Happy news for Nepal
With enormous joy and relief, Kopila writes: It was the happiest moment 
we ever felt: 20th Sep 2015, the day our Constitution was declared. The Government declared national holiday and radio and TV stations announced the time for celebration in the middle of our town Jhapa Eastern Nepal. I was happy on that day but I want to be together with my Bahini Haru. Nepali people have been waiting for 65 years for this historical day: our Federal, republic constitution.Even though 37 Madeshi terai politicians didn't sign the constitution, the
majority of the Parties (537!) agreed with the constitution. We were happy that the parties (eventually!) did their job. There had been so many delays and hold ups and obstacles and we wondered if it would ever happen. Now we have a little bit of hope for our better life. We may not see the changes in our lifetime but our coming generation could get it.We all were in our office sitting and wanted to hear that all Nepalese celebrated it but Terai half of the Madeshi Nepali blacked out that Day. We really don't want to hear any violence at all. Initially, we decided not to participate in the Rally and Candle light but slowly as time past and people started to cheer we couldn't stopped ourself and we all went.
Thousand of people were singing and dancing.We all were congratulating each other; it didn't matter that we have never met before. I was taking the photos and my eyes were full of tears. At one point I felt shy and looked around to see whether people were looking at me.But it was not just me.Many people were crying with happiness at this moment. Poor people in the Terai where they oppose the Constitution have suffered under Bandha (strike) for 40 days. I want my friends and fellow Nepalis in Terai region to know that the solution is not strikes and violent protests. We all want peace and happiness. If anything or any rights are not included we have many ways to keep our united voice heard, so let's not divide humanity into races, caste and religion.
