National Anthem

Flag of Nepal
Queen Elizabeth II visited USA on May 7, 2007. People were saying this visit would be a crucial one as both country’s on going war on Iraq.( as UK are withdrawing their Troops from Iraq, Phase wise.)
BBC and CNN were broadcasting it live on air.

George W. Bush accompanied by ‘first lady’ and Queen Elizabeth by ‘Duke of Edinburgh’ on welcome ceremony on white house, Washington.

Queen Elizabeth was Given 21 gunfire salute/salutation and they started to sing National Anthem of their own nation. 1st it was National Anthem of UK followed by USA.

All of a sudden I realized my country Nepal do not have National Anthem. What is our National Anthem? Our Country doesn’t even have National Anthem after implementation of “Loktantra” (new terminology for Democracy with same old strategy/Policy). As people want to go republic, old one was banned as it reflects more of Monarchy and king.

If we have to sing our National Anthem with the sentiment of nationalism what will we sing because we don’t have one!!!

Is it good to hear citizen of a nation (Nepal), which doesn’t even have their own National Anthem??
