Hari Khatiwada

 Kathmandu. There is a proverb in Nepali, "While trying to pick the ground, the pole fell." Yes, we are walking on the same path. Other countries modify their culture and taste their own to the world, while we forget our own identity and feel rich and rich to imitate others. Foreign tourists come to Nepal to feel the difference of our culture, while we show our teeth and wear London powder and brag that it is indigenous organic rice and corn flour. And we forget, We forget that the tourist, whose name we only heard, came to Nepal after visiting London.

I will also go to Shasurali as a son-in-law, wearing a coat and pants with a bald head. Yes, maybe my mother-in-law wears Daurashuruwal or rubs it on the coat pants of her son-in-law, but if she were to wear Daurashuruwal in front of my son-in-law, I would have beaten his expensive coat. Because my son-in-law does not know the importance and cost of Daurashuruwal. This is a representative example of a costume.

Even in eating, we have forgotten our identity. At that time, my grandfather used to do the work of three people by himself while kneading corn bread and curd, but today I am working to water the field with mixed noodles. Hare! My diet, my plight. If we don't add spices to our food, the taste of corn flour cooked in a fire grill is better than that of a pizza burger. What's more, we have started using our language less. We are teaching the words "mother" to foreigners as well as in Nepali language to say "mother" to mother. Similarly, in the act of marriage, we are forgetting our reality.

Today, the foreign country is not even a Gulf country, the boy who went to the European country is looking for a husband for his daughter. Every tax and service charge is paid less than the salary of the government employee here, and the native is becoming a man. When we use foreign things in every thing, our things are becoming a cocktail. Which taste, which color, which identity? All of our things are not only our identity but are dependent on multifaceted things. Like Mount Everest, it is not only our identity but also the basis of pride, bringing in foreigners, providing employment, and earning foreign currency. So is our language, culture. , dress, lifestyle, festivals are identity for us.

It has become imperative for us to preserve our identity even for future generations. By being aware of ourselves, formulating a solid program from the government and strictly implementing it can be a strong pillar to protect our own identity. Jai! Country. Jai!
