Reflects on Nepal's Prosperity as a Hindu Nation
In a recent statement, celebrated actress Manisha Koirala reflected on Nepal's past as a Hindu nation, expressing her sentiments on the matter. Koirala remarked, "Nepal was very prosperous when it was a Hindu Nation. That was our best identity. We were the only Hindu Nation of the world. Why was it removed?"
She further added, "We were a peaceful Hindu Nation. Sometimes I feel, it was all conspiracy."
During Nepal's elections, Koirala actively campaigned for the pro-Hindu Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) with the aim of reinstating Nepal as a Hindu nation.
Koirala's remarks have ignited discussions among the public, with many expressing varying opinions on the topic. While some support her stance and view it as a call to preserve Nepal's cultural and religious heritage, others view it with skepticism, considering the diverse and secular nature of modern Nepal.
The actress's endorsement of the RPP's agenda to reinstate Nepal as a Hindu nation has drawn attention to the political landscape of the country. The RPP, known for its pro-Hindu stance, advocates for the restoration of Nepal's Hindu identity, which was abolished in 2008 when Nepal was declared a secular state.
Koirala's involvement in the political sphere reflects her passion for social causes and her desire to contribute to the betterment of Nepal. As a prominent figure in Nepali cinema, her voice carries weight and influence among the masses.
However, it's important to note that Nepal's transition to a secular state was a result of significant socio-political changes aimed at promoting equality and diversity. While the debate on Nepal's identity continues, it is imperative to respect differing viewpoints and uphold the principles of democracy and secularism.
As Nepal navigates through its political and cultural landscape, the discussions sparked by Manisha Koirala's remarks serve as a reminder of the country's rich heritage and the need for inclusive dialogue on matters of national identity and governance.
