Heritage

From what I have read recently I conclude that the country like Nepal should make sure that its languages and traditions are cherished and safeguarded for the next generation. In the labyrinth of fast-paced economic growth worldwide, we are stranded and in pursuit to establish ourselves as educated, literate, cultured, socialized and rich. We try to copy the others, emulate their lifestyles, and adopt their culture and traditions. Learning from them their cultures, traditions, languages and lifestyles is not a wrong thing; rather, appreciating them and helping them to protect the vestiges is even more important. But, adopting them and following their foot-steps at the expense of our own cultures and traditions is not wise.

Our cultural heritage has what we can be proud of and take pride in being called the people of the country of Mt. Everest. However, it is not enough for us to make our generations feel proud. We should leave no stone unturned to protect what our fore-fathers have given us as heritage, and transfer it to the next generations. Well, there are people speaking different languages, following different cultures, religions and traditions in our country. Yet, they have lived together for ages in harmony and stood by each other at the time of need. 

What is pertinent now is that we should vow today itself that we shall not shun our responsibility mid-way, but somehow manage to transfer or pass on to the next generation what we have so far had nourished and protected for the generation after generation to see and feel ………………………………………… proud.
