Dear methodist, in your comments on ' We Kirati abhor corruption' you have offered 10 lacs to Kirati to see whether he accepts or not ? I want to tell you one thing since you are in L.A. Even if this amount you offer to any American and see whether they accept it or not ? In this world who will not accept the easy money that is "Ghoos". In fact , we oftenly talk about our weaknesses, but some time we should also visualise our positive things also. And same thing has been trying to project. If you deeply think about our own Kirati race, you yourself realise that yes in comparision to other people of the world , we are, in general, abhor corruption. It is not in kirati's blood. Some exception may be there, but as a whole yes we are the best.
regards.

Thank you Premrainiji, I really appreciate your views. I have expressed my view not to discoursge anybody.
Good things and context will not always encoursge us. sometime it can indulge ourself in the thickess of obdurate bahavior. So I just want to alert that we are having some glitches in our society, people and culture which we should take care of, not hide them and show our good things only. It is not to discourage anyone but to ask to be crtical towards ones deeds.

To Methodist....
You must not imagine and tell you opinion. But you must look at and tell the truth and reality what is happening in Nepal since 6 decades.
All Nepal high national crimes and corruption committed by either Bahuns or Chettris people who work in Government offices or private sector business.
Their national crimes and corruption is in highest rate 97%.
Their national crimes and corruption includes

(4) Selling authentic Nepali citizenship and passports
(5) Crimes and corruption in national development projects

though i have raised very harsed words against bahuns..cheetris ..i will never vow or support any kind of voilence in the name of justice. here i spoke up all this just to let know some of our folks who dont know much abt our past ...
i do have many bahun frends who helped ma without any motive and are always ready to help me...and i dont blame all are same everywhere. but mostly they are ...they stll have that feeling somewhere inside them.
yes premraine ji...we have to forgive them but it doesnt means that we have to give up...or surrender ..no matter how much educated we are ..but they kept our many generation in the darkness...which is i think is not formidable....
lets not argue too much ..lets try to seek the brightest side of our community and fight for our right ...

Kirati are too much Democratic, Loyal and Soft that other race like Bahuns, Chettirs and Newar take ADVANTAGES from our Weakness.
That's way we kirati easily and quick manipulated, driven, they make us fail and behind, isolate and thry rule us.
We have to wake up quickly and think deeply and understand this fact and reality.... before its too late.

Stereotyping is usually based on reality,at least to some extent(e.g. although not all kirats are alcoholics or abuse alcohol,nevertheless use of alcohol was more prevalent among kirats compared to non-kirats when the stereotyping was created).And we must not forget the context either.The positive attributes I mentioned are not true in absolute sense and does not apply to every single Kirat at all times and in all situations.What I meant was generally speaking compared to non-kirats,Kirats possess those characterstics.Of course there will be variation even among individual kirats.
Talking about stereotyping,we should ideally have got rid of it.But do we live in an ideal world?
I would not disagree that even positive stereotyping can be misleading with negative consequences,but it is less harmful than negative stereotyping.
To Kiratji,if we only keep talking about our weaknesses we will demoralise our already backward folks.we have to be critical,and that involves being unbiased and neutral i.e.giving both negatives and positives honestly.
To Tagera ji,let us be forgiving.

Its good to hear positive comments but Premraine sometimes positive stereotyping can be just as bad as negative stereotyping.
On line 7 you said "We abhor corruption",so i guess if i gave any Kirati's 10 Lakhs
as bribe or "ghoos" then most kiratis will reject it?? i will laugh to that.
Kiratis can be just as good and bad as any other race.

these are the reason why those cunning bahuns betrayed us. marginalised us. used us. misused us. graded us as second class citizen in our own land. which resulted ....the age of darkness for the kirati people.

I agree that we have lots of good feature in us , our culture and society. But as a saying "One rotton potato is enough to rot the whole sack" ,one bad deed from our people can drestically change others view towards towards us, when they don't know anything about us.....
