REENA NEPALI from THE NETHERLANDS wrote:
It is a proud and great news for people who believe and respect to Buddhism and Nepali people too that symbol of Peace "Buddha" statue is going to erect in the International Court of Justice(The Hague, The Netherlands)which will convey message that creator of Buddhism was born in Nepal.
I recently watched one document (Natural World Himalayas: BBC;
website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWtE4jT5c7o). In this document, the narrator was explaining "Buddhism was born in other side of Himalaya overlooking India". He seems afraid to give the true information to the world by not mentioning Buddhism started from Nepal.

We hope after this installation of Buddha idol in ICJ would clear the misguiding information from the whole world.
In response to the story: Buddha idol to be placed at ICJ

Question of the Week

Over 58 per cent students failed to clear the SLC examinations this year. Everyone is talking about the success, and no one seems to think about those who failed. While the majority of students who failed the exam will be deprived of higher education this year, what do you think should be done to secure the future of such students? And what do you think is the reason behind the declining pass percentage in the last few years?

Poll

Do you think the dissenting parties should hold talks with the government to resolve their differences over CA elections?
