OUR PRIDE

The New Zealander Sir
Edmund
Tenzing
Hillary
Norgay
and
Sherpa
climber reached the summit
at 11:30 am local time on
29 May 1953 via the South
Col Route. At the time,
both acknowledged it as a
team effort by the whole
expedition. They were the
first climbers to reach the
summit of Mount Everest.
Reason behind naming Gorkhali ????????
The Gurkhas are soldiers from Nepal who are recruited into
the British Army(British regiment) and Indian Army(Gurkha
regiment), and have been for the last 200 years. Gurkhas are
known to be as fearless in combat as they are good natured in
daily life. To this day, they remain renowned for their loyalty,
professionalism and bravery across the world.
Gurkhas are traditionally recruited from the hill people of
Nepal, who trace their roots right back to an 8th century
Hindu warrior, Guru Gorakhnath. They first encountered the
British in 1814, when the British East India Company fought
against them during the Anglo-Nepalese War.
•In the Anglo-Nepalese War (Gurkha War, 1814-16), the British
East India Company (EIC) lost several battles against Nepalese
Gurkhas before finally securing victory in a hard-fought
campaign.
•Although the war went badly for the British in the various
stages, in the end by considering the fact of being unable to
defeat Nepalese, became compelled to terminate war into peace
in the term of Treaty of Sugauli in 1816. Since then British
couldn’t dare to attack against Nepalese and as a result Nepal is
designated as one of the ever sovereign and independent
countries across the world.

Histororical Background of Nepal
The earliest inhabitants of modern Nepal and adjoining areas
are believed to be people from the Indus Valley civilization. By
4000 BCE, the Tibeto-Burmese people had reached Nepal either
directly across the Himalayas from Tibet or via Myanmar and
north-east India or both
The Kingdom of Nepal was established in 1768 and started a
campaign of unifying what would form the modern territories of
Nepal.
According to Hindu mythology, Nepal derives its name from
an ancient Hindu sage called Ne, referred to variously as Ne
Muni or Nemi. According to Pashupati Purana, as a place
protected by Ne, the country in the heart of the Himalayas came
to be known as Nepal.
Political System in Nepal
The politics of Nepal functions within the framework of a
parliamentary republic with a multi-party system. Executive power is
exercised by the Prime Minister and their cabinet, while legislative
power is vested in the Parliament.
The Nepali Congress , Communist party of Nepal(UML) and Nepal
Communist Party(Maoist) , have been the main rivals of each other by
defeating one another in successive elections since the establishment
of democratic republic Nepal.
Recently the government is run under the leadership of Nepal
Communist party(Maoist).
COSTUME
The national Nepalese dresses are good and attractive, different from
other countries. The costumes of Nepal are most beautiful and meaningful
than others. The custom, food and clothing, and other traditional rites and
rituals of Nepalese people are associated with the economic condition,
cultural environment, and geographical diversity of the country.
The clothes are used according to their geographical belt in Nepal. People
of the mountain belt wear thick and long woolen clothes called Baku and
Doha. The people of the hilly region wear Kochhar, a bhoto, and a cap.
The Terai people wear Dhoti and a long shirt called Kurta. The Mayalposh
Suruwal, coat, and cap are the national dress of the Nepalese people. Fariya
(sari) and Cholo (Blouse) are popular among the Terai females.

NEPAL- CHINA
RELATION
The relationship of Nepal and China is as old as history.
These two are the neighboring countries in good relationship
since pre-historical period. These two countries have
engaged in cooperative and intimate relationship regarding
religious, cultural, economic, social and political aspects
since the centuries. The holy birth place of Lord
Buddha, Lumbini initiated with the Manjushree's visit to
Nepal has become the site o f attraction for Buddhist
in studying and visiting fo r two thousand years. In this
context, Chinese pilgrims like Faxian's and Xuan zang's fifth
century visit to Lumbini and Nepali Buddhist Scholars
like Buddhabhadra Shakya's effo rt in spreading Buddhist
Buddhism in China is "noteworthy". Likewise, Nepali
princess Bhrikuti's engagement to chinese Tibetan King
Songsten Gampo and artist Arniko's move to
construct Nepali architecture in Tibbet China and Inside in
China are also mention worthy.

NEPAL- CHINA
RELATION
Generally, Nepal-China relation bloomed politically and diplomatically after the
establishment of People's Republic of China. More especially, the locus of
Nepal-China relationship begins with the diplomatic relationship established in
1955. After this intimacy with China, Nepal has been Advocating for China in
UN.
65
NEPAL- CHINA
RELATION
In the same vein,
Nepal has been
insisting upon the
issues of regional
autonomy and human
rights of China
constantly. Inclination
of Nepal to the "One-
China" policy is the
aftermath of such
sprite. We Nepali
people, Nepal
government,
Nepalese political
parties are
wholeheartedly
determined to the
"One China Policy".

My Impressions about China
Massive malls absolutely everywhere
Excellent public transportation - so cheap and easy to use
All the people I’ve met were absolutely lovely and extremely
helpful. Also, there are so many older people in the parks,
exercising or dancing, which is refreshing to see.
Almost all of the restaurants I came across in China served
Chinese food.
As a tiny woman travelling alone I felt quite safe, even at
night in less populated areas.
I generally view Chinese as having very productive culture,
and I thought their subway system was very well planned and
that the roads and highways generally seemed to be in good
condition with very little construction work going on.
My Impressions about China…………
I also impressed and appreciated how they decorate the
medians and sides of roads with plants and flowers to add
more color to the city.
Everywhere I go, I see government employees working to
keep the city looking nice.
The architecture here is so different from what I am used to
Another surprising thing is that every Chinese people for
eating everything else except liquid diet uses chop sticks
beautifully which I tried but took around half an hour to pick
same amount of food which they could take within 5 minutes.
Centre of etiquette
Well developed and managed country with robust economic
bedrock and sovereignty.
My Impressions about China………….
Lack of interest in foreign language because they pride of
their native language. I am very much impressed and liked this
character.
While travelling outside, I can’t stop looking out of my
taxi/bus window as I tend to get mesmerized with marvelous
sceneries .
An exclusive center of excellence in providing quality
education to Chinese and foreign students.
The hub of educational, industrial, techno-digital ,cultural
and economical paradigm.
Paradigm and Benchmark of successful Communism.
