Hindu Vs Secular
- Nepal declared secular as a reaction against the Hindutva brigade's perceived opposition to democracy
- Also, to provide a sense of belonging to all, irrespective of their religion
- But critics say the US and the church were behind the move
- They dub the change from a Hindu state to secular hasty-and needless.
- The detractors fear it could lead to conversion of Hindus and destroy Nepal's religious harmony
- Secularists may show their anger for religion by attacking temples
