Fear of GANDAK

It is quite strange that village people have unknown fear. They don't know what they are afraid of. When I visited there last time by the end of March, I was shocked to know that kids and even adults don't walk outside during evening and night. I wanted to show kids docu drama and pictures, so I borrowed a television and a DVD player from a neighbour. Iwanted all the kids and adults to come and watch TV at my parents home, but only about 50 people arrived. When I was small, my parents also used to frighten me saying these stuffs, so it would be biggest fear for us during monsoon, while there are bushes and crops everywhere. In fact parents wanted me to stay at home but I always used to go away. But now it is quite different, that people think this is real. They think there are some strange people who are either from India or from southern Nepal who come to hiils and take kids with them putting them into a big bag (either killing or alive) to sell themback to India. If they kill kids, they sell kidney and ohter body parts and if kids are aive, they are used in circus or they make kids handicapped after cutting their hands/legs and make them begger. This may happen but the fear of people is really strange. In my opinion,people should not have such fear because it is nearlyimpossible for the people of south to go to hills alone while there is strikes and fighting in south. Not only in few villages but in whole 3 districts, people are afraid of this GANDAK. BEWARE!!!!
