Talk:Nepal

Why do Nepalis think they were always separate from India?

Do any nepali people go to school? I mean if you go back in time there was no India, Nepal, paksitan, it was all part of ancient India. It is the same peo[ple, the same religion, the same languages, the same culture, and yet nepali continue to act like they are always separate from India. Its like, do any of them pick up a map? There is no such thing as a nepali race, just like there is no indan race, its the same freaking people! Its like saying people in Nevada were never part of California? It doesn't make sense...its the same land!....Buddha was not nepali lol...Buddha was froma Hindu family in Ancient INdia.....Hes not indian or neplai I mean what is this!??!?.......THis is what Pakistani people do. They act like they were never paart of India and it makes no sense then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.13.86.182 (talk) 21:38, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Misleading or Incorrect phrase

The lines "Nepal was ruled by the Shah dynasty of kings from 1768, when Prithvi Narayan Shah unified its many small kingdoms" is misleading as the Madhesh region was not exactly "unified" by any of the rulers of within the boundary of the nation presently called NEPAL. Land Transfer aggreement between the East India Company and Nepal needs to be quoted instead.

May 18 proclamation

Look here for starters, [1]. I can see some editing has already been done but we need a unified approach to bring all Nepalese articles up to date, perhaps leaving the ones on the exact power of the King until a final decision is reached. I will start on the army pages. Horses In The Sky ^{talk contributions}

After the May 18 act shouldn't the opening be changed, Nepal is no longer an "official" Hindu kingdom - 2006 democracy movement in Nepal? TallAlex

Wrong bank note!!!

The bank note of 'one Nepalese rupee' is outdated! Doesn't someone have a recent one with King Gyanendra on it?

National animal?

Please confirm the national animal of Nepal. Most refs say "cow":

• Shrestha, Nanda R. (2002). Nepal and Bangladesh: a global studies handbook. ABC-CLIO. p. 163. ISBN 978-1-57607-285-1. Retrieved 1 January 2012. Cow Known as gai in Nepali, it is a national animal of Nepal. ...
• Albala, Ken (25 May 2011). Food Cultures of the World Encyclopedia. ABC-CLIO. p. 187. ISBN 978-0-313-37626-9. Retrieved 1 January 2012. Virtually no one eats beef (cows are the national animal of Nepal, and killing a cow used to be a capital offense).

However, some say "tiger" :

Retrieved 1 January 2012. ... where they are the national animal of India, Malaysia, North Korea, South Korea, Nepal, Bangladesh and China ...nepal is an land luck country and it has huge himalayes

Chalukyas?

It says in the history section that Nepal was influenced by the Chalukya Empire. I find it hard to believe that the Chalukyas (originally from Karnataka and ruling over Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh) could have had any influence on Nepal. I would like to verify this statement.

information

why did the editor deleted this bolded information?

Until the Sugauli Sandhi (treaty) was signed, the territory of Nepal also included Darjeeling, and Tista to the east, Nainital to the south-west and Kumaun, Garwal and Bashahar to the west. However, today these areas are a part of India. As a result, Nepal shares no boundary with Bangladesh now and the two countries are separated by a narrow strip of land about 21 kilometres (13 mi) wide, called the Siliguri Corridor or Chicken's Neck. A huge majority of Nepalese still live there (almost 2 million). Efforts are underway to make this area a free-trade zone.

Edit request on 7 May 2013

I have found two gramitical errors under the section "Government". [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepal#Government ] 1:) The second sentence in the second bullet should have its sixth word, "thee" changed to the word "the". The current sentence is as follows: Constituent assembly is working as thee legislature of Nepal at present. The edited sentence shall be as follows: Constituent assembly is working as the legislature of Nepal at present. 2:) The third sentence in the second bullet should have its first word, "Legislative" changed to the words "The legislature". The current sentence is as follows: Legislative is composed of 601 members. The edited sentence shall be as follows: The legislature is composed of 601 members.

ACTUALLY, LETZ GET TO THE POINT, NEPAL WAS CREATED BY TIKA ADHIKARI..HE'S IN AUSTRALIA RIGHT NOW..HE CFEATED NEPAL AND LEAVE IT FOR SOME REASONS BUT LOOKING AT THOSE FILTHY NEPALESE PEOPLES BEHAVIOUR AND ATTITUDE, HE DECIDE TO TAKE IT DOWN. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pakit.mar (talk • contribs) 11:12, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

GDP figures

An editor has changed it again, but has left the old IMF reference in these edits. The new 2011 figures might be found at the gov't site. Could someone please check and add the new ref? Thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Incorrect census results

The Federation of National Christians of Nepal said that it could prove from church records that there were more than 2.5 million Christians in the country (i.e. approximately 9.3% of the population), but the final report of the 2011 census, which was published towards the end of last year, recorded just 375,699 or 1.4% of the population. The preliminary results of the census, however, which were declared in late September 2011, had put the number of Christians at 2 million. Dr K.B. Rokaya, general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Nepal, said that the enumerators did not visit every house, and when they did, they presumed that anyone with a Hindu name was a Hindu. As a personal example, Dr Rokaya also said:

"When enumerators came to my house, they asked questions about family members but not about our religion. My wife noticed they had already marked us as Hindus."

An accurate percentage of Christians and other non-Hindus in Nepal is very important as the country’s first elected representatives implement reforms.

The fact that these census results are disputed should be noted on the wikipedia entry.123.255.9.39 (talk) 07:33, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello posters and editors of this content. It is Nepali, not Nepalese. Let's be honest to ourselves, we are Nepali. I know it is just a word and doesn't make much difference on the surface level, but it is problematic in a deeper level. I hope all the Nepalese words will be replaced by Nepali as how it should have been in the first place. Many thanks, Nepali.

Both can be used according to this article. I'll mark the request as answered for now, but you are free to continue the discussion and add another request if there is consensus to change to "Nepali". jonkerz ♠talk 12:56, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
