NEHA JOWARCHAN: No matter what caste or culture we belong to, we are all humans at the end of the day. We bleed the same blood and breathe the same air. So let’s not divide each other but come stronger together as one!SUJAN SHRESTHA: We are all born different, we are all raised different, we all have different backgrounds, different ideals, different passions, different journeys and different destinations. However, we could have one small thing in common that can bind us all together with all of our differences to something much more greater. This is what turns drops of water to oceans, trees to forests and stars to the galaxies. There lies the power of unity and harmonySAMI MALLA: What connects us is the diverse cultures and similar practices that we share as people of Nepal. Being proud of who we are should resonate with how we treat one another; uniting us as a community.ANJOLA GAUTAM: It’s sad that casteism is still strongly active to this day, for centuries our narcissist society only created hatred between our own people. It’s time we break these barriers and start educating ourselves. Instead of fighting for our egos and meaningless status, we need to focus on building a brighter and happier future for the country, where people can live in peace- imagine a place like that! It’s only possible if we put an end to this, once and for all!BISHWAHANG LIMBU: “Our unity is our Strength and Diversity is our Powerâ€.LEX LIMBU: The diversity that Nepal and its people offer is what makes us unique.
