	India & China Stage: Kavitha Dispatch - June 12, 2000
		Hinduism is the major religion of India and Nepal, in fact it's the major religion of Asia as a whole, and yet this religion remains a mystery to most people in the West.
		During these thousands of years Hinduism has evolved into a complex religion full of different practices and different philosophies and each of the hundreds of millions of Hindu followers around the world have a seemingly limitless choice of deities and paths to enlightenment to choose from for their own individual interpretation of Hinduism.
		Contrasting this rather rigid and sometimes petty track of Hinduism, the philosophical groundwork of Hinduism was recorded during the later Vedic period in a series of teachings known as the Upanishads.

		The national calendar of Nepal, Bikram Sambat (B.S.), is a solar Hindu calendar essentially the same to that widespread in North India as a religious calendar, and is based on Vedic principles of time-keeping.

		The caste-based Hindus, 86% of the population, follow a hierarchy of status codified by King Jayasthiti Malla in the 14th century and revised by King Surendra Bikram in 1854.
		The central theme of the caste system in Nepal is based on the concepts of purity and impurity reflecting the rank of a caste in local hierarchy and other walks of life.
		At the same time they are challenging the Hindu, brahmanic model of caste hierarchical structure based on pollution and purity, and blame this model as their root cause of underdevelopment.

		Yet, the Hindu-ness so boldly inserted in the Constitution of Nepal (1990) is elusive at best, for it is impossible to delineate the Hindu character of Nepal, aside from the fact that an overwhelming majority of the population happens to be 'Hindu'—in the loose sense of the term.
		Muslim conquest of northern India undermined the twin pillars of Hindu rule—the role of Kshatriya kingship and Brahmins as advisers to the king.
		If 'Hindu' as an added attribute of the state may have been functional for legitimising the hold of its rulers at some earlier period in history, that very prefix is proving to be dysfunctional today.

		In an event central to Nepal's history, Gyanendra was previously crowned king, in 1950, at the age of three.

		As a Hindu I can safely say that the swastika is a Hindu symbol and has been used for a very, very long time.
		I have seen myself Hindu temples in other Indian states (Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh), in which only red or saffron triangular flags, often charged with letters or a swastika, were placed inside the temple or hoisted over it.
		The most frequently seen flags [in part of Mauritius] are Hindu prayer flags, generally triangular and red, sometimes with white inscriptions and more rarely with a hanuman, which are often flown on little temples in the gardens of private citizens.
