Hello everyone!:)
I'm a nepali living in Houston, TX for relatively a while. I
certainly do not want to disclose my name here. Since i have been
part of the Houston Nepalese Association and have attended most of
the events that NAH so far has detained, i have always unearth
confilct between the caste. Although, its a truth that we have
distinguished ourselve into certain caste and groups back in our
country, yet is it necessary that we have to pursue here in foreign
land. Why can't we just be one caste and one group or one family? I
had never or will ever vacillated to attend an event organized by
any caste. Can i expect that from all the nepalese living in houston
area? Can we just be "nepalese" and ignore all the nonsense? I
acknowlegde that we have been raised in that ways, but things do
amend. As i have mention above, i have attended all the extravaganza
in houston, where there has always been only one group for certain
event, for example, when they had jamboree for teej they were all
from one caste, and for the occassion like dashain there were other
different group. Why is this segregation? Why do we houston nepalese
have to play dirty games? Can't we just be one family and chip in
together to make a better community which shares happiness and
sadness al-together?
What i have wrote above is what i have observe throughout the years
in houston. Excuse me intellectuals of houston area, if i have wrote
anything off beam. My underlying principle is nothing more but why
the isolation in one family that we have named as "Nepalese
Association of Houston"?
With regards
HoustonKoNepali
