since become the Prime Minister of Nepal. Sarah has also completed video projects for her local symphony orchestra and continues to follow the evolving political situation in Nepal.

@diliprai please brother you are the most confused person I have ever met..I am sorry I said some bad stuff BUT brother to unify a country and people you gotta get past these GROUP ETHNIC mentality and so on..I have watched all the videos you have recommended.I liked them, they make a lot of sense YET Im still NEPALI FIRST.I am a strong supporter of banning the caste system in Nepal, You are a good person, you need better guidance, our generation should be the one to eliminate caste system.

[diliprai]

@gorkhalidai1 my friend it's no use shouting without reason or justification.

plz watch this video first ---> Born Polluted - Nepal

i am not even kirati in the first place. i am from dalit community. but i convert to kiratism. that's where i found peace. i am glad that i embraced kirati religion whom lord shiva was from. i am glad that kiratism do not discriminate my people. so plz watch the video and what do you think?

[gorkhalidai1]

@diliprai kukkuur ko puchhar barah basrsa dhungro ma rakhe pani bango huncha bhane aaja true bhayo ta jasto bhusiya haru le hamro kirat jaat lai kalank garchhas......your poor backward racists mentality will always do more harm not good bujhis........people like you are the reason why i love my job as a soldier...it will feel good to for me if we meet....i will give you such a beating because you are ruining our kirat bansa. mati ko kasam talai bhete bhane chhadina, yo gurung ko kasam...randi

[gorkhalidai1]

@diliprai and why did our kirat leaders fail in the first place? can you answer me. why are you so hung up in the past brother? why? if you hate other Nepali brothers and sisters who are not of Kirat origin then you are looking for BLOODSHED and civil war, you think other ethnic races will sit quietly when you disrespect them? Nepal was a developing asian country until king Birendra gave power to the people , thats when nepal started to decline, corruption from everyone, dont just blame others

[gorkhalidai1]

@diliprai hera bro.what is your solution ? Nepal has 80% hard lined devoted Hindu who also practice Buddhism...LIKE ME..its been centuries and centuries of history culture and tradition.it was the pride of Nepal how all the different races co existed together...its true some were unfair but what is your solution? ke entire population lai force garera dictatorship garne?because I know for sure you cannot change the majority, its too late bro, why cant you say we are all NEPALI noone is upper cast

[diliprai]

@gorkhalidai1 you said "Kiratas are the most friendliest yet bravest Nepalese". I agree with you on this because this is all due to Kirati culture and religion.

watch this documentary ---> KIRATISM: The Ten Kirat Commandments "Mati ko Kasam" (Promise of the Land)

Kirati religion call Kiratism is the original religion of Nepal. It is so basics and simple and it teaches about being humble and how to live life. Nepalese must explore Kiratism and stay away from Hinduism and Christianity.

@gorkhalidai1 today it is not proud to be nepali. this video is the living proof. just look the state of nepal today. who to blame?? answer blame hindu rulers and his administration. except kirat, all other rulers(licchavis+thakuri+malla­+rana+shah) were hindus. so you see nepal legal and Constitution law was based on the hindu doctrines and ideology. all these hindu rulers did not have vision to develop nepal. these hindu rulers only care to maintain good relationship with india.
