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.

How do you define the Nepaliness ? in this post you have mention this word and i do not belive only Daura Suruwal is symbol of Nepaliness. We Nepali people have lots of things which show Nepaliness. We have lots of language, culture, ethnicity and so on and all these are Nepalese.
Agreed. But just tell me one thing, what did the Nepali players wear when they represented Nepal at the Beijing Olympics?
Ethnicity is something to be protected, i very much agree but then if that is given so much priority, then in this age of globalization, we will be localized.. and about the president wearing Daura Suruwal, which has been SO FAR, recognized as National dress, i felt good, as he stood above his community, and showed to everyone that he respected what has been described as 'national'... it was my personal feeling that he respected his Nationality, nothing else...
Thank you for your view. My view on it is on the name of Nepaliness we should not eradicate the ethnic identites. In some extent i am agree with you.
