Professor Dr. RISHIKESHAB RAJ REGMI – who teaches anthropology at the Tribhuwan University - is a well known anthropologist of Nepal:

"The event of September 1 was very mysterious. The people who attacked mosque and Muslims are not Nepalese. I cannot believe that any Nepali who has grown up in the social harmony can do such works against their own brothers and sisters. The process of integration is very strong in Nepal. People of different religions live together respecting sentiments and sensitivities of each other.

"Two main mosques standing in front of the Palace of Hindu monarch is one of the great examples of religious tolerance existing between Muslim, Hindu and other communities. One of the main Mosques is standing side by side with Sanskrit Hostel, where Brahmin live and study, in Durbar Marg. Without supply of bangles and beads (Chura, Pote) and other ornaments by Muslims who make them, marriage of Hindu people cannot be complete. Through the marriage between Muslims and non-Muslims, the society has been further integrated and united." >> continue
