For Communal Harmony

He is a man who understands national identity is more important

Born to a farmer's family in Dhanusha district, he never dreamt that he would become the head of the state of his country. Firstly, he comes from terai region and is a Madhesi. No one from the terai region has had bigger chance than Doctor Yadav. Thanks to the Maoist because of who this gentleman has become the first president of the country. And look at his nobleness, he wore Nepal's national dress—daura suruwal and took the oath in Nepali language.

His junior, vice president, who is also a Madhesi was dressed in 'dhoti' and took the oath in Hindi language. To Paramananda Jha, his community was more important, but Mr Yadav believed Nepaliness is above his ethnic identity. On Tuesday, when he visited Swoyambhunath temple and Kumari temple, I was assured that this man is trying to bring communal as well as religious harmony.
