Indigenous People's Assimilation Into the Mainstream

Oppressed as a colony
Disappearing lifestyles
We are destroyed by the
Mainstream Hindu culture and values

Indigenous nations! We are called barbaric
Indigenous nations! What is our value?
Development is valued these days
Is is right to be civilized?

We are force fed religion unknowingly
Dashain, Tihar, the festive season
We forget ourselves in the dazzling lights
And are mixed into the wave of assimilation

उपनिवेश भएए थिचिएर
जीवन आफ्नो लोप पारि
मूलधारी हिन्दू संस्कार र
मान्यतामा मस्सी जन्छन्

अदिवासी हामीलाई जंगली भन्छन्
अदिवासी हाम्रो महत्व के हो?
विकस नै मान्दै आ छन्
सभ्य हुनु नै सही हो र?

थाहै नपाई लाद्छन धर्म
दशै तिहार चाड पर्व्
झिलिमिलिमा भुलिगइ
समिकारणले मिसी जन्छ
