Why Nepal should NOT be secular.

This is a serious blog and not for your amusement. I have been reading about issues in Nepal for a while and today's bbc.co.uk article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5015456.stm) on secularism in Nepal is something all of us should feel strongly about.We must take a stand against secularism in Nepal. It should remain a Hindu theocracy.

For the last forty years, Nepal has officialy been a Hindu kingdom. Around 80% of the populations is Hindu. The remaining 20% is mainly Buddhist with a small Christian minority. Of late, change has been sweeping the tiny mountain kingdom. Notably, monarchy has made way for a multi-party system. Maoist rebels are in peace talks with the government. These transitions have not been smooth. But then there was a parlimentary decision to declare Nepal a secular state. In most countries this is a preferable practice but I feel this should not be so in Nepal. The reason for this can be found in another BBC article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5019288.stm). Why no one else has spotted the disturbing connection, I do not know. The headline for the article was :

'Dead' Everest climber 'is alive'

Thats right, the dead are coming back to life to eat us all. I.e. the himalayas are spawning zombies. Do buddhists burn their dead? No. Do christians? No. They just bury them or leave them lying around. Only hindus burn their dead and scatter the ashes. This is critically important in preventing reanimated corpses from coming back to life, taking our jobs and hitting on our women. Hence Nepal should not become secular. Speak up and let your voice be heard. Say no to the undead.
