Karmapa wrote: well first of all it is intellectually dishonest or plain ignorant on the part of Nepe to call dr. pahari's review 'relatively comprehensive piece on Nepali music' or about 'current situation in Nepali music'. let us not make a mountain out of a molehill. I had not expected I will be criticized for calling it a 'relatively comprehensive piece'. What I had expected, baru, was to be criticized for the title of the thread, 'Great Review'. Anybody ? Now to Karmapa's gambhir aarop to me. I don't mind to plead guilty of being a plain ignorant. As a matter of fact, I had myself reported my ignorance with these words - Having not much access to Nepali music and a lot of skepticism carried over from the initial phase of Nepali pop, I always wanted to hear more about them I should have been rewarded for my plain honesty, instead. Khair. While characterizing 'relatively comprehensive piece' as an intellectually dishonest characterization, Karmapa ji seems to have missed to read the word RELATIVELY. I mean from the level of sophistication in the writing of Karmapa ji, one should not have any doubt that he does understand the meaning of RELATIVELY, right ? 'Relative to what' should have been a good question to me, at least before hammering the verdict of intellectual dishonesty. If it is not too late, may I answer the question your honor did not care to ask, my lord ? Thank you for your kind permission. Let me present the full context of my allegedly dishonest claim. Word by word, from my posting- I always wanted to hear more about them, exactly what our music fans liked or did not like about a particular work, worker or group. But in Sajha, it never went aboveWow, Cool and Great. To my great relief and I believe of many who were as thirsty as I were, here is a relatively comprehensive review of Nepali music by the one and only in DC, Dr. Anup Pahari, in Himal Khabarpatrika. With this, allow me to rest my case.
