#Nepal #LanguageRights
In a recent development, the Gurung and Magar communities in the Gandaki region have achieved a significant victory regarding the mandatory use of the Nepali language in government work. This change allows them the freedom to use their own languages in official capacities.
The move to lift the restriction on solely using the Nepali language in government affairs marks a positive step towards linguistic diversity and inclusion. This decision not only acknowledges the cultural richness of the Gurung and Magar communities but also promotes a more inclusive and representative government system.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his support for this decision, stating that it is a crucial milestone in recognizing and respecting the linguistic rights of all ethnic groups in Nepal. He emphasized the importance of preserving and promoting the diverse languages and cultures that contribute to the country’s unique identity.
