>Yousinge Lobsang Tamang, aged forty-two, stands proudly with his three sons, Dawa, Suku, and Pasang Tsering. Among orthodox Hindus of Nepal sons are preferred over daughters for carrying on the family name and worshipping the family ancestors. The Tamangs and other hill people have accepted this attitude to some extent.
