Maybe it's not wise to post this in my blog, but I have to
clarify this. My tweet has been shared in Mens Room Reloaded (MRR) and Nepali
Adult Jokes creating certain certain discussion series.
I know the lyrics is all about appraisal of King. I know
there are complexities in the word. I understand how the song was kind of
making citizens 'slave' of King, and in no way I mean to say I am in support of
Monarchy.
All I mean through this tweet -
1. I sang this national song for more than 10 years (Nursery
- Grade 9), which has my entire childhood memories. I grew up with this
national song, so I find this song more appealing.
2. The lyrics were respect towards the King - but, at that time,
none of us were against the King, were we? (At least before Former King
Gyandendra's Ku, or let's move further before Royal Palace Massacre) We
all were proud of our king. So the respect to our system then and now is two
different aspects.
3. The lyrics of present National Anthem is good. I mean
seriously good, but still it does not create that feeling of Nationalism within
me. More than this anthem, songs like - Rato Ra Chandra Surya - JangI Nishan....
Or Jaso Gara Je Gara.. They get into my nerves.
These were my personal feelings, and I posted them in my
twitter. That is it. I no way meant that I am supporter of Monarchy. Also, I
didn't indicate that I am against present system. I hate the present politics,
but does not mean that I am against it. Apart, I received hundreds of
supportive comments and other hundreds of criticisms. That was okay, but in
every aspect - I am writing this post to state that I am not part of monarchy
lover or anything as such. Those were simply my personal feelings.
Again, it's our habit to regard something of the past
'better' than our present. It could be that I have been victim of that as well.
