In Danger The Identity of The Indigenous People

Everybody loves their own ethnicity, culture and language. So do I. I am Rai which is one of Kirat communities and my religion is Kirati. I feel so proud when I read the history of the Kirat dynasty. There were 32 Kings in Kirat dynasty who had ruled the country for around 1225 years from pre-historic to historic period. Whereas, if we make the count of Shah dynasty, there were only 13 kings adding Dipendra and Gyanendra who ruled very short time in our country.

The Kirat people include Rai, Limbu, Sunuwar and Yakkha. Each of them has their different culture, language and attires. They are also indigenous tribes of Nepal. Among them, I belong to Rai ethnicity. In Rai, there are 32 subdivisions and 28 languages. My division is Chamling. I have different language from others. But it´s very sad to say that I don´t know much about my language.

Likewise, all the languages of indigenous people are in danger of disappearing. The government of Nepal has been run by one tribe of people since long time. The indigenous people have been used by them for their vested benefit. They have not been giving required importance to preserve the cultures, languages and identities of us. In this way, we have been losing everything from generations to generations. One day, we are compelled to forget who we are actually.

For writing this, I am motivated by the news of giving 12 lacks to celebrate Tamu Lhoshar by the government. Today is the greatest festival of Gurung community which is one of indigenous tribes of Nepal. Every year, Gurung people celebrate Tamu Lhoshar with their own money at Tudikhel Kathmandu. This year, the Prime minister of Nepal Prachand was invited as the cheap guest for that cause. While addressing the Lhosar, he has announced this amount for Gurung community to observe Lhosar. I felt so happy listening this news. Personally, I would like to thank Prachanda for this initiative.

After reading this blog, people can judge me as a racist. But I don´t mean to say that only the indigenous tribes should be given priorities. As a citizen of Nepal, the government has to treat equally and should give equal opportunities everywhere. The responsibilities of the government are to preserve culture, language and identities of indigenous people. Then only the dream of making developed nation would be possible.

Yep, I Got Promoted Today!

Yep, I Got Promoted Today! आफ्नो कर्ममा विश्वास गर्छु। कसैको नराम्रो सोच्दिन। सबैजना खुशी भएर बाँच्नुपर्छ भनेर सोच्छु। मैले कसैलाई सत्रु ठानेको पनि छैन। सत्रु बनउँन लायक काम पनि गरेको छैन। मेरो Principle भनेको Do no harm, take no shit हो। जे होस्, मेरो मेहनत, ट्यालेण्ट्स, ईमान्दारिता र स्किल्सको कदर हुँदा खुशी लागेको छ। मलाई थाहा छ, म एउटा खुट्किलो मात्रै चढेको हो, ६ महिनाको सुरुवातीमा। अझै शीखरको यात्रा तय गर्न टाढै छ। तर मलाई यति थाहा छ, यी चालिसकेको पाईलाहरु शीखर नपुगी कुनै हालतमा थाक्ने छैनन्। आपा-आमा, हजुरहरूप्रति म सँधै कृतज्ञ छु। किनभने, म आज जहाँ छु, तपाईंहरुकै आशिर्वादले छु। तपाईंहरु भौतिक रुपमा साथमा नभएपनि, सँधै राम्रो काम गरेर, हजुरहरुको आत्मलाई शान्ति दिने मेरो अन्तर्मनको चाहना छ। अन्त्यमा, Sticks n Sushi लाई र मेरो Head Chef दुबैलाई भूँईसोरी धन्यवाद दिन चाहान्छु। I won’t let down guys. यो मेरो खुशीको पललाई अझै खुशी थप्न, आफूले आफैलाई IPhone 15 Pro गीफ्ट गर्ने पनि घोषणा गर्दछु। किनभने, संसारमा सबैभन्दा ठुलो कुरा भनेको Self Happiness रहेछ। Thank you ALL!

Unsafe Nepalease Sky

Cpt. Paras Kumar Rai So shattered by the news of plane crash at Lukla Tenzing Hilary airport in Solukhumbu. In which plane crash, pilot Paras Rai and co-pilot Srijan Manandhar of Goma Air cost their lives and air hostess Pragya Maharjan was injured to death. My heartfelt condolences go to Cpt Paras Rai and co-pilot Srijan Manandhar and pray for the rapid recovery of Pragya Maharjan. Co-Pilot Shrijan Manandhar Every year, we have been losing couples skillful pilots by buying the second handed planes and helicopters from the European countries. Not only we lose the pilots but also we lose the crews of the plane s and helicopters and its boarded passengers. Many surveys have shown that the sky of Nepal is not safe for the flight. But the government has not made any concrete plan for it yet. Air Hostess Pragya Maharjan It's very expensive to study the pilot course for the students who want to do it. For this, we need to go abroad because we don´t have this
