Not all dirty
The article on Tango dance (Sunday Post, March 25, 2001) was an eye opener
for me. The Kathmandu Post has every space for all "dirty" culture of the west
but it seldom becomes liberal to something exemplary from those countries. Is it that
there are only seductive things like Tango in the west? Argentina is famous for many other
things like aboriginal people, their culture, World Heritage Sites, attempt to reduce
pollution, classical music, and fight against drugs etc. But The Kathmandu Post chose only
the thing which can never be something even the Argentines of good family love to talk
about.
Does the writer think that the sensible readers of Kathmandu will be happy to
read about this form of dance which has left its original aroma and now only the rotten
smell is left? I can’t say anything about the writer; it reflects her level of
intellectuality or vision.
Why, Sunday Post can spare some space for some good aspect of the rich
culture of the Kathmandu Valley, like music, dance or other beautiful scenery like Kakani
or Dhulikhel if they can’t find anything better from Argentina? Let people read about
something which will take the readers to some heights than to a gutter like the Bagmati.
