My country, my pride

Nepal is a beautiful country in the laps of the Himalayas and is well known all over as a world. Nepal is the country of Lord Buddha’s; it is the homeland of the brave Gorkhas, a country bestowed with maximum cultural and natural decorum. Very few places on earth can rival the beauty and rarity of Nepal. The beautiful snowcapped mountains in the north, the high and lowland valleys and the plain, fertile land of the Terai — all these have proved to be a boon of nature to Nepal.

The rich culture, tradition, arts, civilisation have made people recognised Nepal all over the world as a country rich in cultural heritage. Nepal possesses a great and glorious history made by the brave sons and daughters of Nepal. The people of this holy land are beautiful and gentle creations of God whose hearts are pure and filled with an unshakeable bravery and patriotism.

Belonging to different castes, culture, race and ethnicity, Nepalese are united. Though a Hindu nation other religions gets equal respect, protection and tolerance here.

But today the darkness of terrorism, hatred, violence, poverty and misery has overshadowed the lives of people in Nepal. — Sujeena Shakya, Class 10, Little angels’ school
