Declare Nepal a Hindu State!!!

The Hindu religious leaders of India and Nepal were very much displeased with the decision of the Nepalese Parliament of May 18, which formally invalidated the epithet of Hindu Kingdom. Earlier, Nepal used to be the only Hindu state in the world.

After the declaration of the Parliament the only Hindu Kingdom Nepal now has changed into a secular country. However, after 7 months the Hindu leaders have demanded Nepal be declared a Hindu State and its constitutional monarchy restored at the Vishwa Hindu Mahasammelan (VHM) at Gorakhpur on Saturday according to the Hindustan Times.

Sants (or sadhus) should take initiative to establish Hinduism in Nepal according to the religious leaders. They also criticized the Indian Government stand on Nepal and blamed no Indian political party was taking Maoists' activities seriously.

According to the Hindustan Times, Shankaracharya of Goverdhan Peeth, Puri Swami Nishchalanand Saraswati said the saints would have to work to control the religious and political system in Nepal. He said, "Today we should take vow to work till Hindu Kingdom status is restored in Nepal".

Nischalanand further pointed out, "As the political system failed to protect Hinduism in Nepal, it was the duty of saints to provide guidance to the citizens of Nepal. We are not against formation of democratic government in Nepal; still Constitutional Monarchy could be restored as is the practice in several Christian, Islamic and Buddhist countries”.

Over 500 delegates from Nepal are taking part in the VHM. They drew the attention of the 'Dharmacharyas' towards the pathetic condition of the Hindus in Nepal. They said ISI of Pakistan was spreading its network in Nepal to create disturbance in India, according to the report.

The Hindu discontentment at this point of time seems not very much alarming to bring a substantial turmoil in Nepal. But we have seen the past experience of Pakistan and the Taleban movement in Afghanistan. Therefore the political parties of Nepal must learn lessons from them.

Gorakhpur declaration is of very seriously. More than 80% of the people of Nepal are the Hindus. If the Hindus start feeling discriminated and marginalized naturally rise of the Hindu nationalism will sweep away tiny Nepal.
