National Anthem

Posssibly the new one. Definately much better than "prachnda, pratapi, bhupati..."

सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भइ फैलिएका, मेची-महाकाली ।

प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल
वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल

ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल ।

बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल ।

I don't know if this is the perfect one, but is certainly better than the old one which was ... well .... plainly sycophantic in praise of a person and not the nation. It was certainly not 'nation'al. The new one fits the bill better.

I think people are correct when they say that maybe the word "agragami" is a bit too much, a buzzword easily associated with the communists (Mao especially). Maybe w more neutral word could be found.
