does anyone know what the flag on top of the new COA means? --raraa 20:32, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

It's Nepal's national flag. Its symbols and unique shape are discussed on its page. --Huntington

[edit] Bad Link

The "Emblem of Nepal" link redirects back to the this page. Changing it to standard text. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Squadnleedah (talkcontribs) 13:31, 31 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Why the change?

It might be useful to add a sentence or two about WHY the new COA is better or more reconciliatory than the old one. What specifically in the old COA is offensive to some group or groups? Ifdef 14:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Good question; likely the monarchy symbols, but I've got no source for that. —Nightstallion (?) 23:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Interesting point indeed. For one thing, the map on the new one insignia probably symbolizes national unity, and the two hands reconciliation. At least this would seem logical given the recent civil war. It must be possible to locate a source somewhere. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 21:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
