मैले धेरै याद गर्न खोजे, न हजुरआमाले रङ्गोली बनाएको याद आयो, न आमाले बनाएको नै याद आयो, बिगत केहि बर्ष देखि, जता ततै रङ्गोली बनाएको देख्न थाले, मेरो सम्झनाशक्ती नाश भएको हो कि साँच्चैमा रङ्गोली आयातित सँस्कृती हो?

यदी रङ्गोली आयतित सँस्कृती हो भने, त्यो भन्दा पहिले पहाडे बाहुन क्षेत्री समुदायले लक्ष्मी पुजा कसरी गर्थे, याद भएकाले लेखेर जवाफ दिएमा म धन्य हुने थिए।

र अन्त्यमा देश बिदेशमा रहेका सम्पुर्ण ज्ञात अज्ञात नेपालीहरुमा तिहारको मङ्गलमय शुभकामना दिन चाहन्छु :)

now a days every country is scared of losing their indigenous identity.

What is Cultural Invasion?


Cultural invasion is the invasion of the enemy on any nation with various means and methods in order to destroy its internal strength and its morals. The difference between cultural invasion and military invasion is that military invasion takes place in order to conquer and defeat [the people and the country] and achieve military objectives against the will of the people, whereas the purpose of cultural invasion is to brainwash the people ( read: magorkhe1, nepalilaure, BathroomCoffee, GHORLEKABO, ) so that they would become followers of the invader.

These things also bother me. I am not against any culture. If I were in Saudi Arab I would have definitely celebrate Eid.
Since I live in US I do celebrate my way (Nepali style) Christmas and Thanks Giving.
Since last decade Nepalese culture has changed dramatically in Nepal. Nepalese especially ‘Pahadis’ have adopted ‘Madhesi’ and Indian cultures. But I don’t see other way around.
I am from Terai. My Teraian friends ‘Madhesis’ don’t celebrate Nepal’s biggest festival ‘Dashain’, they do, but as ‘Dasahara’. They don’t put Ratotika, no Khasi ko masu……etc.
Madhesi group also don’t do ‘Bhai Tika’ but our ‘Pahadi’ groups do ‘Rakhi’ Now it spread from Terai to Kathmandu.
Now Kathmanduties celebrate ‘Chaat’. ‘Chaat’ was not known in Ktm little more than a decade ago, same thing to ‘Bole Bom’.
The point is why we changing our own (distinct) culture to Indian culture. Can’t we celebrate ‘Mah’ puja (Newari) and other ethnic groups Rai, Limbu, Gurung’s culture and festivals instead?
