On tarai

This is in reference to the article, "On cricket, tarai and India" by Arun Gupto (Mar 9). Indeed it is not because of our close tie with India we act differently and do not want to see "dhotis" or feel ashamed when we speak with them, it is because we are egoistic. It cannot be changed easily.

However, it is the people of both sides who miss or forget courtesy. It will take time to see a secular, multicultural Nepal. The treatment Nepalis living in India get is the same as Indians living in the tarai get. It is because our mind does not allow us to think broadly.
